Soooo is this a good thing or a bad thing?


Obviously a device that promotes theft of intellectual properties is not a good thing.

Unless you are a worthless, entitled c*nt thief that is, then it is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

"U"DE or ODE devices are for one thing only; to "pretend" to act as an optical drive so you can play games that you do not own through digital or backup disc format.

If you want a "backup" of your game, go buy another copy and put it away somewhere, sealed, in a RubberMaid bin.

"...bu...bu...bu...but I already paid for it once, why should I have to buy it again?"

So just because you bought a f'ng Big Mac one time, that means you get free Big Macs for the rest of your life?

So just because you bought a f'ng 2014 Dodge Charger, that means you get free f'ng Dodge Chargers for the rest of your life?

Yes, believe it or not, it is technically the same thing and there is no justification to getting something for free unless the company who originally sold the product wants you to have unlimited copies for free. If your copy breaks and there is a warranty, call in the warranty or purchase an extra one at a store like Wal-mart for a few dollars more upon your original purchase.

It all comes down to archival laws in your country and whatever the copyright allows from the company who distributed the media.

Nintendo, by copyright, does not allow "archival" copies of their intellectual property. Period.

 

Eh, if I bought the game already and getting a rom is legal if you have, I'm really not gonna care at all if someone doesnt like what I'm doing, whether or not the use insults or yadda yadda. Not that I do it, since I find it hard to enjoy emulators after getting the real thing anyways.
