Looking for FFIX download

These are older games, they arent counting on the revenue from them anymore.

I'm not talking about only the small amount of people who pirate games. I'm talking about everybody. If everybody who wanted to play FFIX decided to download it instead of buying it (and they more than likely can), then Square wouldn't get anything for the fine product the made.

And yes, it's still stealing.

[TheAbominatrix]

Never said it wasnt stealing, and not everyone is going to do it. There's no reason for Vaan to freak out about it.

I have every reason to freak out about it. For everyone who pirates these games Square Enix gets cheated out of profits. (remember you can still buy this game in stores!) And it's not just that. It's not right-- you really shouldn't cheat a company that brings you great things. Final Fantasy IX is a game worthy of legal purchase.

[TheAbominatrix]

So on that same token, you shouldnt let your friends borrow games or lend your own out, right?

[Vaan]

That's different. Once you legally buy something you can do anything with it-- sell it-- whatever. Why is this so hard? just don't pirate, it's not going to do any good for them and it won't be good for you. What's so good about owning bootleg products? That's just not cool.

[DocFrance]

If you lend it to a friend, you can't use it, so it's still legal. If you copy the game and give the copy to a friend, that's illegal. However, if you once owned the game, but lost it, copying it from a friend or downloading would be legal, although a bit sketchy.

[TheAbominatrix]

But lending it to a friend doesnt give the company the revenue it would get if the friend went out and bought it, Vaan.

And what's so good about piracy? It's free. Duh.

[DocFrance]

No, the company gets the revenue from you yourself buying it. The company produces one copy, and you pay the company for one copy. Any trading beyond that, as long as it doesn't involve copying, has no effect on the company that made the game.

Piracy is free, but it's also illegal and, to most people, immoral. Are you going to go down to a Best Buy, grab a copy of FFIX, and walk out with it? It's the same exact thing.

I am glad see you eye-to-eye with me, DocFrance. See Abominatrix, he sees the light-- why can't you?

[DocFrance]

Well, for one, I'm pretty sure that Abominatrix is a she. For two, it's her opinion and her choice - she doesn't have to "see the light" if she doesn't want to. Besides, this isn't about who is right and who is wrong - this is just a debate about a very sensitive topic these days.

[Vaan]

Uh oh... everyones getting annoyed with me
You're right DocFrance, I'm sorry for so forcefully telling TheAbominatrix what's right and wrong, and it's totally true that she has a right to her own opinion. And DocFrance, in my post where I put "he" I meant YOU not HER (if, that is Abominatrix, you are indeed a she). Sorry about the corniness in my fight against piracy.
"he sees the light-- why can't you..."
...Man I can say dumb things

[DocFrance]

It's cool, it's cool.

I got a question for PSX games that you can download. I found one that isn't FF9, but I want to play. I read up on burning them to a CD to play on the PSX console but that is rarely ever works. Is there any way that I can extract the iso from the nero image and play on my computer?

[Ex-Caliber]

I have the answers for you LionHart. If you want to play your PSX game that you downloaded all you need is a PSX emulator. PSX emulators are not too popular because they are a little harder to set-up because there much more technical than Super Nintendo. Anyway to get the best emulator out there go to http://www.epsxe.com There are others out there but this one is the best. Anyway after you download the program you will need 2 things... The Bios images and the plugins. Go here http://www.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe.php?action=plugins to get the plugins for the emulator If you rnot quite sure which ones to get go with the ones will full ratings. As for the Bios images you will just have to surf around for them. And yes you have to have them to get the emulator to run. To run games you can either use the ISO's or run cds's both burned and actual. Well I hope that solves your problems and others who may be in the same situation. If you have any questions let me know.
