Found Online Advance Wars...

Illegal? Wouldn't know but, it seems interesting. However, if you don't like it don't blame me! I haven't played it yet.

I have a feeling it is illegal, but looks interesting in any case.

02-19-2003, 08:40 PM

Yeah, it's called emualtion. Nice find, although no one is ever online [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It's been around for a while now.

I dislike playing on emulators. Advance Wars shouldn't be a problem, though. I might try this some day.

Because I'd rather use my left thumb to control the D-pad than a couple of fingers. I just hate using a keayboard to play games. As I've said, this should not be a problem for AW.

And I know you can buy controllers for oyur pc, but I'd rather buy stuff for my GBA and GCN.

Here comes another "Emulators/ROMS are bad!!!!111 You are all thieves!!!!" rants.

I'll have you know that since I already own a copy of Advance Wars, this is technically legal.

02-23-2003, 08:26 PM

Yeah, as long as you own the game or delete the ROM within 24 hours it's legal.

02-24-2003, 04:17 AM

Who the hell deletes a ROM in 24 hours? Aaaahahahahahahahahhaa... Wusses

02-24-2003, 09:47 AM

Probably no one, but if a webmaster tells them to on their ROM page, he cannot be the one to blame.

**Kargath** · 02-25-2003, 12:53 AM

A ROM is never legal, due to a variety of legal causes. It is legal to make ONE backup, but you must make that backup yourself and never use it unless the original copy is destroyed. You may not distribute copies of the backup, neither are you allowed to take copies of that backup. The only ROMs that I know of that are legal are the Vectrex titles, because they've gone open source.

Punishments are fierce, $100,000 plus if you are distributing. Your ability to backup will soon be gone too, as possesing the equipment for flashing the BIOS will become illegal.

Don't start on the 'it can't hurt the big companies' crap - look what you did to Looking Glass Studios!

Well, you're not allowed to download music, to burn CDs etc.

Even if I'm locking this topic, people will still download ROMs. There's no flaming or foul language, so I see no reason why this topic should be closed.

Thank you for the timely and informative information Mr. Legal [img]smile.gif[/img]

Once Rockman & Forte arrives I can delete at least one ROM from my Mega Man collection.

02-25-2003, 01:05 PM

No, once it arrives you can keep it on you computer, because then you own the game [img]tongue.gif[/img]

02-25-2003, 05:05 PM

Well, yeah, but I have no need to now that I own the real deal.

THIS IS THE EMULATOR SQUAD POLICE! WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE YOU HAVE IN YOUR POSESSION AN EMULATOR! STEP AWAY FOR THE KEYBOARD, DROP YOUR MOUSE AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!

Seriously though, are the fuzz going to come to your door and cart you away for having emulators?

02-27-2003, 06:01 AM

PREPARE TO BATTLE CORRUPT EMULATOR POLICE!
