View Full Version : ISO and Roms

Oh my lock this one right? :P

ISO & ROMS:
Why not embrace them? It is illegal to host them (which you would not be doing) but not to provide links to them or to discuss them in the open (it is only illegal to host and download them which is irrelevant). You are greatly limiting your audience by instating unnecessary rules.

To have a site about hacking psp and to have no discussion about iso and roms seem like blasphemy. More users would come here, I’m sure, if rom & iso discussion was permitted (I know that’s why there are more users at pspcrazy ;) ).

Not if you oppose this then be sure you state your reason.
This is merly an idea to help improve the site of course :D

u can discuss ISO, roms, but cannot post, ask for links, but u can freely talk about them, who says talking about ISO's is illigal???, its not, just asking/posting links is

02-19-2006, 12:29 PM
yea we are allowed to tlak abotuthem in every way, just cant provide them in the open (u can PM links to each other)

its cuz sites can get shut down for that.

now i have a workaround, someone can go maike a free webpage, put a buncha ISO and ROM site links on it, and put that as their website in their profile. linking to a site thta links to ISOs isnt exactly illegal ;)

is it?;) if that were the case: search engine would get sewed from providing links to illegal sites (which doesn't happen)? It is only illegal to upload and download illegal material (if your bound by laws ;) to simply provide a link should not be illegal. (I really don't know -- because I live outside the law ;) )

I agree completely with illfoundedmind. There is no reason that we shouldn't be able to post links to ROM sites. Why isn't Google shut down yet? They have links to ROM sites, ISO sites, and worse sites, like kiddie porn sites. So why haven't they been taken down yet? Because they don't host the illegal material.

edit: I still don't think that we should be able to post links to ISOs. Just ROMs to outdated systems.

02-21-2006, 08:52 PM
Here would be the rules I was talking aboot

1. DO NOT post any links directed to illegal software - this includes all the recent PSP ISO's, Roms, Copyrighted Music and Movies, pretty much all Copyright materials - you post, you're Banz0red.

2. DO NOT ask for any ISO's, Roms, Copyrighted Music and Movies, pretty much all Copyright Materials, and this includes asking through PM's (Personal Messages) - you ask, you're Banz0red.

It says direct links so I could give direct you to a javascript redirect page? or a page with a link to it :D?

Heh, Mudo is in Dragon Warrior IV for the NES. DQV is for the SNES.

Dragon Quest V is very good, actually. Way better than any of the Final Fantasy games that came out on the SNES. It's my second favorite in the series (my favorite being DQVIII for PS2 (it fucking owns)).

That would still be considered illegal content, and we would lose advertisers. We're walking on the edge of their TOS right now allowing talk about them.
Plus there is the moral issue. People really should go buy their damn games.

belly0fdesire
02-22-2006, 07:33 PM
It's the same as with any medium... if advertisers disagree with the content of the medium, they will pull their ads... It's been done with Tom Leykis and Howard Stern as well as with some television shows...

My stepfather was a pain in the ass when I was little... (long ass time ago)... and when we were watching the Simpsons, he disagreed with the content of the show and took down every advertisement shown that was aimed at children... he wrote a letter to all of them and threatened to pursue legal action if they didn't pull their ads from the show and sent a copy of the letter to fox also... he got a few letters back thanking him for his concern and suggestion and thereafter we didn't see any advertisements aimed at children during the simpsons. Nowadays, I see some advertisements that are aimed at children, but this was a long time ago...

Howard has mentioned a few times that he had been getting heat from his Manager for his content because of the FCC, of course, but also because of threats from advertisers, who didn't agree and didn't want their product associated with the material on the show.

So yeah... if the advertisers disagree with the content, or if they are afraid of legal action being taken against them for their association with illegal content, they will pull their advertisements...

Well that make sense about why there isnt a downloads section for ISOs/Roms. I was wondering about that for a long ass time too hehe

Isn't there a way around it tho? I mean theres alot of Rom/ISO sites out there with tons of sponser ads. I think I even remember seeing a few of the sites that got the same sponsers have psp movie downloads at the least.

They might not care if you don't post about it on the front page then just have a special forum w/ a members only or min post limit to enter it. Name the forum section "PSP Downloads" then for a sponser to even SEE what kind of posts it contains they'd have to become a member,etc

That way the site would look the same and not risk losing any sponserships. Surely the sponsers don't got enough time to inspect every sites forums that close..

All three of you are wrong. They won't pull out due to illegal content. I have seen Warez forums/sites with huge Google, Clicksor, Kannodle, Yahoo and Kontera ads on them. Also, If you take a look at the ads on the front page they have ads FROM google advertisers to sites like unlimited psp downloads and pspblender, which HOST ISOS, MOVIES, and MUSIC. There are even adverts to places to get Swap Magic ( The disc that allows you to play PS2 ISOS) on this site.

I've played DW4 nearly all the way to the end, and don't remember the name Mudo.. I should probably go through and play it again.

But DQV, ahh, that was an amazing game.
It's been a while since I've played it; I don't remember much. I remember you had to get two orbs to raise a flying castle? In order to get one, you had to go back in time and take it from yourself?

though it is convenient and saves money on using isos instead of buying the real thing, it just kills the industry... probably that's why sony is making new games that would only run on higher fw (2.8 and above)....nokia ngage died because it was easier to copy their games (imagine copying and playing ngage games on other phones).... i hope it wouldn't happen to psp... just my 2 cents...

Ive noticed Rom discussion being a phox pa here in psp hacks and since thats one of the only reasons i hacked my PSP i think that leaves me well out of most conversations.and i will however say having discussions about roms will lead Noobs to make threads like "Link to n64 roms?" and "where can i get link to good ISO's" but the rules for requesting or giving out links to roms or ISO's should be like what they are now for mentioning these things. Either way i have over 4,000 roms on my psp and i cant show it off.

Reguardless, i love this forum. Lots of creative people. Just wish we could get some pissing contests on with roms. Whoever has the most wins!

I know this kind of an old thread, but I just wanted to say hosting links is in no way shape or form illegal, being the actual host of the said file is illegal, big ass difference. You can link to child porn and it wouldn't be illegal, search engines do this , this is the search engines job, to find you relevant content and provide you with a link to that content. Iso's and Cso's aren't illegal either until you share them, or burn them onto disc. This website needs to grow a pair and quit censoring and banning people for dumb little shit, I believe this to be Communism. I'd spit on anyone who would stifle my god given freedom to speak my mind especially about something as insignificant as Iso's and Cso's. Whoever runs and maintains this site, I believe their called "mods" or something like that need to quit banning people for talk. Instead they should be banning the tattle talers who run to the mods everytime they don't like something they read. This is a forum, a forum is where people discuss things, censoring those things negates the whole idea of having a forum.

But I guess WHERE you share them matters. PSP-Hacks.com can get sued.

You cannot be sued for hosting links to other sites that have these files, it's all quite simple. They cannot be sued for links to ANY kind of content. As I have said, every search engine known to man have links to child pornography, they do not get sued. You can and will not be sued for having links to other sites. I am sure though you are right, any internet provider would not appreciate having to determine what is and isn't "legal", but at what point are people going to continue to allow others to dictate who can say what wherever? Surely, any intelligent person can appreciate the complexities of a simple link that can cause so much controversy, but let's not forget, what truly is and what isn't illegal. If psp-hacks.com were to get sued, of course that would be a pain in the ass, but more importantly shouldn't this website also defend itself against what would seemingly be a null lawsuit? This lawsuit would bear no substance because having a link, any link is legal. If you were to be sued, full well knowing you are not commiting a crime, would you just let them roll you over and take your money or would you fight what would essentially be a frivolous lawsuit? There are laws to protect the little people. I love this website as I'm sure all of you do too, but the restrictions that are put forth are needless. There are laws in place to protect speech. So please all you tattle tales that run to the nearest mod to tattle about something that really shouldn't concern you in the first place, keep your worthless tattling to yourself and let people express whatever it is they have to say.....after all speech is protected. If you cannot simply discuss ISO's and CSO's then who's to say we can't start talking about the ol' bait and switch at walmart? As far as I know, that is illegal. Mods on this site pick and choose what they find unappealing and with a few clicks of their keys, they abuse their power. I like this site, I find it very informative and very fun, but I don't like these do gooder mods stroking their ego's when they lock a newb's harmless thread.

I do not in any way, shape, or form intend to offend anyone. My apologies to anyone who may be offended. If you are offended then I guess you are that type of mod I was talking about.

he didnt mean it was illgeal to the US government, ti is illegal on THIS FORUM . Thats the rules and u gotta follow them.
Then that would be the purpose for this suggestion -- make it okay to do so ;) and you'll get more members and more cash. Quite simply… - WHY NOT? I could make countless reference to situations similar to this but they would most occur in a jail cell :P
dont drop the soap!

I know this old, but I'd like to say my piece anyway.

The legality or otherwise of linking to Rom sites misses the whole point. No one is going to sue psp-hacks. Won't happen.

What might happen is, google pulls its ads, and then we get a whole lot of whiny posts about "psp-hacks needs money! Donate through paypal!", and the site quality declines because there's not enough money to pay for decent server etc.

Or, the server pulls the site at the request of someone, and while you spend three or four weeks convincing them you're not doing anything illegal your users all disappear.

I've seen both of these happen to sites I love, and it would suck if it happened here. I actually kind of like the fact that we can't link to rom sites; I think it lifts the tone of the site and makes it more about actual hacking rather than just a free-for-all piracy website. Don't kid yourselves - if we allowed links to be posted they would soon dominate the site. It wouldn't be a little section in the bottom of the forums.

No links to Roms also allows more attention to be given to homebrew games, which is a good thing. Any support for legitimate uses of cfw is positive in my opinion.

And finally, for fucks sake, if you can't find the rom sites without someone cut and pasting a link for you you are too stupid to be on the internets, and you deserve to pay $100 a game for the rest of your life.

So basically, we do our thing -hacking -, they do theirs -(il?)legal downloads -and I don't see any good reason to change that.

I personally don't think their is a need to link to iso's and cso's on this forum

I spend most of my time in PSP-hacks game section of the forum and i try to give psp-hack members information on the latest psp scene releases and if i'm not online someone else will be kind enough to post info on the new games ... just paste the filename from the posts into google you will easily find the iso that you are looking for .
If the file did not hit your fave download site yet be patient these files take a little while to spread over the P2P networks .
If you are looking for torrents , sign up to some private trackers because they normally get the files a lot quicker than open trackers and have better seeder to leecher ratios.
If you have free access to newsgroup servers from your ISP use them... it's a nice fast way to get the latest releases
If you want direct downloads ( RS , MU etc etc ) google around for sites that post links ... they are not hard to find .

For me this is the best PSP site available on the net and i have signed up to many in the past and i think the site would go rapidly downhill if people are begging for links to the latest releases every day

It's not hard to find these games but for me the search is part of the fun .
Happy Hunting ;)

I think it should be okay the have links to roms but no iso's, the rule should be if the system uses cartridges and isn't made anymore then it should be ok the link to roms.

Rules are rules, its as simple as that.
Copyright laws differ from country to country, therefore, to play it safe this site has a policy of not allowing links to illegal/pirated material of ANY kind.
and as said above, if u cant use Google and find them urself, u dont deserve to have them.
The Internet has everything there is piracy wise, if u cant find it then too bad, there is no reason for ppl to come here and get spoonfed when they can get it for themselves from hundreds of other sites.
This is a hacking forum, with members devoted to helping others enjoy the benifits of unlocking there psps and using homebrew apps, this is NOT a place to get ur illegal games and whatnot, for that u have Google, use it.

Don't mean to be a pain in the arse, i know this site is for hacking, but psp-hacks.com can only get sued acording to the country / state the website is hosted in. doesnt matter what any other countries laws are..... ie, Toronto

I have a question...

Why can we provide illegal music/videos/photos through [youtube] or fileupload on this site, but we cannot post links to roms?

It is basically the same thing, we are allowed to embed illegal material on our site, but not post links to a site which contains illegal material? it makes no sense.

Youtube is not considered illegal through one reason or another... not sure on the legalities. I guess it's because it's all user-hosted content or something like that.

And we are not supposed to share links to illegal files. The mods will use their discretion to determine a course of action if a link is posted. Or at least, the mods SHOULD use their discretion

but isnt fileupload and rapidshare user hosted content? so why not post links to there?


i guess the advertising thing makes sense, but i just think that it is stupid how so few sites host links but embed youtube.
