Title: So what's the story on ---They-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named-Here---?
Post by: Chris2 on April 28, 2008, 09:07:52 pm
Apparently, this website sells rom sets. I'm not meaning to advertise this in ANY way. I'm rather curious as to whether or not anyone knows anything about these guys. Are they even legal?

Short answer:
No.

Long Answer:
No and why the hell would you have thought so!? Most of the copyright holders wouldnt sell the rights for use in this manner.

^ Well excuuuuse me, Princess. I didn't mean to offend.

I didn't think that they were legal. I was just curious to see if there was some secret pact I didn't know about.

/me tips up my teacup and looks at you pretentiously. then sips. then puts down teacup and makes an archaic politcal joke that britons would make back before they lost their empire/dignity.

My short answer/long answer thing was based on a yahtzee zero punctuation review. It was actually intended as a joke, but I forget that most people arent yahtzee fans... yet.

OK, but could you please remove the link to the ROM site ?

Posting such a link is against the rules, not to mention the wishes of our gracious host.  ;)

Don't mind PK -- apparently someone is missing their friend ...

Done.

For the record, I'm quite a Yahtzee fan. Being on other message boards just leaves me a bit on edge about random anger.  :)

Be sure to avoid the Politics n Religion board -- there's way too much anger and it's all pretty random!

What kind of permissions do you need to have to get access to those boards?  Is it a post count thing?

Did you catch the ref though? (It is rather obscure but caught in my brain, just the way he put it about whether or not a videogame will cause someone to be violent: Short answer: No.   Long answer: No and go fugg yourself) :D Classic!


And Cheffo, what friend are you refering to???

requirements to get in pnr are:

1. read the rules of the board

2. PM saint asking to get access and in the PM explain in plain english in your own words what you understand about the rules.

Ive got a couple things there, they mail it to you the day you order it, legal? is anything rom related "legal" no, but it sure as hell beat hunting down an up to date mame set and even worst finding it and downloading it. Not any worse morally then downloading , rather buy it and be on my way playing
