NEOGEO CD v0.01 Emu for PSP

[quzar]

i still think it violates the code's license.

where do i get the bios from? and what is it?

[Darksaviour69]

don't ask for the bios, its against the rules

i still think it violates the code's license.

why?

[quzar]

original authors license says it cannot be distributed on the same media as the games. I take that as meaning you must have it read original discs. It can easily be interpreted as meaning 'dont give this with roms' but to me it seems that would be redundant to say. We already know it is illegal to distrubte it with roms, and anyone doing so would be violating laws above whatever the license says.

I think i may give a better explaination in the quake/neogeo thread.

[Darksaviour69]

mmm, i c. and of course the psp can't read the original cds.... did anyone contact the original authors?

[shizzle]

yes, wink, i think i better go out and by some legal neogeo cds on ebay wink. I am so happy i think i'll wait to by the legal version wink.




Tehehehe

While I think quzar is totally correct, I dont think SNK is going to give half a rats ass. It really is the priciple of the thing though but then again, making legal backups would violate this, as its not on the media that it actually came on. Am I not correct?

the idea of 'legal backups' as defined by the DMCA is only archival backups. You can create them on whatever format you want, but they are not to be used unless the original media because unplayable.

the question here isnt the legality (although its iffy) of copying the files off your own CD and using them. Its wether or not the original author was trying to prohibit that.

god it's like what the other guy said, this is like a house full of puritains, even though i obtain my games legally Wink.

Anyway can someone tell me how this thing works.

[quzar]

Thing is I don't care how you get the games or how you use them. I AM NOT talking about warez. I'm talking about respecting the emulator author's wishes. If I were worried about warez then I would sit around yelling at everyone doing cartidge console emulation (including myself?).
