I like that comment, it can apply to pretty much anything. :p

Exactly. It's all I could say while brushing my teeth. There's always some issue somewhere. Now I need to go to the sink to release the toothpaste, so am going for the night.

I will answer it's obviously more difficult to own this kind of games at home (it's possible though ) rather than console games so I suppose the frontier of legality is quickly trespassed here and it's for me a great difference between console games emulators and Arcade systems emulators

Yes I understand, the more the same games like Mario Kart GP 2 for example, is already looking on the net are already on the net, then they would be illegal dumps or not? And even if those who would know if tests were used on them or not, who wants to lower these dumps Dolphin after having carried them to run is not it?

There is already said to the dumps on the net does not need to buy so pick up and take the tests, or was it illegal? Anyone know if it was illegal?

Thanks for replys.

Technically you have to own a game to dump it. And as Starscream said :

Quote:if it's possible to buy the game in any way, it's possible and legal to dump it.

It is not a legal problem to emulate something, so dolphin is on the safe side. It is the user that needs to make sure he uses a legal source to dump from, like buying an original arcade board or disc on ebay. Triforce support would be a very nice feature for those people.
