that it's illegal to create a rom from a game you own

Yes.  It is intellectual property.  Same thing as burning a "backup" copy of any video game CD rom or PS1 CD or even WindowsME/2000 CD.<br><br>But, in this sense, it is also illegal to hack the pak1.pak file and move the pop.lmp file to the pak0.pak, just to save space and use custom maps on your ppc, and this site has multiple threads discussing that illegal activity. <br><br>But, as far as I'm concerned (and MANY others) as long as you own the registered version you can do whatever you want with it.  Which is bull, but sounds very similar to as long as you own the original cartridge, you can have a backup rom.<br><br>What makes me laugh is all the people who have MAME at all, which I'm sure Moose having a Microdrive you probably have MAMECE and MAMEBOY, with a whole lot of roms, but I sincerely doubt you have the original PACMAN arcade machine sitting in your home, nonetheless, having multiple arcade machines around the house to befit having all those roms.  I don't.

Chuck, shut up.  Stop bragging about how your entire computer software collection is warez and how you download your entire movie collection from irc.  It is illegal and it isn't to be posted about on this board.  If you want to talk about your warez fantasies in a pocketpc forum, go to www.cewarez.com they have a board there and a chat room.  And learn how to type, it's painful to read your typing, it's even worse than mine.

chuck, what were you typing on?<br>I could care less what kind of illegal things you have, or anyone else. I just don't want PocketMatrix.com, which hosts the best free PPC game: PocketQuake, to be shut down because some little piece of fucking shit wants to transfer some warez or .pak files. If I hear one more word about Warez coming from you I will personally ban your entire ISP's IP address from our board. One last time. SHUT THE FUCK UP.

actually last night, i was typing that on my dreamcast web browser with my controller, because my parents were on the computer.  I have the keyboard and mouse for the DC but i didn't use it because i didn't feel like getting up :P . And not everything i have is doownloaded, i payed for WinME and ummm... Microsoft word.  And i never said that the movies i ddl are illegal i could own them. ever been to #dvd-central and stuff like that its exactly what you are talking about when you want to start a legal movie ring.
