Guest Machinly Posted April 18, 2003 Report Posted April 18, 2003 Well sort of. If u have GnuBoy on ur Smartphone then download O'leary's Manager 2000 for game boy colour and it is almost as good. Plus u can play the matches yourself if you want and it shows u replays of ur goals using the ingame engine if u are simply manager of the team. Of course u must own the actual cartrige if u want to play, or erase the rom the next day.
Guest MoRFLeZ Posted April 18, 2003 Report Posted April 18, 2003 ...Of course u must own the actual cartrige if u want to play, or erase the rom the next day... There is no 24-hour rule. You aren't allowed to have roms on your computer, even tho you intend to delete them within 24 hours. It's a silly lil rule that emulator sites have set up .. in order not to get lawsuits on them *nod self*! Actually, in most countries, it's also illegal to make a rom of a cartridge that you yourself own. Nintendo made a clausule to make it illegal to copy your games... But who cares... retrogaming doesn't really make money for Nintendo anymore... so Champ Manager sounds nice to me!
Guest spacemonkey Posted April 19, 2003 Report Posted April 19, 2003 Yep, the "delete within 24hr" thing is totally an invention of pirate sites to try and legitimise themselves... it has no legal standing what-so-ever. As to not being allowed to copy a game you own yourself to your computer, Nintendo (and a lot of others, such as the movie industry for DVDs) try to put the rules into the license agreements etc. However fair use laws in almost all countries have always allowed you to do this. Now-a-days the main problem country for this is the USA. Over there, it's not that you legally can't copy the game, it's that if they've put some sort of copy protection on it (no matter how trivial the protection) then you run afoul of the DMCA for "cracking" their copyright protection, even though you have fair use rights to copy the media. All good stuff... at the end of the day, if you're not in the US and you own the cartridge your pretty safe, and even in the US I think you're unlikely to get in trouble unless you are selling or promoting the technology to copy them.
Guest midnight Posted April 19, 2003 Report Posted April 19, 2003 spacemonkey, ah, that isnt completely true, its perfectly legal to own the means of copying anything, however, it is illegal to use it for illegal reasons :wink: daft law i know, but its true (kind of like... its legal to own a crowbar, but its illegal to use that crowbar to break into a house hehe, or somethin) also, in many countries it is perfectly legal to back-engineer software/hardware (just not in the UK or US)
Guest arunhallan Posted April 19, 2003 Report Posted April 19, 2003 anyway the games ten times worse than champ man
Guest spacemonkey Posted April 19, 2003 Report Posted April 19, 2003 kind of like... its legal to own a crowbar, but its illegal to use that crowbar to break into a house hehe, or somethin Yep, but now with the DMCA in the states, it becomes, it's legal to own a crowbar for breaking concrete (maybe) but if you owned a crowbar and information about how to break padlocks open, well that would be illegal.
