the main diffrence between roms and isos

.... depending where you live, in the rep of Ireland it is not legal to back up any of you stuff, including music, e.g. mp3 are techincally illegal... not that the Gardai care or would arrest anyone over it.. its just a loop hole in the law

I never knew that, thats a very strange law. That means its illegal to copy music from a CD onto your PSP.

At least its not enforced though or else the south of ireland would have some major issues on the entertainment side of things lol.

they might have changed the law now, i just remember reading about it in the paper about hoiw U2 want you to break the law, (they were in the ipod adds)

Ok, first Of All, If You Dont Own The Actuall game, ISOs AND ROMS Are Illegal. If You Back Up You Legit Games and Don't Distribute The ROMS/ISOs It Is LEGAL. You Just Cant Sell/Redistribute. Just Like Music, You Can Buy CDs, But You Cant Sell Them Back Out As MP3's.

If you own the actually game and are not selling copies of it you can do what ever you want with them. You are telling me that i cant use mi MVS cartridge of metal slug as a ROM. If it gets mest up i loose 1000 usd. You heard right 1000 usd. Thats how much it is worth and I'm not going to risk loosing it and SNK & NEOGEO will not replace it right. Its mine so i can do what ever i want with it.

O by the way nice touch trying to make me look bad by opening this thread with quoting me. Be original next time.

i did not try to make you look bad. im serious. you alwase help me. im sorry if it sounded like that. also i was just trying to find an example

for the guy who said they meant back ups of your game not any game that you also happen to own id say technically how can u destinguish when every game is the same. they are all copies of the original copy.

i think this bull$#@! all boils down to the eternal practice vs. principal battle. sure you can direct people towards google because then u can blame google. sure u can claim its justified since u own the game but most will not. ive been burned, churned, and screwed by sega but i still am and always will be opposed to all this rom/iso freedom movement. and u call a SNES game on a disk a true SNES game? you make me sick. when you find a way to hook an snes game into the serial port maybe ill recognize it but these games were never meant for a cd format. reminds me of this chinese bitch at the flea market and her Hong Kong goodies, ya kno what i mean..
