yeah after i posted that i chucked on my cab and was greeted with something down the lines of "this pcb is only authorized for use in japan, etc, etc, all other use illegal" and i remembered all of my pcbs have something like that so yeah maybe doesn't help at all, :laugh2: |

Speaking of Nintendo, they are a real bore about this stuff. http://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp They claim that emulation is illegal and that offering a legal ROM source would be legalizing piracy. I take it back. I don't want their stinkin' games on my M.A.M.E(mulator) arcade! What really sucks? They don't even offer you a chance to play their classic games at all. No collections, no packages, nothing. Unless you happen to own a Wii, have it connected to the internet, pay EXTRA for the channel to browse the web, convert your money to Nintendo Wii Points, and pay more than $5 for an ancient console port! |
