We all know that Nintendo have made all the well deserved money they could possibly hope for from the now obsolete N64 (utmost respect to the machine).

So should I feel guilty about downloading an N64 emulator and some ROMS (most of which I have anyway)?

actually its the nice folk who made the rom who translates it. But thats great, i can now play secerts of mana 2 (or 3 depending the verson). Which is also great.

I like the gens emulator, no hassle, damn good to play.

It depends,A) i could say it was for back up purposes. Also i could say, b) i'm playing this rom for demo purposes. If i like it i'll go down to the arcade, forkout a hundred pounds and play it (Not often that happens).

the best emulator I've come across is called 1964, and second best is nemu 64, do a google search.

As for ROMS, - well there are some rules to abide b,y failing this they is classed as illegal downloads;

a)- You must only download ROMS in cases where you own the original software.
b)- If you DO NOT own the original software, you may download it, but you MUST delete it within 24 hours...

Giving out download site addresses on forums is generally frowned upon, I would feel guilty and SR would have every right to ban me :-O

But here's a little hint...

Think "bittorrent" :P

Anytime you feel guilty about getting anything for free off Nintendo instead of paying for their products, just remember the long years of overpriced gameboy products and feel all the guilt just wash away :-D
