Hello!

I am a great fan of Super Smash Bros. and want to see who can get the weirdest and funniest pictures.

And I recommend you to get into it!

I will start:



This one is really funny because I did it accidentally. The wind blew me to the edge and my friend just caught the edge at the same time I paused. And, to make it even funnier, Pikachu`s eyes are closed!



Captain falcon raping Samus...



And here I am about to blow the brains out of Captain Falcon...



So, can`t wait to see your pictures!

Oh, god... I have a few dozen REALLY freaky ones on my SD card at home. I'll see if I can upload them in the next couple days.

@TheComet - Expect a ban if you post a link to the ROM on this site.

This game is copyright by Nintendo and it's illegal to trade the ROM.

My appologies.

It isn`t illegal for me to download it, because I own the nintendo rom. I should have known better.

Actually that's still technically illegal--- look it up! That's like saying you should be able to download Space Invaders on the DS because you own it on the NES But that's neither here nor there. Thanks for cooperating

Really? Well, were I downloaded the rom(not saying where), I read the disclaimer, and it says it`s legal for those that own the rom:

Quote: "You may download a game ROM ONLY if you can do so legally. This means you must own the actual cartridge (or other media the ROM was distributed on) of the ROM you are downloading.
Under the copyright laws of the U.S., you are entitled to own a backup of any software you have paid for. Since ROMS cannot be backed up without expensive machines that not everyone has access to, the ROM images that are linked to here, are provided to the public as a service. Most countries have similar laws but it is your responsibility to know the laws of the country you reside in.

You will NEVER sell these ROMS for profit. Most game companies don't mind the distribution of their game's ROMS because they no longer exist, but they WILL mind if someone sells them. You will NOT distribute ROMS together with emulators as a package. This is VERY important. Packaging a ROM and an emulator together could get the authors of the emulators into trouble, which would result in no updates to the emulators.

You will NEVER hold anyone at This site (including its webmasters and other staff, or anyone else related to this website) or our webhosts responsible for any damage caused to your system, or for any legal actions taken against you for not obeying the above stated rules, or for any other reason. YOU are solely responsible for any and all consequences. This site's sole purpose is to provide a service to those who don't have access to a ROM backup machine (by means of links to ROM sites), but would like to preserve their games."


Anyway, sorry again...

I think there's something wrong with that, you're allowed to have a ROM as a backup but they're certainly not allowed to send it to you because that would be making an unauthorized copy, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to download it. I guess the only way to have it fully legally is to have a ROM backup-magig of your own, but that's not very realistic. I dunno.

Copyright holders need to get with the program. According to the blurb you get with most games, it's illegal to make copies except 1 backup copy - but it's also illegal to sell or lend out your game, which is just stupid IMO. It should be perfectly legal to download a game that is no longer commercially available, or at least has been for a few years. It's even the same with MAME roms, like you can only use a MAME rom if you have the original arcade circuit board!. They need to find a way to sell roms and clear up the legalities surrounding them, it's the only way these games will legally survive for future generations to scoff at.

Actually the only legal way to own a Nintendo ROM is to copy it from the original Cartridge you own, that's what Nintendo have said.

Point with that very few people have such devices capable of doing that. Here's a little known fact, RARE was working on a Nintendo 64 emulator for the Xbox 360... mainly to run it's old titles under Xbox Live Arcade.

Unfortunately the emulator was given the thumbs down by Nintendo, instead forcing everyone involved to come up with a new solution of how to port titles with a minimum of effort without reducing the experience. Ironically what came of it, was a pre-processor that actually allows the games to be recompiled to run natively on the Xbox 360 allowing developers to tweak the pre-processed code for platform specific changes. Works even better imo

I'm hoping other developers contact Rare about it, to get their N64 gems onto XBLA. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing a Playstation and Playstation 2 emulator appear on Xbox Live, after all there is a working prototype for a Playstation one

No, you do that by having "legal" cart transfer hardware. The only legal ones I'm aware of are for N64 dev kits, which I can almost positively say none of us here have

There are so many myths about backups and software ownership. I don't believe it's even legal to technically make a backup of your cartridge, actually.

I also laugh when people say pirating is legal if you delete it within 24 hours-- that was never the case as far as I've found

Anyways, what you do at your home is up to you, I'm not a lawyer. I just wanted to make sure you didn't upload the ROM here and let people download it, because that would make TGC liable!

Ahh.... I remember doing this when we were kids: pausing at random funny moments to see what would happen. Good times, good times. . .

As far as I know, it's only legal to rip the ROM yourself from the cartridge you own. Of course, that's a really stupid law. But, it's the law, nonetheless. :/

Quote: "Actually the only legal way to own a Nintendo ROM is to copy it from the original Cartridge you own, that's what Nintendo have said."


That is true, I believe, but do be careful about what Nintendo has said dealing with piracy. They have lied in some of their announcements before (no joke; I'll find the source in a sec.).

Quote: "I also laugh when people say pirating is legal if you delete it within 24 hours-- that was never the case as far as I've found"


Lol. If only.

EDIT: Found where I heard about Nintendo over-exaggerating. It seems to be a disputed fact.

Thanks for the link, Mahoney, I learned some new words in that paragraph... such as "apocryphal".


Honestly, Nintendo trying to back up their schleal for using emulators is about as fruitless as Americans trying to protect themselves with THEIR laws regarding copyrights from people in other countries that ALLOW them to take your stuff and claim it as their own because nobody over THERE had the copyright...


Pirating is, quite sadly, an easy thing to get away with given the right circumstances... and no one can even stop you.



I say, if I wasn't able to buy the game (hard copy or soft copy), then I SHOULD be allowed to download it. Unfortunately for me, I'm too good of a person to do that, which is why I don't get to play any Japanese-Only releases.


The one and only,

The N64 DD has one too that connects to the PC via a Serial (Null Modem) Cable... in order to connect to modern PCs you need a NullModem - to - USB adapter which are fairly cheap.

Problem realistically is getting your hands on an N64 DD mind, given they were only released in Japan in quite small numbers; also on the rare-side is the N64-CD by Atari, again had the Null Modem Serial connection on the back; but honestly I have no idea if there is legal software to connect it to the PC... there are some homebrew development stuff that allows it though.

Shame Lik-Seng was taken down, as they offered quite a bit of legal transfer hardware... just a shame Nintendo and Sony decided to decend upon them for also providing import games to customers.
