I don't care if it's one game or one hundred games.  It's illegal.

Technically, the emulators themselves aren't illegal. The ROMs, however, are. So, yeah... ::)
Title: Re:Emulators?

Ok, that makes... no sence!

And how doesn't it make any sense?

Very few things make sense to you, JDog.

It makes perfect sense; if you have an emulator of a system, that's totally okay. You could make your own games for it (somehow) or see how the thing works.

Stealing a game to play it, however, isn't so okay.

But I think if the game is out of production or you own it, then it isn't illegal, due to the fact that they aren't making any money off the game, anyways.

Mags did that, but I never got to try it out, I didn't really feel like it at the time, it looked interesting. mags has something to where he can make his own RPG games, I'm not sure what its called though.

RPG Maker XP.

The Postality Knights edition is free, if you catch what I'm sayin'. the other one needs a key code, or you can go and buy it.

All things involving ROM's are illegal unless you own the game yourself and aren't distributing it, however, you'll only get in trouble for emulating new games, like with a 360 emulator running Gears of War, or something like that.
However, don't advertise any sites for emulating on here.
Some of the easiest ROM's to hack and make your own game or movie out of are the pokemon games, but you still need a decent knoweldge of coding and stuff like that.

As for Emulators, try and get Dolphin... it's high quality, from what I hear. It's a GC emulator, but they should have the Legend of Zelda: Collector's Disc in the games, with any luck.
Title: Re:Emulators?
Post by: JDog on August 20, 2007, 05:49:29 PM
oh, pm me the link so I can get to it, please..

For Dolphin your gonna need a state of the art computer, or so I heard.

Post by: Fishalicious on August 20, 2007, 05:51:07 PM
Unfortunately, I do not know the link. Just type in Dolphin Emulator on google, that should work...

Do you have a gun? 'Cause I think you need a gun. (http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p55/Commodore_Axilon/Forum%20Crap/stupid.gif)

I think using an emulator is far less extreme then shooting someone...
Title: Re:Emulators?
Post by: Zelda Veteran on August 20, 2007, 10:41:23 PM
You could go where I got mine :P
DGemu.com
And using them isn't illegal. The worst you could get is a slap on the wrist. Its the people who make them that get in serious trouble. The games I got for mine:

Link's Awakening
Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
Pokemon: Leaf Green
Pokemon: Red Rescue Rangers
Final Fantasy: (can't remember)
Naruto RPG (it was all in Japanese so it was real hard)

And I think I got one more, but I can't remember. It plays GBA and GBC games.
Title: Re:Emulators?
Post by: Twilight Wolf on August 20, 2007, 10:51:52 PM
Yes, using them would probably qualify as "fair use."

I ought to beat you with a dead fish for that one, how dare you deny the FE team their money? lol
Title: Re:Emulators?
Post by: Zoratunic on August 21, 2007, 06:12:58 AM
I only have few games and a couple emulators, lets see:
Pokemon Crystal
A Link to the Past
Marathon
Sonic 1
Sonic and Knuckles
Final Fantasy 5

I try to stay away from the newer games, just incase.

Title: Re:Emulators?
Post by: Gamefreak on August 21, 2007, 03:11:52 PM
We aren't allowed to advertise emulators.  I think Jack locked a topic some time ago for somebody who was advertising them.  

Thanks for getting to this before I did JQ.
