I do normally disapprove of piracy, but the sole exception is when it is impossible to play the game otherwise. This normally applies to smaller countries that are less likely to get localisations, but in this case (as you know) the US failed to get the game. In the end, I decided to simply get the game and subsequently buy the official translation when it is eventually released.
Ok I forgot to quote that post, but my logic is even stricter.
I will ONLY download a ROM after the following 2 conditions are met:
- I beat the game AT LEAST ONCE
- I wish to use the ROM in a way that makes it ONLY possible to use it with such ROM. This imply that on console, it would AT LEAST be hard to do than having the ROM on my pc.
Like, the main reasons is ethic, it';s already illegal no matter what that I do this, I rather make it the least bad.
But the reason for the first condition is simply because it kinda breaks what I want. What I want when truly playing a game is to have the original console feel. The VC emu at least replicate it mostly and you actually get it legally so this one is fine. Getting an emu working on a pc however, that for me doesn't do it.
You could consider it is ethic because to me, it;s bad that I get it illegally, it's even worse if I am not getting the way it's meant to be played.
But still, the reason that I still download ROM is just because I have no choice for what i want to do. You are seriously limited if you glitch hunt TTYD on console.....use dolphin + CE, 100x times better. You would have a hard time ripping music with softmod wii and gc while you have the files right away with ROM. Same for graphics, you would with wii softmod need to dump a rom anyway and it doesn;t even solve the console game that I don;t own like snes and playing the French translation just curious (I beat it before on VC though).
So, to me, give me the real game on VC THEN I'll be fine using it on emu IF I have to.
I dunno what that would be.
And I have a lot more stages where that came from. (Over 100)
Like this one:
This one is a work-in-progress, this is the prototype.
For now, I'm calling it, "Diving Board Decline"
And this one:
Is just a platform.
I call it, "Platform."
Some Shakespearean genius right there, I know, you don't have to tell me.
Can you make flipside because it;s simple to do?
