Hey, how is SNES emulation on the Zaurus c760/860 and C3000? I don't use SNES emulation because it is usually illegal, but I am curious because it might show me how fast the PDA is.

If you bought the Super Mario All Stars cartridge years ago, you still have the right to play that ROM. Outside of playing games you own, the legality using copies of information varies from region to region, and many people have many differing opions on the morality of it all.

Quote from: x86Daddy,Dec 27 2004, 05:48 PM Isn't it illegal distribute them over the internet and illegal to download someone's distributed ROM even though you have the game cartridge already? What I was thinking was the only possible legal way to play the ROMs is if you own the original cartridge, dump the ROM from your cartridge, and use that specific ROM...this sounds correct, doesn't it? Or am I actually wrong in legal terms? I know I have tried researching it online a few times, but (it is probably familiar to most people is that) it is always confusing. For instance in the above example, Nintendo would be allowed to come after me and sue? I'm not worrying, but trying to understand... Under US law, yes. Probably one fo the main reasons the best ROM sites are in Spanish. Nintendo wouldn't come after you for downloading them, however if you host comercial roms, they likely would send you a cease and decist (sp?) letter and contact your hosting provider.
