when was the last time you saw a legit Nintendo 64 with an Expansion Pack to play LoZ:MM, emulators are ok if the system is old as hell (like a NES) but if your emulating current market games just to avoid paying full price, your a cheat and should jump off a bridge into a tub of Ice-cream, if you don't want to pay full price, go to ebay or the like, look for a seller who selling original copies and buy from them, games are cheaper if you cut the retailer (reason why i want to set up a system when i get into industry where all games designed by a company are available to buy online, keeps them cheep and available to the entire world)lacktheknack said:Umm, if emulators are only legal when you own the hardware, then why not skip the middleman and use the hardware?
C.C: how is that a bad thing
Me: have you tried eating your way out of a giant tub of Ice-cream, you'll be bed in a matter of hours as you drown
anyway, anyone who's dumb enough to download the firmware deserves to have brick PS3s, what custom programs apart from emulators could you bloody want on a PS3 (apart from a better net browser) which you can't have on a custom build computer with up to date graphics, sound, ram and an overclocked CPU anyway, not to mention a waste of hdd space, at some time your going to run out of room to install/download/save your games so you'll end up deleting all the crap custom stuff
i'm probably hypocritical as a while back i was looking into how to make NTSC PS2 games work on my PS3 so i could complete my .Hack Collection on my PS3 (since .Hack//G.U was never released outside NTSC Regions, pricks, the anime is no substitute!) but during the search i did look for if the method used original games, not copies so in a sense i was just looking for a way to remove the region encoding put onto PS2 games which did not exist for my PS3 games (got to love my PS3, i can play any PS3 game no matter what region is printed on it)
