Actual ISOs/Img files(sorry for another post so soon)

[wildcat84]

Well I had left another question in my last topic below,but it wasnt really important,well it was but..well whatever...what I really need to know is,where is a good site to get ACTUAL ISO files?


Every place I go,expect *****(which is where I got Silent Hill),never has actual ISOs...I'll download all the files for a game only to un-rar them and find thier img files and ccd files,or something like that.

Is there a site,like******,that has ACTUAL ISOS for download...and if not how in the world to I get the img,ccd ect...files to work,I tryed loading them from the ISO option in ePSXe but nothing happens...cause thier not ISOs.

Sorry, but you need to go over the forum rules.. Or else you would know that you cannot ask for or provide URLs/site names to get ROMS, ISO's and other copyrighted software.

Oh,ok...sorry...uhhh,this site is about emulation and playing roms on our PCs and were not allowed to ask about roms/isos and copywriten software well ok

That's right.

Emulators are legal. The software is not. We can give you support on using legal emulators, and getting the games to work with them, but not on where to get copyrighted software.

...I thought emulators were illegal because they were based on copywriten consoles like Sony and Nintendo...also isnt thier roms avaiable on this site?...thiers a rom section,well I dont know my mistake

Maybe you should search for legal issues on the google. The emulators are legals:

The roms/isos are available so do the google search.

No. None of the emulators or roms on this site are illegal.

With very few exceptions, all emulators are based on original code. This is done by reverse engineering, which is the legal act of duplicating the FUNCTION of a product without directly copying it.

Without reverse engineering we wouldn't have multiple brands, more than one kind of computer, or anything.

Think of it as driving to the store by two different routes.. You might travel the same amount of miles, use the same amount of gas, and even drive the speed limit. But you still arrived at the store by a totally different execution.

The roms on this site are original software, written to work on the actual console hardware, or with an emulator (and if it was done properly it will run flawlessly on either) that were developed and released free of copyrighted. Those are called Public Domain ROMS. No copyright, no legal issue. It's exactly the same thing as downloading open source software for your PC, like a free game, or the Firefox web browser, or a Linux Distribution.

Oh I see,and about multiple brands and driving to the store....thats a great example,never thought of it that way.
