First thing you ever pirated

[pitman]

SNES roms, that is how I discovered Chrono Trigger and FFVI and finally managed too beat Super Mario World for the first time out of many (I stopped counting

)

I wonder if the feds lurk GBATemp. We got a mass confession here!

The first thing I pirated was a Playstation Game. Parappa I believe.

I thought about that as well. Luckily, there is a statute of limitations -- which has long expired in my case -- as well as most people are under the age limit on here when they committed the 'acts'.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars a couple weeks after I got my AK2i.

How did you manage to pirate that? Surely the effort wasn't worth the cost.

NES games.

Probably with the (enormous) floppy disc drive or tape-deck add-on

Venetian Snares - Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits 1972 - 2006 via slsk
it turned me into a believer and have purchased many albums since

 

[liquidnumb]

Several discs of games, graphics, and audio software on my old Commodore 64. I never found a disk/tape drive for my Vic20 or it probably would have started there.

Vic20 was my first computer too and honestly there wasn't much that you would want to pirate on it. (Perhaps my opinion of the system/games are skewed due to time though.)

I started back in the 80's with my NES. I had a cartridge copier (for the life of me I cant remember what it was called) and I used to rent games and copy them to the cartridge. The first game I ever did was Kung-Fu.

 

[DryYoshi]

The first things i did were downloading music (although i dont really see it as pirating, because it's so fricking easy and there are a lot of sites with mp3) and downloading ROM's (of multiple platforms).
(I'm still doing that anyway).
(ATM i download PSP and Wii ISO's and Movies wich I burn to rewriteble DVD's)

Kung Fu?! You must have been desperate to get some games to tide you over until you could rent some better games?

For me, a few years ago I started pirating GBA games like crazy, and playing them with VBA on the PC. After finding a nice USB gamepad I'm doing that again for the ones that won't work on the SCDSTWO. I might've pirated a song or two before that, but I really can't remember.

Someone dumped the cart to tape and I copied the tape off of someone else.

 

[imshortandrad]

Green day songs.

 

[Marsje79]

For the pc that would be Captain Comic back in 89 or so on an old xt

But before that we used to copy c64 tapes on a tape deck!

 

[MissingNo._]

i burrow CDs and rip them.

 

[N4RU70 FR34K]

That would be Pokemon Pearl about 6 months after I got my Zelda DS Lite

 

[Daizu]

I don't really remember, I'm pretty sure it was some song from a video game or anime or something.
