Its safe. I recommend it. Just follow the guide-->http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=11365

Moving this to PSP Emulation, Homebrew and Help forum this has nothing to do with dreamcast. Please don't double post a thread either.

Having iso's of games that you don't legally own is illegal man.

Maybe you should try programming a game for months, working over time, meeting deadlines and then releasing your hard work in the hope you can support a family and pay your bills only for it to be pirated by someone exactly like you. Each and every one of those Isos you mention signifies work put in by someone, even the average games. I own 12 UMD's and many of those games, the Isos exist for im sure. I believe in supporting devs when they make a good game. Downgrading to a 1.5 for Piracy is an insult to its capability and potential.

I see where you're coming from with that, but also, he's probably just a kid who has a job that doesn't pay very much. The store he'd buy the game from already paid the developers for it, so they're not the ones suffering, the store is. As I was saying, he probably can't afford to spend that kind of money to buy a game, so why not download it? Again, I see where you're coming from, but one person really doesn't make a difference.
