Yes I agree. I think most of the games are real bad. I got rid of my Gameboy the day a Nintendo DS Lite came out...

I remember when I was a little kid, I used to play a lot of pokémon, it was cool:P

O, that. I haven't heard of it either.

The Visual Boy is an Emulator/ROM, and they are against the law so therefor this talk isn't allowed on the forums.

They are against the law? O, I never even heard if them. Let me do a little research on them...

Well, RFS has said they are on his website..

As computers continued to advance and emulator developers grew more skilled in their work, the length of time between the commercial release of a console and its successful emulation began to shrink. Many fifth generation consoles such as the Nintendo 64, the Sony PlayStation, and sixth generation handhelds, such as the Game Boy Advance saw significant work done toward emulation while still very much in production. This has led to a more concerted effort by console manufacturers to crack down on unofficial emulation. Because the process of reverse engineering is protected in U.S. law, the brunt of this attack has been borne by websites that host ROMs and ISO images. Many such sites have been shut down under the threat of legal action. Alongside of the threat, link rot has occurred at several links without update to the webpages.

On the other hand, commercial developers have once again begun to turn to emulation as a means to repackage and reissue their older games on new consoles. Notable examples of this behavior include Square Enix's re-release of several older Final Fantasy titles on the PlayStation and Gameboy Advance, Sega's collections of Sonic the Hedgehog games, and Capcom's collection of Mega Man and Mega Man X games for the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The most recent, and probably the most notable example is Nintendo's Virtual Console, which comes packaged with their new seventh-generation system, the Wii and allows for emulation of NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, and TurboGrafx-16 games.

I put my Gameboy SP up when I got my Nintendo DS Lite, too! That thing is SWEET!

Emulators are illegal, you can get really screwed if you use them.

[Snowball3028]

I still have my gameboy. Don't sell it. It's a retro system and you can't get it anymore except ebay (not smart)

[jeffy cheese]

ya they are ilegal but its been in my school for awhile so i tried it and i thought it would just save money thats all.

i am not bothered about it being illegal even when my mum is a police women lol.

off topic: i just want to say that i am trying to get some good music for my last video , its going to be whenever really when i just get the tme, maybe in this easter term.

you have to have good software to stop the bad games but i dont get them.
not all of them cause viruses, if they do just have good protection for your computer.

At that time I had Norton Anti-virus 200?
Then my PC got to recovery and get 2 more: AVG and Spybot
Then I got my XP that has McAfee.

[jeffy cheese]

ok ,i just mess around with pokemon , i use loads of cheats on it.

[Bellito]

I used to have two Game Boy Colors and a Game Bot Pocket. I never found the Pocket after we moved, and I sold one of the colors. The other one I still keep because the games intended to be played on it look the best there.

Of course, I have one of each model of GBA. (Regular, and SP)

ROMs are illegal because you are basically stealing from who made the game because you are getting it free.(ROMs are games)
