thats what i meant, sorry. If you are going to put music on there, and games and roms etc. Then mostly it should be regarded the same as mp3s. If i own a cd with the songs on and rip the music, and put it onto my 2x, then its pretty much the same as with games and roms of that game. Cd tracks = mp3s, games = roms.
For me though, roms and mp3s are pretty much the same kind of thing, except with a few more issues. Games are so expensive, and so big companies dont want to lose cash coz people are buying them for half the price on import ,s they crack down on that to make more cash.
Also, microsoft decided to make copying their windows op sys illegal.. or you can take a look at half life 2 where valve dont trust ANYONE!! so much so that they make out that cd copying and game copying is completely "illegal"!!. Yet, people have been doing this since tapes and vhs. So until someone official from my government says "all roms and their counterparts used for downloading are illegal and shall be withdrawn" then i shall stop with the whole rom thing.
You have to download a copy of a homebrew game, a COPY, its not yours or the original, its a copy of the original with a liscence to be distributed freely. There are rules by the author aswell, like "please do not host without my permission" etc etc. But as you said aswell, its about openess, but there are still some people who make it less as open as it SHOULD be.
Hey, this is kind of going off the topic really about where to get psx roms, which is possibly a good thing!
I got loads of games, and i got the gp2x to play them on the go. But sometimes i always get the feeling that like "looky what i got! haw haw haw! And have this like strange grin of criminalment... sort of like if you are in college and you have some weed in your pocket to smoke later... i feel somewhat like even though everything is "free" im not completely sure if i want to go and play it in a cop shop, if you know what i mean.
