Well, Ive emulated all this stuff for years on my laptop connected to my giant tv and been happy. I guess if I intend to play Mike Tyson Punchout, I'll have to pony up the $400. But I think I'll just play it on my top loader instead. Except I hate that game.
Only 1992 cares about prosecuting individuals who use ROMs. And also a handful of people on this site who would march into a boxcar if an authority told them it was the law..
There are plenty of legal ROMs you can play on this you dont have to use illegal ones. Thinking that's all its for is your own false projection. Nothing wrong with showing this device.
But Hang on wasn't the first game to employ that approach. Battle Zone used a periscope, Tron had a walk in dome thing, And I remember a vector space game where you sat in the cockpit to name a few. There were also a lot of rifle/gun games before this in arcades. Hang on might have been the first motorcycle game with a vibrating moving motorcycle I guess.
Do you measure the audible level at the party? Do you make sure nobody shooting pool at the bar makes an illegal wager? Do you report when an elevator has exceeded the occupancy level? Do you have a fit when the neighbor shoots off a firework? This rom stuff is just about on the same level. It isnt worth making a big deal about.
I dont condone it or not I just hate the argument that a thing is bad to do strictly because someone else made it illegal and that's why end of story. Always follow rules because rules.

No, you see Burpee makes money off of selling seeds. My friend bought the seeds and grew a tomato. He made a clone (exact copy of the original) and gave it to me. I will make clones forever and never have to buy another tomato from the store again. Burpee never saw my money. Grocery store never saw my money. Is that evil or immoral what I'm doing? Im guessing it's only bad if someone makes a rule saying I can't do it first right?
@Rutana
If I grow tomatoes in my garden am I cheating the grocery store out of profit? Is it better for you to know that someone made money off of my tomato eating?
You better keep following those rules buddy. Don't you ever break a rule. Ever! I mean rules are rules and must be obeyed. If someone makes a rule you better follow it man cause obedience is what a rule is all about.
Klashball is an awesome underappreciated 2 player NES game. After a game ended It would show( ex: if player 2 lost ) it flashed player 2 LOSER, LOSER, LOSER. so the winner would repeat LOSER, LOSER, LOSER, over and over to the loser. It caused many rages and a fistfight once.

Re: Flash Carts Could Be Slowly Killing Your Retro Consoles
The last 3 comments are awesome.
Why are these people even reading an article about flashcarts if they are so against it?
