Okay I can understand I'm in that case not gonna get much help here. But I just want to clear something as well here which is confusing me now. I was on the website (or a few of them) where these emulators and roms can be downloaded and I read what they said as far as legal or not legal is concerned. They said you may use these roms (obviously not commercially) as long as you own the original cartridge as well... well I still have all my old NES games for instance but I stumbled upon the roms on the web when I was searching and hoping to find PC versions of those games. Pity I didn't actually find PC versions though. Anyway I also noticed on the site that Nintendo, Sega, Neo Geo etc etc doesn't even have much of a problem with their games being available on the web as emulations. Note this is an ASSUMPTION I'm making due to the fact that I saw the update log/history of the site. I saw that there was for instance 5 games removed from their site as per request from one of these console companies, and almost never again. Judging by THAT I know that these companies are aware of these ROMs being freely available for download and it doesn't bother them too much it seems except when they decide they do have a problem with one of their games being freely available on a site.

I do hope you understand what I'm trying to point out here.

And also my sincere apologies for the "agains the TOS of the site" thing.

The honesty from you all is appreciated though. Thank you.

And if it matters much, I think I'm staying on anyway. All of you were very quick with replies and I think wheneverI need gaming help this is the place.

Kind regards
