What do you need:
1. A modded Wii + Wiimote
2. SD card with ~100MB
3. Wad manager to install the forwarder
4. Optional but extremely useful: a usb keyboard

What to do:
1. Download this pack:
*forbidden link removed*
2. Install the Forwarder with your Wad manager
3. Run the app and the you;ll see the game selection menu so press the letter or number followed of the game you want to play
Press X to show the list again
All games are tested and working fine

I already made a batch file to allow easy access to all games so Dos skills are not required.
I also included extra Dos commands in Dosbox\_Dox Folder

These games can be found on abandonware websites.
*links removed*

Thank you

When a moderator or administrator usually does something, it's for a reason. Not for you to repost it. :/

I don't know what it says in the forum rules about backseat moderatoring, but I would of at least in some way, banned you by now... If you don't know why, then may be you should ask those who you've offended and for breaking the rules about posting certain links.

GBAtemp is a US_based site and goes by US law.
http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-duration.html
in the US copyrights take 70 years past the author's death to expire.

The games are copywritten and it's illegal to redistribute them. DOSbox is okay, the games are not.
Actually GBAtemp is hosted on a french server from ovh, thus should go by french/european law.

There is no such thing as "abandonware" and several of the games listed are still being sold via gog.com and other sites.
Copyright doesn't last forever, so yeah, there is such thing as abandonware.

those are games that were paid but now free and open sourced

Abandon-ware still holds copyright regardless of where you live, the likelihood of getting prosecuted over abandon-ware is very slim as the author may just not enforce it and overlook it.

What about the game companies that stopped their buissiness?
Their knowhow was taken over by other companies, and probably lies rotting somewhere in a box, until they decide they need the room for something else and decide to ditch everything not knowing anymore what it is.

The european community is currently paying a bunch of dudes astronomical amounts of money to create an archive of "multimedia from the past" to ensure it doesn't get lost.

Don't understand me wrong, I am not promoting pirating. I am just saying that the people voting the laws don't know s**t what they are talking about.

In the US, there is a statement "It's the law". Some of us Europeans have difficulties to understand the correct meaning of this.

Chances are the channel was illegal too. Judging by the OP's other threads.
I got this wad from the internet and edited 1 picture long time ago,
I think it's Windows 95 theme for dosbox or something.

Getting a WAD from the Internet doesn't mean it's legal. The issue is still whether or not it contains copyrighted material.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
