JJXB | the bios is what contains the relevant info to boot up the console (and is coded by the people who made the console e.g the psx bios was done by sony and is copyrighted by them as a result meaning you can't download it) some bioses are downloadable legally (e.g the commodore 64 bios since it's not in use and commodore don't exist now but the amiga bios is being used by another company who bought the rights to the bios and amiga os which means you can't legally download that) but more often than not, it isn't legal to download a console bios. | |||

And I agree that re-releasing some of their titles would always be welcome. |

(Sorry for the spam if there's a way to update an old post...) Also, I know emulation is not legal, but if a company owns the rights to PC version of something, do they also hold the rights to consoles, or does it depend? Sorry, this should have come before my last post. I understand the copyrighting, I'm just asking, is it possible to petition the company or something? Take Daggerfall for instance, *yes I know they released Arena* why not release it w/ Arena for around $20 or so? They did it with Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition, and I know people crying all the time for Daggerfall on the 'net. *offer taken back - I know nothing...* |

How does one go about changing the law? How many great games are only 10 years old or so, somebody who owns the rights to it doesn't care about it anymore, but the copyright is there, so noone can get to it? It isn't sold or available at all! I could name a few games like this... Also, I know of a place that has Syndicate on emulation for a console, so if you wanted that maybe contact me, but I'm not posting about it. Thanks! btw - velik, where is that "always to the east" quote from? It's familiar. Diablo 2 perhaps? |

The 2007(?) date is a result of a deal between ESA and Abandonia - provided that a member of ESA in question doesn't object, a game of ESA member can be added on Abandonia, if it's older than 15 years (for more info see horseman's links). If Abandonia would to break its part of the deal, ESA would stop tolerating this site (which is illegal) and would shut it down. |
