Pirating is pirating no matter the reason. If you're dumb enough to put your very life in danger to play a few games, that's your decision. Grow up please, you have NO right to pirate games. There is absolutely NO good reason why you should download games from the internet that you don't own. Now if you own the original carts, that's a totally different story.
Why wouldn't a rich person buy an R4? The convenience of having all your games on one cart is great. Personally, I own many of the games I have pirated.
However, I never try to justify downloading the games I DON'T own. I'm a pirate and I'm not going to be delusional about it. He never says that he's perfect and he doesn't steal games, he says you don't have an excuse to download games. You might have good intentions, but that doesn't cut it.

Well, there are 2 types of piracy[if we're talking about games]. First, the people that use flashcarts just to test the game and buy the real thing. Second, the people who just can't affort them. That is, in fact, real. Most people do piracy because they just can't afford games. But you can't say that it's just an "excuse". If it is "just and excuse" then why are they doing it ? Because they're so f*cked up and have no respect to the developer but only care about their own entertainment ? I don't think there are people like this here in GBAtemp, at least not that I know of.
If you can afford games, you should spend your gaming time and working/studying harder so you'll finally have the money to buy games. Games are not a right, just because you can't afford games does not mean that you should be pitied and given those games. There's only one type of piracy. Downloading a game you don't own is piracy PERIOD. There's nothing to argue about it.
If you're only trying out the games, it's not as bad if you delete it. However, whether you want to believe it or not, downloading anything you don't have the right to download is illegal. And it IS piracy.
