Neat, I'm sure a lot of really meaningful discussion about ZSNES will occur there. Such as what people use ZSNES for in Soviet Russia, how to make a profit from ZSNES, and how Netcraft confirms: ZSNES is dying. I can't wait.
Congratulations on 1.40 by the way, it looks and feels a lot more solid than the last public release, IMO.

What aspect of ZSNES is illegal?Dolphin wrote:How is Zsnes legal? I thaught it's illigal.
Just copying a ROM from a friend, or for a friend is illegal.Dolphin wrote: And what about snes rom distribution, is that legal?
However copying from your own cartridge, or using a system such as Console Classix is perfectly legal.

Yes.

Honestly, Zsnes has existed for a LONG time, and its pretty famous, if Nintendo planned to sue the zsnes team, they would had already.

Nintendo's site there unforunetly doesn't portray the real legalties of the situation in the US or any other country. See the legal documents on Console Classix for more info.

Just wondering, what about creating our own ROM images(like programming our own game for Snes or whatever) would that be legal or illigal. I emailed Nintendo if I could get some tools or info on programming a ROM image for snes. They replied back and said that it is illigal to do this. And gave me a link I already posted above.

It is perfectly legal to write your own personal SNES compatible software to run in an emulator or flash cart or copier.
There are a lot of these ROMs labled as Public Domain going around online and are legal to download.

But what I guess it's illegal is to go asking for tools and stuff to do it. Do your research.Nach wrote:It is perfectly legal to write your own personal SNES compatible software to run in an emulator or flash cart or copier.

unless CC offers you the chance to own the orginal cart, its really not that legal.(b) Lease, Sale, or Other Transfer of Additional Copy or Adaptation.
