Well, I like the tracker idea if you really keep it legal, include PDRoms or stuff.
But seeing full versions of Quake, all MAME roms, TG16-roms, etc. makes me wanna cry.
See that is what I never understood . People praise the developers that come out with emulators , but then shun people for downloading roms . I mean everyone one here has some pirated roms . Even if you legally own the game you are still breaking the copyright laws by having a rom that you downloaded elswhere . I highly doubt that anymore than 2 people on this board know how to, or actually do dump their own roms . Mame in particular , To properly dump arcade roms you need some pretty complex hardware and a lot of expertise in that field .
No one is praising Reesy for DrMDx because they can play the hottest new PDrom they do it for games like sonic .
This Handheld would not even be close to successful (in fact it would fail miserably) if it wasn't for apps like Mame and Genesis Emulators . The advertising and selling points for it all revolve around piracy .
Notice the image of mame shows roms that are obviously pirates . (hmmm, n goblns world wonder what that could be )
So many people have said that gbax.com does more for the console than GPH itself so I'm going off what they advertise .
So just like people like to help noobs out with flashing thier firmware I like to help people really enjoy their handheld .
Yes it is piracy I cannot deny that , but you would have to be ignorant to think that this handheld has built this community solely on the backs of freeware games and homebrew . Now don't take that statement as knocking the games and apps that have been developed becasue I love them .
Now EvilDragon here you are shown playing both Sonic and Super Mario World while promoting the console . Are you telling me that you dumped those roms yourself and all the other ones on the list yourself or did you download them ?? Why didn't you just show off some PDroms ??
Case and point , while what I do is promoting piracy I say that the GP2X and everyone behind it does the same thing .
I meant gp2x commercial releases .
