Well, you can read even c64 cassettes on pc and they will work perfectly on emulators. Same goes with old original CDs and DVDs. I don't think thats piracy or is it? :)

I see. Only 100$ for that! I bet every pc owner is getting that.

Anyway, if you are going to play original cd:s and dvd:s I think you will need a (PS1/PS2/whatever) bios to play those games. Those are illegal as far as I know.

$100? I am quite sure that there are cheaper alternatives. However possibility vs no possibility... You lose. :P

If you want to play by the rules, you can always rip bios from those machines and give it to the emulator and that way it won't be illegal.

Are you shitting me? That was pro's on 300% speed? Poor guy couldn't even keep his reticule on people. God forbid they played a REAL shooter game. My clan used to play UT2004 on Insta-gib Turbo. Basically, you are allowed to use only spartan lasers and you move about 400-500% of Halo's speed, with double jumps which do not feel like anti-grav is on. I'll try to find you a video.

@ameratsu

Man youa re doign it wrong! Just dash at everyone with the dragon totoh energy sword thingamajig and whack them until desired results happen. Or snipe the peeps, or shoot them, or.... it's a game of many choices, you get the point.

Edit: Ok I couldnt find an instagib turbo but i found a random, but well done, compilation by a single guy. I don't know if he does MLG at all. None of the videos are made faster artificially btw, this is the actual speed. Also notice how he can actually keep his reticule on the peeps and knows how to lead:

Edit2: Forgot about the fact that some parts are actually done in slo-mo.

Edit3: THis movie is good too, though the shock rifle, lighting gun and rocket launcher are used waaaay too much and there is a bunch of slow downs and speed ups:

Actually ripping a bios is illegal too. Of course that depends on where you live but at least here it is illegal. But hey, I will give you C64 jrpg:s. Propably all 0 of them. ;P

I also would like to see how you rip a bios from for example ps2.

Err...

Show me law that prohibits dumping console bios from console you own. :)

And heres for the last part...

...

And there seems to be some open source projects for open source ps2 bioses. However you cannot even play ps2 games on PS3.

Yes you can play ps2 games on ps3. If you happen to have a certain version of ps3.

You live in Finland so...

You should be able to find where it says something about private copies. 12§ if I am not mistaken. In case you have trouble understanding that you can also take a look at here:

Oh sorry, it should be done your way.

Certain version of ps3 != all ps3... Especially when you cant buy those PS3s that have PS2 bc anymore.

Its funny that you chose Finlands law, because thats pretty much most flexible in this matter.

If you read 12§, it says that in case of computer programs theres some special laws(25§) Lets see what those say,

"Joka on laillisesti hankkinut tietokoneohjelman, saa valmistaa ohjelmasta sellaiset kappaleet ja tehdä ohjelmaan sellaisia muutoksia, jotka ovat tarpeen ohjelman käyttämiseksi aiottuun tarkoitukseen. Tämä koskee myös virheiden korjaamista.

Se, jolla on oikeus käyttää tietokoneohjelmaa, saa valmistaa ohjelmasta varmuuskappaleen, jos se on tarpeen ohjelman käytön kannalta."

Basically, if you have bought computer program(like bios) you may do whatever you want to do it(even change code), if its still does the thing it was ment to do. You also may copy it, if it is needed to make it work(thats dumping).

"Sopimuksen ehto, jolla rajoitetaan 2–4 momentin mukaista käyttöä, on tehoton."

You cannot even restrict copying in eula or any other agreement, because that would be invalid.

jkorpelas text is about copying copies that you don't own.

I choose the finnish law because your profile says that you live in Finland.

But what you said there is not a case of intended use. That program (BIOS) was meant to be used with the console in question. The interesting part about that is how you interpret "to make it work". If you have a working console, you don't need to make a copy to make it work. ;) I don't like that kind of laws at all, but still it is the law.

The only part you are spot on is the EULA. If it conflicts with your local law then it is invalid.

The jkorpela site is not about copying stuff that you own, it is about your right to copy stuff to your personal use. It does not matter if you own it or rent it.

Well, in emulator it does exactly the same thing it does in console. Only thing that changes is hardware. And if you may not do that, running for example windows on mac would be illegal. Same goes with windows programs that you run on OS X. :)

Heres jkorpelas text about copying programs that you do own,

http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/tekoik/3.1.html

"Oikeus tehdä varmuuskopio, lakikielellä "varmuuskappale", perustuu suoraan lakiin, ja säädös on 25j §:n 5. momentin mukaan pakottava, eli tätä oikeutta rajoittava sopimusehto on tehoton."

You may copy it for private use and you cannot restrict it anyway with any agreements.
