I'm in a FEW posts in this bad-boy. Gets pretty good towards the center set of pages.
What is the point in arguing with 13-year-old idiots?
That's right, there isn't one. :P
blahhh...s.o.s....different day...
Hey guess what? GameFAQS sucks pretty fucking bad. Pitty you Jeremy...
That's why I came up with the ever-so-witty sub-title.
That, and with all the crap I've been going through, I needed a good laugh. And is there anything funnier than GameFAQs posters trying to act mature?
Yes. Tom Green on a good day, I'd say.
I didn't read all of it but disagree with anyone who thinks emulation is a black and white case of right and wrong.
To each their own neo.
Eh, it's not even worth arguing over their. I got in an arguement on the Castlevania: HoD board the other day. First time I've posted in like a year. The guy wanted to know if the US version of the game was edited, and based on that he was gonna download the ROM. Something about that just rubbed me the wrong way.
I kinda skimmed through it and can sum up my feelings about the debate in one word: Bleh.
To have some fun, I started looking for TOS violations and marked a few of them. :sneak:
When I visit GF, I visit only the arcade board and occasionally the current events/Bemani/Classic Gaming/Fighting ones.
GameFAQs is good for the FAQs... but little else.
Emulation is legal if source code isn't copied.
ROMs generally are not, however.
Things like the e-Reader NES games are exactly why emulation is flat out wrong. Companies can absolutely make more money on old games by re-releasing them.

The only time he was ever funny, was that one time on his first episode on MTV when he asked everybody in the audience to take off one shoe and put it in a garbage bag. They came back from commercial and he proceeded to take the bag and scream something totally ridiculous while running out of the studio to the street and tying it to the back of a taxi.
Then he told it to drive away and he screamed you like that, YOU LIKE THAT over and over again to the camera while a horrified audience tried to laugh it off, and then he took some random guy's ice cream cone and licked it.
For the record, I actually have no idea what this thread is about.
Good point Yoshi, I hadn't even tought about the e-Reader in all of this.
How many of you have downloaded mp3s? Taped a movie off HBO? Watched a fansubbed anime?
You know what they say about glass houses and stones...
Evil french pirates... stop making excuses.
So sorry, monseiur.
:D
:confused:
I bet there's bound to be Grade-A sig material in that thar thread!
Gold boys, Gold!
Emulation allows me to...
Play my Playstation games with enhanced graphics through VGA.
Pause ending credits on games.
Play beta versions of games, like playing Hidden Palace Zone in Sonic 2.
Play my Duo games until I get another Duo.
Play translated versions of games that were never translated into English.
Try out GBA games before buying them.
These are all completely legit reasons for emulation.
Green can be hilarious, as he was in that little vignette.Quote:

His most reviled (misunderstood? ha!) work, Freddy Got Fingered, is some sort of perverse masterpiece. Flawed, bizarre and without redeeming social value, but a masterpiece nonetheless. One for the ages, surely.
Neo: Checking out GBA games may be something you find useful, but it's not "legit", assuming that means legal. Just being devil's advocate. (Matches my avatar, no?)
I know trying GBA roms isn't legal but it's legit in that I'm not doing anything morally wrong or causing any monetary loss to game companies. If anything, it makes me buy more GBA games.
I have no problem with emulation.
First Sifl & Olly, now this. I wuv you BenT. :DQuote:

My cult of personality grows! :D
Tell that to Konami and mention Snatcher/Policenauts and Dracula X. :(Quote:

I agree with NeoZeed, emulation is not black & white...Quote:

Just like emulation, Michael Jackson is neither black nor white.
In addition to what NeoZeedeater has just listed:
What if you own the arcade PCB... and it croaks?
High quality screenshots can be made easy.
Your PlayStation or other system cocks up (i.e. The Skips) and you take it to the shop. You can pop the games in the PC and play them that way in the meantime.
Sprite rips.
Preservation.
Generally I don't give a rat's ass what people do with it. On the other hand, I do draw the line at emulating something that was released too recently such as KOF 2001 or 2002, KOF 2000 (There's the DC port), Rage of the Dragons, or Metal Slug 4 unless you own the original game in some form.
I emulate what I want when I want.
So do most of you... your pussies just hurt too much to admit it.
You fucking hypocrites.
So what? I'll still emulate the games... I bought the game once, I am sure as shit not gonna buy it twice.Quote:

Especially old ass Nintendo games.
They're "hypocrites" 88mph. "Hipocrites" are the fat, out of shape, losers who run organizations like the PTC..
Thanks...
I never claimed to be the king of spelling. :)
Jay always had the bigass GameFaqs threads with about 290 posts each that have shitty grammer.
<---uses NES/Genny roms, all though if the game is good, I'll buy it just so I can have it.
You spelled "grammar" wrong, dingus.
