The V64 file extension is categorized as a game file type which contains data stored in a file which has been dumped from a Nintendo 64 ROM cartridge. ![]() The V64 file extension originates from a Nintendo 64 ROM cartridge. Nintendo is a manufacturer of a series of gaming devices, software, and video applications. ![]() Legal systems are stupid and honestly, the US one is even more stupid.The file extension V64 is associated with the Nintendo gaming console by Nintendo, Inc. I'll just end saying piracy is NOT the same as stealing, it is however illegal, I do not condone it but I certainly think people should in some cases balance moral over legality. It stops as much pirates as games with complicate security measures (that is to say it doesn't stop anyone) and gives legitimate users a breath of fresh air. This is why I appreciate games like CoH don't requiring a CD while playing when the CD doesn't even have any stream data the game can use. In some countries software piracy is completely legal and to be honest it does more good than bad to both corporations and the people, people who would have NEVER bought the software in the first place (people that don't like spending much money on luxuries) and now the companies benefit from it simply because they create publicity for it by word of mouth (on forums for example) and in the case of Operating Systems, support them and might eventually end up buying software for it (for example I've seen people who pirate Vista but buy Office 2007, they would have bought neither had they not be able to pirate Vista).īut I repeat, I do not condone piracy, I feel bad when editors like the winsecrets editor post stuff that help people pirate software (like that piece on the vista rearm trick and no I'm not posting a link) and then try to look all good saying they do not condone piracy and lament how it will hurt Microsoft when they posting that article probably helped a few hundred people pirate Vista.Īs for anti-piracy measures, they only make life harder for the legitimate customers, pirates don't care (who would) if they have to go around a few security measures to play a game they didn't even pay for, in fact, its kind of fun for some. It is all a matter of reaching a balance of moral and legality, I do not condone piracy but also I don't come down on someone for downloading a rom of an old game (that isn't even sold anymore) they loved playing when they were kids. It is not like the RIAA will come knocking on your door for downloading a ROM (of a game you already owned anyways).īy moral terms, downloading old SNES games for example is correct as well simply because you are not damaging anything and you would have not bought the game anyway (its not even sold for example) but it would still be illegal. Lets get real, if you own the game and download it you might be doing something illegal technically but you are still not doing anything morally wrong or damaging to anyone. However back to the point, as mentioned the legal issues surrounding emulators and rom files are sticky and im sure that there may be other places where the info can be found, or you could always get a lawyer to check it out for you if you have a few grand going spare. however the only dubious part i saw was the info it gave where it said "it is illegal to download and use a ROM immage for more than 24hrs if you do not own the origional game." The site looked reputable and had rom images that apeared to be under licence. This info was gathered from a website i can no longer remember, i fount it a few years ago when i was away from home but had my iBook and wanted to play my SNES games w/o tv os SNES. Usually it all depends on the copyright and other laws in the country you live in. ![]() Homebres shouldnt be ittegal as its generally not copyrighted. I believe that the emulatou app itself is not illegat it is the ROM images that may be and i also believe that they are only illegal if you don't own the origional cart' or disk.
