EDIT: I'd appreciate it if a mod/admin would lock this now, and before they do I'd appreciate it if nobody would post and would let this thread die. My question's been resolved and I've been proved wrong, I'm leaving the below undeleted as it's been quoted anyway so there's no point in deleting it.
I don't know if the moderator/admin is still on who did so, but I made an account about, I don't know, half an hour ago and asked a question. Because the question concerned a downloaded game the account was banned about two minutes later. (I have to say, at least the mods are quick...)
Now then, and mods/admins I would appreciate it if you read through this before banning me if you find it necessary. Yes, I've downloaded a gamecube game, which is breaking the law. And then emulated it (or rather attempted to), further breaking the law. Except, I never broke the law. I am under the understanding and, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, provided you own the original game it is NOT against the law to download the game ROM and emulate it. And in the case of the game in question (Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker), I own the original game. Therefore, even though I downloaded it, I am not breaking the law. For those mods/admins that have actually read through this, thank you for reading and again please do correct me if I'm wrong about this. I would appreciate it if necessary if you delete/lock this thread if you consider me to still be breaking the rules, but I would rather you do not ban my account and I will not discuss downloaded games again. (Admittedly I never read through the forum rules the first time, yes call me lazy, but I have now.)
The reason I downloaded it was 1. I have no idea how to extract the game files from a Gamecube disk, and 2. The disk is currently 3,500 miles away as I'm on holiday and will be for another month, so even if I found out how it would do me no good (hence the reason I never asked about that instead).
If someone would be kind enough to answer my original question, please do: When I downloaded it it was in 24 seperate RAR archives each one containing a .iso file. What do I do with them to make the complete game?
Also to make this a bit more related to the forum section in question, is there any chance of quad core support any time in the near future for Dolphin? Or would it require a significant change in coding that would make it not worth it for a while to come? I for one would like to see quad core support.
Thanks in advance to those who answer my questions, and to any mods/admins who actually read through this and acknowledge my points without banning me at the first sight of the word 'downloaded'.
