[edit] VBALinkReal link

I've commented out the link to VBALinkReal because it seems to lead to a spam site. Can someone replace it with a correct link to the VBALinkReal ste? Thanks -- De Zeurkous (root@lichee.nichten.info), Sat Jul 29 10:32:40 UTC 2006

[edit] Legality of emulators

Is it legal to play GBA games on this thing? I think people should understand the license agreement with ROMs. Unless of course, we already have an entry on the subject.

so long as you own the actual game, i would think it would be perfectly legal under the fair-use provisions of copyright law, barring a DMCA-based argument against it. i have no idea if the form-factor of the cartage or the format of the game data could be considered a form of copy-protection. 204.83.242.189 08:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Interestingly enough, emulators are entirely legal. I'm also pretty sure that Nintendo says in all their game manuals that it is illegal to make a copy of the game. Don't quote me on the second one though. --Cronodude360 18:01, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] file type?

what file type are the roms supposed to be? .rom? .htm?

It's .gba, a special filetype created for it, mainly. --Kaizer13 01:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
