What are roms

[neo10060]

in general, what are ROMS?

 

[Memnoch]

They are software versions of the cartridges you'd use on your consoles I guess. I'm not technically minded so why am I trying to answer? Oh yeah PC +1 :lol:

a rom is basically a emulated game for a video game system (ex. super nintendo would be an emulator, but super mario world would be a rom) both of which are downloadable from a website to use on a pc or a gp32. If you want a good rom site, email me at [EDIT FROM EvilDragon: NO EMAILS FOR ROM REQUESTS, PLEASE!]

NOTE: Roms are illegal if you do not have the original game and must be deleted within 24 hours (but nothing happens if you dont delete them)

I dont think they are illegal unless you sell em. I dunno

ROMS (ReadOnlyMemory) are exact dumps from the chip(s) inside the carts. That "Legal for 24 hour" law is competely bullshit, but then again (as some wise forum member said who I've forgotten his name): "Ask 3 lawers about ROM legality and you'll get 5 differant answers"

I knew that...I just dont want to get kicked off the forums. :lol:

 

[Shaking Spirit]

You won't get kick off the forums for talking about roms, or saying that you illegaly own roms. You WILL be kicked off if you say where you got them though

I've got a pretty good emulator, I'll only release a beta when we get some female users!

 

[jot2b]

LOL Twimfy!

fasttimes, I am 99% sure there is nothing wrong with talking about GoodTools or ROM Manager.

It's okay to talk about all those tools (because they are not illegal and can be used for your own dumped roms), but don't talk about rom sites, rom requests (not even say "eMail me and I'll tell you"), just don't talk about anything that leads to something illegal, okay?
Thanks
