Posted by Samface on 27-Apr-2002 18:46 GMT | In reply to Comment 442 (Frodon): >Sorry but Yes BIOS/ROM dumping, copying..etc is illegal, but reading a ROM

It doesn't matter! An emulator MUST NOT REQUIRE IT'S USE IN ORDER TO FUNCTION.
>About the Connectix case, I don't know what disturb you in what I said. I just >said that Connectix PSX emulator is Connectix Virtual Game Station and not >Bleem! just visit the Connectix homepage ;) I know it because i've used this >emulator on my Mac ;) And I also said that I DON'T KNOW if it use the BIOS/ROM >or not. That's only mean that I DON'T KNOW!! Do you understand?
Please read up about Bleem! You see, Bleem! doesn't exist anymore because Sony (after loosing twice in court when trying to stop their product) purchased the entire company and nowadays they make more Sony friendly products.
>So here a uncontestable conclusion: MorphOS on current Amigas is legal because
>he just read the BIOS/ROMs chip DIRECTLY because it runs on the hardware
>DIRECTLY it don't need to do any dumping or other illegal stuffs.
Still, it uses the AmigaROM for emulating the Amiga in order to run AmigaOS.
>And don't try to argue anymore, you are simply wrong saying MorphOS is illegal
>because he use the BIOS/ROMs because it's legal that a software running on an
>hardware read the ROM chips of THIS hardware. So now stop saying wrong things.
>Thanks in advance.
I'll keep saying this until you have solid proof against me. Simply saying "you are wrong and I am right" won't cut it, ok? |
