you obviously dident read the whole post...

the only site ive found that DOES NOT do that is tresspassing emulation.


emulators are free. its the roms that are not. ya, sure you can dounload them but you must delete them after 24 hours of they're considdered warez. (unless you own one of the actual game cartriges)

[Nerath]

Actually, I did some homework on that, and it's illegal to download ROMs at all, even if you own the cartridge or delete it before 24 hours are up. The 24-hour thing is a myth.

[Raven]

thanks for that bit of info.


hmmm.

now I want to know why its always in the disclaimer.

[Nerath]

People want excuses to pirate games. Come to think of it, people even pirate Photoshop, which should be a cardinal sin. (Come on, people, it's a 600 dollar program, but it's worth its BOX SIZE in solid platinum. If you don't want to pay up, get the academic version for half-price. If you can't pay either, just don't buy it.)

People think that many SNES games, which many of the emulators and ROMS are for, should be eventually public property since they aren't produced anymore. Unfortunately, copyright still holds. People are looking to spread their ROMs around, so they created this 24-hour thing.

Well, that's my theory. I wish the games were public property, too...

yeah, sum programmas are just pretty DAMN EXPENSIVE (paying 700 for windows XP ? NO WAY !!)

[Nerath]

XP is that much? Hmm. I didn't know that. Then again, Windows 98 is pretty good even seven years later...if I didn't have XP, I'd be fairly content with a decently fast 98.

[TheGlove]

yeah, thats the professional, 98 is the best of them all, if a windows OS can be considered "good"

[Raven]

I'm not exactly sure about how fast a windows OS will carry a system but then it depends on what you do with it.
