after that, you should be free to use an emulator to play the game with. as long, as said emulator doesnt require a bios/isnt somehow copying official code unless of course, you again dumped that yourself and still have the source of that dump with you.
Thankfully for the few systems out there that still benefit from a BIOS (PS2 and optionally the Wii come to mind), it's easy enough to dump your own (gameshark for PS2, homebrew for Wii).
Well Technically yes but the "law" Isn't going to know wether you Physically Own the Game or not if they find out you have a ROM in your Possession so Theoretically they can't do anything about it (Well they can but yea whatever they never have)
Generally things that end up in court are a "caught you during the download" thing. Or during an upload, if it's a torrent, since that's way easier for them to add on fines for to make an example out of you.
The difference in your example is copyright laws. I would imagine you wrote last week's psych notes yourself, or got permission to do so. Did you write the install files to Half-Life yourself, or get written permission to do so? Did you film that video? Direct it? Write it?
Yes, I wrote the notes.
No, I did not create the install files, or have anything to do with the production of a video.
Are you saying that copying and pasting files on my own computer is wrong? What about moving the install files from one drive/partition to another, to run it from the second partition? Windows, by default, will make a copy of the file on the second partition/drive, confirm it's done properly, and then delete the first. That operation will also produce a copy of the install files or whatever.
And what about images? I, personally, took some pictures of my cats,
here and
here. If people browse the threads and save the images on their own computer, is that violating the copyright?
According to copyright law copyright is inherent, and comes into play the moment the work is fixed into an understandable form...
and is not dependent on whether I'm charging money or not.
So is it wrong of people to save their own copies of those images? And what of the browser cache? Browsers will automatically store a temporary copy of the files in order to display them, either in RAM, or on the disk (on the disk being much more likely).
I honestly don't care if that is what you do. I simply want to break this pipedream that it's legal. It isn't. Especially any game which has a version available via current systems (Like Wii/WiiU VC, or the re-release of Zelda OoT,), those copyrights are renewed and valid.
But those are emulated versions...
Not to mention that the copyright on all Nintendo games is still in effect anyways, since they were all produced after Jan 1st 1978, and so will last the life of the author plus 70 years (meaning 2048 is the minimum for expiry).
Back on topic, as has been said before, N64 on 3DS would be tricky-impossible... personally I wouldn't expect anything more than the Emu on the PSP (and even then it'll take a few releases to achieve that...)
I'd be pretty surprised if the 3DS wasn't good bit power powerful than the PSP in the CPU department. We know it beats out the PSP in graphics as that much is obvious, but trying to find actual performance numbers for custom devices like this is annoying as hell.
heey, I really don't know much about emulation or hacking, but I had this idea... what about to do a "remake" of the N64 games in the N3DS, what I want mean.. (sorry for my bad english) can we take the files from a N64 ROM then, in some way, do the nessesary programing to make a N3DS ROM and then run it like a normal 3DS ROM. well, this is an idea that a had when they release Zelda OoT 3D... I think it is posible, but i don't know how much programing knowleadge it's required to do something like this... or apps for make the translate from one format to the other...
someone who know something about this??
They created the game themselves, they did not use any parts of the original ROM.
ARM11 is ARMv6.
Well, to be specific, the link to the CPU info there says it's ARMv6
K, but still.
edit: oh, wikipedia says something about dumping your own BIOS being legal in US, and since CDs are so easy to dump, i guess PS1 emulation is more or less okay?
The BIOS is dumped from the actual system itself, so you'll need some way to do that, usually by running homebrew or something on the system.
