Yeah, but the people making these support playing "backups" as a feature. I'm not going to try to defend them, even though I have a cart of my own, when they know what they're doing is illegal.

Why so late, Big N?


It's time to finish with piracy. Altough it boosts hardware sales (like the PSP case with the Memory Cards), but isn't good for software sales.

The ones who are right don't buy these kind of device, so the problem is with the ones that do buy them and download illegal games. To ban those sites and to finish the sales of this kind of device are the only solutions.

Don't matter if you bought it only for homebrews - it's the same of saying that you are going to China next august for work, when everybody does know that the main purpose is the olympics period.

the legality of rom backups is debatable however in practice people are never charged with copyright violation for backups.
