the main diffrence between roms and isos

[andrew24]

What people on ebay are selling its illegal ISO files. I just checked and theres a bunch of a holes doing it. Hope Sony rips there balls out. I really don't care what people play but when they try to profit thats not right.

hey ive heard all this crap about isos but its time to get a few things strait.

1. isos are illegaly downloaded games right?
2. roms are the same freaken thing.
3. but u people insist that roms are accually good.

but the fact is that roms are illegaly downloaded games to. but no that doesent matter because u use roms for the eloader.

THERE IS NO DIFFRENCE!

No i dont use iso's. accually i think that it should all be stoped.

Also i have nothing against acid burn.

this site, and most of its members dont condone piracy of any kind.
there is no advocation of "Roms" in particular to ISOs. though the site is more strict against piracy of the supported console(the same applys to all of the DCEMU network)

Yeah i feel the same when scumbags at my job take credit for the work i've done. I want to beat the hell out of them.
And without me they would have nothing to take the credit for.
Then, of course, they get the promotion.
I really hate opportunists.

iso are illegal i think roms are too

[Darksaviour69]

iso and are not illegal... the same way a kettle is not illegal, but a stolen kettle is illegal...

iso and roms are the same thing, data files. Roms are cart based systems iso's are discs.

i would be just as pissed of at some selling disc full of roms, which they don't own the copyright too, as much as someone doing the same with iso's

[andrew24]

they are illegal. r u about to go to sony and say. "hey i have an iso". i think they would care

what if it were an ISO of an xbox game.. would they care then O_o

and ISO's and ROM's aren't exactly illegal.. whats illegal is distributing them and downloading them.

but it happens so get over it... it's not like half of you guys can do much about it so why moan?

I don't see how it can affect any of you aswell... unless your a game developer or work for a gaming company... but if that was the case.. why would you be ranting about it on a forum?

isos and roms are both not illegal, so long as you own the game. the iso/rom is then a BACKUP of the game you own. it's the same with CDs, you're supposed to be allowed to burn a backup copy so long as u own it.

[DefaultGen]

ISOs are disc images Roms are images of a cartridge based game.

Either way possession of either is very likely illegal as many games state on their info screen that back ups even for archivical purposes are forbidden.
