There is a difference between suggesting someone BUY a game and copy it using an emulator to play it with a translation patch, and then suggesting someone PM you so you can hook them up with ISO's. For the record I was in no way, shape or form supporting, encouraging or most importantly, ENABLING videogame piracy.

While you may feel older games should be free, sadly, the license holders would beg to differ with you on that as they have not released any licenses for any games, and ergo, even NES roms are still illegal. So in short I hope you own a copy of the games that you have ROM's for, because its usually a rule of thumb that warez chat is against the ToS.

And quite frankly, I dont feel like getting banned for enabling because you decided to troll for a topic about slingin your warez. Thats something that you keep to PM.

well technically according to terms and use of emulators you must own the game to keep the iso/rom (of witch i do own 90% of the games in their actually cd/cartridge form) and if you down own them they must be deleted within 30 days of download i was suggesting the pm to hand out the links to the isos downloading them is entirely up to the person and following the rules after works the same way

didnt mean to make it seem like i was handing out illegally pirated games

Im not saying either way bro. I just dont wanna get banhammered on a technicality.

I feel the same way you do about the older games, its just something I reluctantly voice in the open because it tends to get you banned.

well thanks for the headsup, didnt even think of it that way im guessing youve seen the banhammer come down for similar events

and of course i own a copy of my roms :P just dont feel like lugging my snes everywhere i roam to play an old game ^_^ and who wants to dust off their nes, and pop in a game just to see that all their data was deleted after 20 minutes of blowing and adjusting the game resetting and bam everything gone >_<

I understand how you feel. I own a ton of old carts too and all my systems have since blown up and I am stuck with the games (to include my xbox 360)

I have not seen the hammer come down like that here, but on past boards I used to frequent, they would have dedicated mods who trolled looking for keywords in threads related to emulation and people got swept under the rug. Like seriously, 20 minutes after the post was made it was locked and at least one user was banned, almost always the first person to drop the E bomb. I dont know how it works being an MMO board, but by habbit I get cautious whenever someone says emulator in a post. I said it first I know, but in a different context.

Not to mention I have been banned for it, but thats another story.
