I'd probably be fine as long as they weren't selling the hack, but if they were, I would most likely give a cease and desist, if they refuse, then I'd probably take legal actions. However, if they had completely original code and assets, then I'd be fine if they sold it. I've honestly always hated ...

The question is begged: when is a rom hack ok, and when is it not ok? Does there come a point when you trample the commercial rights of the game designers/publishers in the process of the expansion? Is it OK to sell a rom hack independently of the patched material? And if it is, does this also mean ...

Gee I thought this was a site that was more about tech stuff, where even the general stuff had some merit. Seriously this bullshit belongs at RHDN. This guy isn't going to become anything anyhow (except a preacher or a lawyer (nah)), so why humor him? I think he's trolling.

How is that a ban-able offense? It's the same stuff those idiot pols in Oklahoma and Kansas say, and when people believe it, it causes stigmatism against rape victims. Which I don't think anyone with actual ability to work on an NES or SNES would actually believe it (unless they were indoctrinated ...

There are way better ways of being artistic and parodyish than just making porn. Making porn is like if you want to corrupt a mind of a child which will grow up and make more porn. Kinda like how a rapist corrupts a parent who corrupts the child who then corrupts their children. Porn is a virus. If...

btw 8bitguy, there's something you should know about copyright and porn. The reason you don't see intelligent use of sex in porn parodies is because they have to be exactly that to be legal. They have to be nonsensical, but in so doing, they conclusively evade your reach. You don't have a prayer of ...

So I looked more deeply into the Prism thing. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/12/nintendo-sends-cease-and-desist-notice-to-pokemon-rom-hacker/ "It would have contained other tweaks, such as Brown's special monster types (wood, gas, wind, abnormal, and sound)" I can understand Nintendo'...

[citation needed] Both halves. Good luck showing damages. I mean winning the case on the defense, not winning anything directly from Nintendo. Patch law has never been settled. Just because modders haven't been willing to meet the bullies in court doesn't mean the bullies will win. There is a lot o...

... Uh, the right to free speech does not provide the right to infringe copyright, trademark, patents, &c. The judges make the call and I assure you, liberal American judges are in no mood to accommodate right-wing overreach. It's about time people got money together and took the Big N to court...

Copyleft open-source licenses, according to OSI, must not discriminate against wrongdoing and that includes porn and blasphemy (going to call it P&B for short). Therefore, a copyleft license would definitely allow that along with everything else. https://opensource.org/osd Look at points 5 and ...

Where does the Big N get off suing people for things Id, Valve, and Sega all sanction? The choice has been made by others, and it's time Nintendo submitted to the will of the fans.

Upon further research (particularly hacking the songs), it is clear to me that I was wrong and you were right. The sound I falsely attributed to the game is impossible to create with its actual instrumentation. (I guess I remembered playing that MIDI from before through the SYG-70 softsynth that cam...

The address of the boss theme instrument list is $054415. The thing is, it seems like we can't know for sure that there were only two releases of the game in the USA. There were like 200,000 copies or more made and we don't know the schedule of their release. I remember there being copies of FF6 in ...

Thanks to the good people at ff6hacking (not to mention your "Friendly Neighborhood ROMz Site"), I was able to get... closer to the bottom of the mystery. A review of FF3 US ROM v 1.0 reveals the following instrument set for "The Decisive Battle". 00 0D 00 0E 00 1E 00 02 00 0F 00...

Did you listen to the song from your CD? The sample is in the ROM; moreover, it was reused in FFVII (Shinra Company "broom sweep" fx). The sweeping sound is what's --missing-- from the emulated playback. Once again (and if you don't change your attitude it's my last post in this thread), ...
