Dragon Quest 1-3 on GameBoy Color. 4-6 and 9 are on DS. 7 on PS1. 8 on PS2 and 10 TBA

I've got a moral/ethical question for you folks considering piracy.

Would you guys say it is still pirating if you buy a Wii game, but not the Wii itself, and play it on PC? Like I'm thinking of just buying some of the Wii games I've missed and playing them via PC.

whiskeystrike

Well if you don't own a Wii you don't have the BIOS, so running the emulator is illegal. I don't know if it would be called "piracy" though.Eponique

Dolphin doesn't require a BIOS anyway.

Aren't some of them called Dragon Warrior instead of Dragon Quest?

Yerp. Some of them have some elements of monster training and whatnot too, but the core stays relatively the same throughout the series.

But I'm pretty sure it has the BIOS in it >_>Eponique

wat dafuq is a BIOS?

Anyway, there's a bunch of info on this from Nintendo themselves and IIRC even if you own a game it's still considered illegal. I don't know if that's true or not though.

That would make sense, considering you need the system to play the games, and playing the games without the system means Nintendo didn't get paid for a console sale.

If everyone were to do that, Nintendo wouldn't sell any consoles, so there must be a law in place around it.

It's here

"There is a good deal of misinformation on the Internet regarding the backup/archival copy exception. It is not a "second copy" rule and is often mistakenly cited for the proposition that if you have one lawful copy of a copyrighted work, you are entitled to have a second copy of the copyrighted work even if that second copy is an infringing copy. The backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic. Therefore, whether you have an authentic game or not, or whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet."

Aren't you guys talking about Wii games? I think that would be especially true for Wii games, considering Wii consoles and game are still readily available on the market.

I don't know much about it, I have never used an emulator or ROM in my life.

Woo awesome thunderstorm going on right now :cool: The rain is freaking ridiculous!

I am such a health freak. I haven't eaten anything except for fruit, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat like chicken and fish, for the last 2 years. I haven't even had any candy, soda, sweets, or anything junk food related or fast food related at all, literally just fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean meat, and only water to drink, no alcohol or soda or anything else besides water.

[QUOTE="Blabadon"][QUOTE="whiskeystrike"]

I leave Monday. Couldn't care less about the TOU right now :P

whiskeystrike

Basic Combat Training for US Army. I should be back sometime late May to early June. Gonna miss out on a lot of gaming over the months (plus all the damage control from Vita sales) but yeah, I'll be back to gaming around then.

I beat that game a couple months ago, I thought it was awesome. The only parts I disliked were the on-rail segments, but I hate on-rail segments in every game, hence why I hate the Kinect.

Another48Hours is shaping up to be an awesome troll.

He hides it so well, and then lashes out and plays dumb, epic.

He just needs to come to SW instead of Legacy Platforms.

Finished Uncharted 2 :)

Great game. Last boss was stupid but not as stupid as Uncharted 1's.
