It depends. A hacked ROM contains two parts; the altered code which is not copyrighted, and the unchanged code which remains copyrighted. Therefore, distributing or downloading a complete, playable hacked ROM is illegal because a portion of the ROM is still copyrighted.

I would say not, as I understand software law, but I'm not a lawyer. Here's my interpretation - MAME is software which emulates computer (arcade) hardware. AFAIK, this has never been tested in court. However, hardware which simulates computer hardware, and software which simulates computer software have both been found legal, so it follows that MAME should be legally okay. Examples: Hardware simulating Hardware - Intel sued AMD early on (and lost) over AMD's K6 chip copying the Pentium hardware. See similar questions...

Warning: When installing from CD-ROM, it is usually not a good idea to choose dselect's cdrom access method. This method is usually very slow. See similar questions...

There is nothing illegal about a group of friends getting together in a private home. Absolutely no illegal drugs are allowed on the premises. Please - *NO TWEEKERS*.

When mixing escort services and fun, people might think twice. But our business is totally legal; this is all thanks to the European laws that govern the island in which we are.
