...ISO questions...

[Kaiser]

It's more likely the other way around. Sonic Crackers later became Knuckles' Ring Star, and development was switched over to the 32X. We don't exactly know what team made Chaotix or Crackers, as Yuji Naka keeps that information classified in all interviews asking.

I personally think it is somehow connected to the MARS color format which Sega stole from Nintendo's SNES (RGB 555, intel format). Although without a BIOS source code or SNES dev kit, this can't be proven at a technical level. We do, however, have a 32X SDK. =P But that issue of color formats on non-native hardware is off-topic. ISOs = bad.

Yeah I should have said "shares" rather then "taken" (We still don't know for sure what came first, even though most assume Chaotix came after). But I doubt anyone at dcemu would know any better (cept for a techie Heran_Bago). However on SWS2B I'd probably get publicly castrated for such a comment. I've been absent from the sonic hacking scene way to long. Again off topic. We can continue that discussion through PM's. Thats the last Sonic post I promise.

I find this whole discussion quite amusing. We’re discussing the legal and moral aspects of ISO ripping on the PSP Development & Hacking Forum. In my understanding, the PSP is a closed system and any non-licensed (homebrew) development for the PSP would be illegal. Companies have the right to say how you may or may not use their product and I’m guessing that hacking firmware falls under the “may not” category. Technically speaking, this entire forum is dedicated to discussing things that aren’t legal. I could be wrong on this issue but I’m guessing that this is why Sony spends so much time and effort trying to stamp out the whole homebrew scene for the PSP. I’m not sure why. This is the same company that sold the “Black Playstation” to the same people that are now hacking the living daylights out of the PSP. Oh, what ironies.

I'm a good person (I am pro population control) Less people means less worries and less worries means less complaining meaning less stupid people, in hand there would be less Piraters, hackers, and a better world

I MEAN ITS ESPECIALLY HELPFULL SINCE WE DONT ALLOW FOR ROM LINKS TO BE POSTED ON THIS SITE PERIOD. No 1 else has pointed that out to us yet. U R super smart! thank u so much for your valuable input and u'r fine missusage of letters! we love it when people do that! it makes u look sooooooo smart! omg I want to join your fan club! let me join your fan club and then we can continue to repeat the same things over and over again together! omg u r so great! thank u again for that. now my day is soooooo much brighter! hugs and kisses all around! [/sarcastic]

no we dont allow any sort of "pirecy". Nothing is illegal about hosting emulators on a site.. they are totally legal programs. Any attempts to post links to commerical roms or iso's will get the poster of that thread in a hella alot of trouble. mmmkay? mmmkay. Now lets not repeat this stupid idea again.

THANK U! HAVE A G0OD D4Y!

Well as stated in other threads

Roms- Though we won't discuss it, pretty much everyone here downloads roms. I'm not talking about freeware ones. The legality is solid. We are all breaking the law. But this is our own problem and as long as we don't discuss them we are all fine at dcemu. Dcemu's policy about this is everyone does it, just don't discuss it. I mean its easy to justify old NES or Genesis roms because it is hard to find a working cartridge of games such as Sonic The Hedgehog or The Legend of Zelda. That is an unspoken agreement within the dcemu community. Its okay just don't talk about it here.

ISOs- ISO's and in fact any discussion of attaining these files is banned completely. It has no unspoken agreement on dcemu. Simply put, whether attaining these ISOs through legal means or otherwise discussion is not allowed. The discussion of ISO's for any system that is currently being supported (e.g; PSP, PS2 and/or Xbox) is not only banned but discouraged. Meaning not only can you not talk about it but you are encouraged not to do it!

What it comes down to
-Downlaoding Old Roms do not harm current systems or companies
-Downloading ISO's for current systems will harm that console
