Can I ask a stupid question?

He hasn't broke any rules. He's kept this conversation quite civil. Some of you guys need to chill and not freak out when ever time the word "ISO" is mentioned. My previous post was simply a reply to yaustar's comment.

Back on Topic

I've not seen many PSP users who state "They'll never get GTA" because if there ever was a must have PSP game, GTA would be it. I do agree with carpy that GTA should be in the collection of every PSP user (especially since it first opened the doors of homebrew to many users). GTA works fine on any firmware with the proper homebrew apps.

[b8a]

Yeah, I haven't seen that many posts stating this either.

But, I AM one of those users who would be pretty torqued off if I had to buy GTA to use homebrew. Despite it's immense popularity, I think it's a sub par and very unexciting game. It's gotten FAR too much hype, and whenever something with only questionable value gets that much hype, it turns me off all that much more. If it wasn't so popular, I wouldn't care so much, but since it IS so popular and so relatively unexciting, I don't want to touch it with a ten-foot pole. I don't want to be seen buying it, with it, and I don't want to support Rockstar in any way. Especially after that porn "accident". I don't care that they'd put that kind of content in their games, but doing so without giving ANYONE a heads up that it was there, was VERY irrespopnsible and careless. Even if you don't find that tactic personally repulsive, you can't argue that it's brought unnessecarily harsh criticism on the industry. I'll say it one more time: I don't want anything to do with this company.

Besides, used PSP games for $25??? Wow, I always check the used game stores when I'm on the road, and most games are still going between $35-$45 used. Yes, this has been my actual experience. I've made special note of the fact because some times the games are much less new than they are used (Darkstalkers, in particular, is often priced much higher used than it is brand new). If you can find used games for as little as $25 (especially one as popular as GTA), I'd consider you lucky.

I bought GTA off of Half.com for $25. It really wasn't difficult to find.

Sigh*

I'm tired of reposting this or arguing it so I'll just point you guys out to what I told Voltron in the 2.5/2.6 exploit thread.

I would argue that GBA roms fall in the same catagory as PSP games as they are still being developed and sold. However rules are rules and I am not the one that makes them so this will be my last comment on this matter.

On topic, I have actaully stopped using my PSP for homebrew, upgraded it because I have a GP2X and some of the newer PSP games do look promising. Quite frankly I really cannot be bothered with the ongoing firmware issue and eloaders when I have a more accessiable (sp?) handheld for this type of area already.

OK Carpy rfirst thing are you aware that neogeo cd is in iso format also.
Second are you aweare that the law is the same no mather what the format of the game is.
Third if you say you use roms you are the hipocrite we all use rom and the penalty by law for using a copyright material is the same for every game ancient , old or new as mi friend who is a lawyer say
If its your first offence 10,000 usd fine and serious trouble, Second ofence up to 200,000 usd and jail.

So i admit it i have over a 1000 roms on mi psp. But i am one who owns every system excluding arcade and computer evermade.
So yes im aloud in a twsted way to use roms but dont come here acusing people if you dont really know.
It sounds to me like you wish you had a 1.50 to actualy do so.

For you carpy its called research

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-only_memory

Copyright is a set of exclusive rights granted by governments to regulate the use of a particular expression of an idea or information. At its most general, it is literally "the right to copy" an original creation. In most cases, these rights are of limited duration. The symbol for copyright is ©, and in some jurisdictions may alternately be written (c).

Copyright may subsist in a wide range of creative, intellectual, or artistic forms or "works". These include poems, theses, plays, and other literary works, movies, choreographic works (dances, ballets, etc.), musical compositions, audio recordings, paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, software, radio and television broadcasts of live and other performances, and, in some jurisdictions, industrial designs. Copyright is a type of intellectual property; designs or industrial designs may be a separate or overlapping form of intellectual property in some jurisdictions.

Copyright law covers only the particular form or manner in which ideas or information have been manifested, the "form of material expression". It is not designed or intended to cover the actual idea, concepts, facts, styles, or techniques which may be embodied in or represented by the copyright work. Copyright law provides scope for satirical or interpretive works which themselves may be copyrighted. See idea-expression divide.

For example, the copyright which subsists in relation to a Mickey Mouse cartoon prohibits unauthorized parties from distributing copies of the cartoon or creating derivative works which copy or mimic Disney's particular anthropomorphic mouse, but does not prohibit the creation of artistic works about anthropomorphic mice in general, so long as they are sufficiently different to not be imitative of the original. Other laws may impose legal restrictions on reproduction or use where copyright does not - such as trademarks and patents.

No you are not. Unless you own all the games you have 'rom copies' of and also create the rom yourself, it is illegal (depending on the country you live in) to be in possession of that rom.

You really need to learn how to read.

All I asked was why people were so "against" buying GTA to make homebrews work.

If I remember correctly, you're the EXACT idiot I read here bragging "I'll never buy GTA". Funny how I didn't mention you or address you, yet you came running to this thread to defend yourself.

I don't care how many games or PSP's you have. I'm not here to brag about jack $#@!.

grow up.
