1) The current climate (with Nintendo being pissed) is hardly one where people should share links to ROMs;
2) Either way, sharing links to illegal content is not allowed on this site. Feel free to find the past forum threads with the OP of those threads asking the same question as you. You will find those locked.

So, really, it's not a question of "helpfulness" but rather one of common sense and sticking to the rules.

That said, "'game name' rom" is not exactly the hardest thing to type in Google, now, is it?

The emulators let you run games that you backupped using special hardware on your game consoles. If you need games, you have to buy and backup them. Or are you a pirate?

Are you serious?

I personally am a member of forums dedicated to

modifying xbox's
Jail breaking Iphone's
Sharing software
Dvdrips
Bluerays

To name a few and you're worried that a post in a online thread can get you into trouble?

Seriously? Umm can provide evidence or any legal precedent where sharing (e)formation as a member of a forum has landed said member in trouble?

It'd be easier for you to simply say "I don't want to tell you." I'd have more respect for that.

But fear of prosecution? lol cmon man. I'm a maemo newbie but have been on the net long enough to know e-bs when I see it

Then...it appears you dont need any help finding this stuff. Why do you ask if you have such a background and experience in this sort of thing?

because I have no idea of what files will work with maemo & I have 0 experience with emulators (i have a 360)

I pre orderd in september & have waited too long to simply own the device so I'm cautious.

If I knew how then trust me, I wouldn't be practically beggin for the help of others.

Perhaps the super nintendo took up to much of my times as a child and I'm just feeling a tad to nostalgic

How can Nokia be so dumb and advertise and promote the emulators...that's like asking for lawsuits. Even as a consumer and user, i knew this is illegal. So when i heard that NOkia even put up a video showing off the emulators..I was like WOW. I thought those videos are created by users...but man how can Nokia be so dumb!! They should keep it silent.

cool story bro...how many of those are official forums ?...why dont you try asking how to jail break on apple.com forum...

Hmm, quite some messy business here
First off, sorry for my answer jedi. In hindsight, that picture is a bit offensive. I just use it because i think it's funny
Personally, i couldn't have cared less about the legality of content. Sure, i can be tracked down and sued into submission, but i don't think anyone would bother just for posting a link. I just don't do it out of principle: googling isn't tech knowledge, so there's no reason i should do it for you and just give links
Now, about the legal issues around emulators: it's pretty much like bittorrent. The system itself isn't illegal (the hardware may be patented, but algorithms, which are the important stuff, can't be). So the question is mostly about the legality of content (ROMs), which... well, it's each one of us' business.

This is official Nokia N900's forum.
We wouldn't want Nintendo to file lawsuit against the site or even close the site down for sharing knowledge gaining copyrights materials from Nintendo for free.

We showed you the path.
You would need to go and explore it yourself my young jedi.
