What difference does it make if you don't have a Wii? They're losing more money that you didn't buy a Wii or NES to play the game. They probably aren't "losing" money if you download a NES rom but they are losing sales, and I'm sure you're not just downloading NES roms...I have no disagreements with other sites not allowing these types of discussion. That's why there are sites like GBAtemp to cover topics like those.techforumz said:Ok, I take your point. The BIOS can be copyrighted. But still, the emulator itself is still legal, if you download then it's illegal. Some would argue that it's theft. Others, like myself would argue that it's only theft if they lost something. Honestly, could they POSSIBLY have lost something from me downloading a NES ROM. I don't own a Wii, so VC doesn't count. And no, this isn't news, but I can't move it.
Both Connectix's commercial PSX emulator and Bleem used "clean room" reverse engineered version of the PSX BIOS which was perfectly legal at the time.Bob Loblaw said:Well, like heran bango said it depends on the bios of the emulator. You can't just say emulators are legal or illegal, it's not that black and white. It depends on the code used. And more times than not the ROMs used with the emulators are illegal.

That's not how law works, homeboy.

I loves them money too.
Luckily for modchips there's always MCC that ships to the US.
