This site doesn't allow them because they can only be created using leaked sony tools.

Gameboots (which are .pmf files) are legal if "ripped out" of a PSP game. (If you don't know how to do that, sorry but the site rules will not allow me to discuss that here ) Any "homemade" gameboots are techniquley illegal, b/c the only way to produce one is with the Infamous leaked UMD Tools. (Leaked from SONY). Although, I really wish this site would change it's rule on the "no custom gameboot" thing. What really is the big deal anyway? It's not legal to host the bios to an emu, so this site hosts them without them. Therefore making everything "legal". So why, if this site don't host the leaked UMD Tools (which it doesn't) why can't we post gameboots that were found around the net, and then integrated into themes? (MODS - can I get an answer to this plz?) Obviously there would have to be a No umd tool discussion rule. Becuase we couldn't actually promote the use of stolen tools. Hell, you guys lightened up on the DevHook thing. A DevHook Mod was on the front page of the news page yesterday. I've been thinking about posting something like this for awhile now. I think it's time DCemu made a policy change on custom gameboots.

i agree w/ shizzy....as long as the leaked sdk doesnt get released here, ppl should be able to share ther work...

but it encourages using the leaked tools and that is illegal...
to be honest, i do question the legality of using ripped gameboots....

Not if it were just used for themes, and not threads show casing ppl's Custom gameboot collections they made. I said in my earlier post, we would use custom gameboots "we found surfing the net". SONY obviously does not give a crap about the fact ppl are using 2.5 second, low quality,video clips for there PSP's to use on bootup. lol. I think they have bigger fish to fry.


EDIT: Oh, btw "ripped gameboots" are 100% legal bro.

I dont see how ripped gameboots are any more legal than ones created with pirated software. It's either not ok to pirate, or it is. There is no "grey area"
