Essentially, GBAtemp is for discussing Nintendo games, systems, flaschcarts and modchips. You may also discuss other brands of games and systems too, but they aren't really as popular here. We're not really anti-"other systems", just pro-Nintendo, hence the name GBAtemp.

You can TALK about ROMs, like how to hack them or translate a Japanese game to English or how to get past such-and-such part of whatever game, but you CANNOT post any links to ROMs here.

Downloading ROMs is illegal, but talking about those ROMs is not. Just don't mention where you got them when you do talk about them.

You can talk about flashcarts and their utilities as flashcarts themselves technically aren't illegal. (most places anyway)

You can ask questions about why XXXXX game won't run on YYYYY cart or what options you have to set to make it work on that cart.

You can talk about cheats for the games. Posting cheat code is perfectly fine, just don't post links for cheat codes from sites that host illegal ROMs.

You can talk about the pimple on your butt or how bad your feet smell, though no one really cares to hear about it, you CAN talk about if you feel the need. Just make sure to post stuff in the correct sub-forum. For example, pimply-butt and stinky-feet posts belong in the Testing Area.

You can alleviate boredom by hanging here and having fun replying to other people's topics as opposed to creating your own......which is what I mostly do.

You can even swear if you damn well please, but it shouldn't be every other word when you do. Try to self-moderate yourself on this one.

Basically, follow the guidelines here: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?act=boardrules and you'll be alright.

Hope that helps you. It seems most people are just being silly or just very short with their replies. Don't sweat it, you'll get used to that. We are a big happy family here once you get to know us.

Welcome to GBAtemp!

Everyone has already described it pretty well, but there's one thing I'd like to add:
Please don't treat the forum as an IM conversation.
