Stupid. You won't translate a 10 year old comic that people will just view, but you will steal the videogame software from a developer that is less than 10 years old and you have no right to own?!?!?!
Mabey you should get your priorities straight!
I knew it!^^
Well, as I said, I had 2 other reasons not to translate Jojo (no time + not perfect in english) and I was in an old discution about KOF 2001 rom too (about a guy who said "how could I be ripped of the pleasure to play KOF games?" or something like that).
The difference here is that you can still buy volumes of Jojo (on the net, at worst) and it will still give a little money to the author. On the other hand, ADK is dead, isn't it? and new copies of WH are... somehow....inexistant.
The difference I make is not about the age of the thing, but about the question if the piracy may or may not damage the author. ADK is dead, and their NeoGeo cardrige only exist now in some stores of Akihabara (I had my WH2 there for 250 yen, I don't think you can feed many people with 250 yen....)
But, since I am VERY stupid, I just noticed that there are no-ADK games on the pages I gave, that's why I erased it (yes, I know, I should sleep more to avoid these kind of things, sorry).
I think, tell me if you agree or not with that, that games of dead companies, and therefore hard to find, and old systems (I mean, famicom, PC Engine, etc) should be pirated to prevent them to desapear completly. I think ADK games fit in this category. That's the difference I make with KOF 2001 rom, Rockman Zero rom or Araki's manga.

Dead companies: Yes
Dead Games: no, for this I give the example of like, Defender or any other really old game. You can get a port of this game no problem and if you can't it is still the companie's revenu that you are stealing.
If you have the game, then depending on the age of it then it is ok to have a rom. Like I put some of my old RPG's from SNES on my laptop. Why, cuz I have the game and I can spend my time playing other things at home, but love playing FF3 (6 jap) at work!
As far as a game like KOF2K1 that just pisses me off. I went to almost every arcade in the area and could not find it. I paid the $225 to get it for my MVS arcade. "But not every one has an arcade..." Boo Hoo Hoo. There was a home release and you can always buy a Supergun.
Everything else aside I hate arguing about ROM's There was a question asked and I put my opinion. Like you sexual preferance (ROMs) what you do in private is you own business. Don't tell me about your filth!

But ADK is dead, no?
and even if it was alive, I wonder what revenu they could get on second hand stores (is this the word?) in Akihabara selling their games around 2 or 3 USD. It is impossible to buy a new copy of WH in 2002.
I don't quite know if I am answering this correctly but you can buy a new copy of WH in 2002. In fact an arcade dealer got in a shipment of unopened new WH2 and WHP about a month ago. The pictures show that they are new with matching serial #'s and all art dip swithches and MM. This was MVS
The other problem that I see with this is that it does take money from the Arcade's. There is an arcade out here (New Orleans) that has a 4 slot set up that has older MVS in it (WH2, Baseball 2020, Sonic wings 2, and FF2). Arcade is where the revenu is intended to go for these games and by supporting the ROM you will make these games disapear in the arcade where they belong.
Yes ADK is dead as a company.

We think the same thing about that. And the problem of the rom of Rockman Zero which was disponible before the game was in store pissed me enven more.
I did not know this but it now as a downer to me. But the same thing happen with KOF2K1 and Metal Slug 4. Both Roms were reported dumped befor they hit the arcade. Do you know how hard it is to find these games in arcades because of this!

hmmmm... I don't get what my sexual preferences have to do with that, but I agree with you anyways.... (I think?)
I just ment if you are going to ask this stuff, use emails and other more private means to give out you booty. This will at least make it harder for dumb asses to get their hands on the ROMs.
That is just my beliefs you don't have to go by them. I really don't care that people do it, just when they beg for ROMs it kind of puts me in a bad mood.
BTW don't translate that comic you do have good reasons, it is just that I was saying if your going to pirate stuff go all the way. I see your points and agree to an extent, but I don't want to start a flame war.
Regards,
Matt
