Nintendo Emulators

[RadiclDreamer]

They are coming back because they dont suck like the majority of the crap released today. The games back then were made to be fun and not to just "look" cool

Super Nintendo emulator or nintendo emulater?

And google can answer this for you. ROMs might require P2P, but the emulators themselve can be found online I think.

Every Video Game (no P2P)

The java emu. runs poorly on older machines, imo.

Doesnt have Zelda

I don't think roms should be illegal. Comon, most of these games are 10-20 years old and cannot even be bought any more. Fact is, Nintendo isn't making money off old Nintendo games regardless

Havn't you noticed the resurgence in "classic" game sales? There have been classic game packs for every console including handhelds. Quite a few of them are also ported to Palm and Pocket PC. Every store that sells electronics is flooded with retro controllers with built-in games.

There is still a market for that stuff, so Nintendo, or anyone else, are not likely to release them into public domain any time soon.

Just because they make that sh!t and put it on the shelf doesn't mean that "everybodys" buying it. :disgust:

And that is true.

Actually, no. It's not true "just because they say it is" and it's not true period. Copyright law entitles you to a backup. They argued that it does not apply to MaskROMS because they are silicon and not magnetic storage. Of course, their arguement changed slightly when they made the GCN (Uses discs but DMCA makes copying that variety illegal)! Compact Discs didn't even exist when copyright law was written and we are still entitled to our backups of those (Except DMCA-protected copy-protected ones). IBM PC-clone ROMs were legal to back up (And early systems did not all use writable PROMs, EPROMs & EEPROMs either). Anyway, they will not allow their claim to be tested in court so they can continue claiming it. That's the story.
