I totally need to get my own place for this exact reason.

Rationalize it any way you want. What you're doing is still illegal, and you totally miss out on that warm fuzzy feeling of playing the authentic cart, whether the hardware is authentic or not.

Try before you buy. I'll be the first to admit I have bought many homebrews only because a ROM was released. For example, Drag00n of NintendoAge recently released his Fix-It-Felix Genesis homebrew. I downloaded it, played the first level, and immediately requested a physical copy from him. I may not have nibbled if I hadn't tested the gameplay first. Also oftentimes I'll see an interesting looking game cart at a used game store, I'll drive home, download ROM and/or watch youtube review, and if it's good, drive back to game shop and pray the game is still there.

If you're picky enough, even original hardware can be inaccurate. HD Graphics, late release model 1 Genesis/MD, and a variety of Model 2s/3s don't even sound alike, and certain late models (Mejesco Model 2s for instance) have incompatabilities with 32x, CD, GG, Power Base converter, etc... So if official hardware at times can't get it correct, do you really expect clones/emu to do so? I'll admit modern emulators oftentimes get it better than clones, but nothing is absolutely perfect, not even original hardware. For instance, you get crashes or blinky screens or corrupted graphics on NES. You get distorted audio on certain Genesis revisions. Atari looks like vomit on modern HDTV. Do you really expect emulators to duplicate this and other inconsistensies?

Do it!
Mr Stardust4Ever, do you realize that most of the games available on VC are just the same common posterboys, (do you see games like Time Zone, Parrallel World (NOT THE ZELDA LttP HACK), Sweet Home, Clock Tower, Little Nemo, Kickmaster, Vice project of Doom, Cursaders of Centy, and a gigantic etc?) and thera a shitloads of obscure good titles that might not have been ever heard of if it wasnt for emulation and ROMS, and THAT GOES ALSO, for games that got legal releases but faded into obscurity due to poor sales like Shantae?

just look at the current library of Wii U eShop, is piss poor.

They dont step out of the comfort zone bubble of lazyness.

EMulation and Roms are the only way to go, and for people who want to obtain these games legally, guess what? there's a problem now, The speculator epidemic over flea markets, resellers and fricking Ebay (Ebay is just good now to get a few select japanese games on bids nowadays, thanks to the morons who turn the VINTAGE RARE tricks into a frickin fetish).

Downloading a ROM of an obscure game from a company that might not even exist anymore and the game data might have as well been lost forever in limbo like Parralle World is Illegal?

but doing crap like this is OK to you?


























(look particulary at this one, see something odd here?)

All am i saying is, chillax on the black and white mentality dude.
