ZSNES and ZBattle

[Sliver]

Zsnes is a SNES emulator, and version 1.42 allows netplay. Zbattle is a lobby type thing for it. We could arrange to player games here. You need to be sure to have 1.42, versions above don't support netplay. Name the game you'll play against someone, and version (U), (J) (!), etc.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I wasn't sure if it was in here or games forum.

Pretty sure this kinda talk is illegal round these parts

If you own the games I'm pretty sure it's legal.

 

[Sliver]

It's legal if you own the games, which I do

 

[Evo]

But it is still a very murky legal area :|

 

[ríomhaire]

IIRC, emulators are perfectly legal while ROMs, depending on what country you live in are either A, legal if you own the game or, B, entirly illegal.

 

[Lucid]

How would they even know if you own the game?

 

[OmegaX]

Plus the games are like 15 years old, I don't think game companies are too worried about losing sales to SNES emulation.

tetris attack anybody?

 

[i am HOLLYWOOD]

what are the laws for it in good 'ol US of A?

 

[Darkangel]

according to the nintendo website it's illegal unless you rip the rom yourself creating a backup copy

 

[Sliver]

Legal in the US. I'll have a go with someone at Zombies Ate My neighbors.
