Thats true...You can have them for 24h, but after that period you have to delete them!

If you have insufficient memory - free some by moving some apps to a memorycard - or your computer - or do a backup!

You can use your emu on a 300Mhz!
You will get a better resault on a 400, but a 300 will do just fine!

What console are you trying ROMs for? If it is SNES or GBA, you need a pretty good amount of memory. With GBC or NES, you don't need a whole lot. Have you tried going to Settings------->Memory and slide the bar so that you have more program memory than storage memory?

Actually, as far as I know, that 24 Hours thing is FAKE!!! Roms are illegal from the minute you download them (Even if you own the game), unless you get them off of your own cartridge. I will not discuss how to do this.

Cant we just leave it to that he has roms and wants to know if he can use morphgear? Come on i see you guys talking about playing NES all the time, i suppose you got those roms off all your cartridges right?

Oh well. Sorry i dont know an answer for you, other then what others said, free up as much mem as you can by putting things on a sd card, it should work, just slower

There has been absolutely no precedent set on whether or not downloading roms is legal. Furthermore, you are supposed to be able to make a copy of any form of media for backup purposes. Certainly, it seems ridiculous either way to claim that downloading a ROM of a fifteen year old game (say, NES) is in anyway having a negative repercussion on Nintendo today.

So enough of the morally superior act, people. Decide for yourself whether or not you think it is okay to download a rom of a game you own, or have bought in the past.

You can run the Axim Basic on 400MHz using TurboTray or Xscale Control.

I also agree with DrCrypt concerning the ROM download issue, especially the older GB and NES ones since they are classified under the "absolete-ware" category.

so you're saying if something is obsolete, it's ok to steal it? it's still intellectual property...

vdubjim · 07-06-03, 10:00 AM

its not stealing IF:

1. You own the original game
2. The owners have released them for the public
3. The owners dont care anymore because they cant possibly make $$ off them anymore. :)
