I'm not talking about ROMs, and of course, do not post any links to illegal items, but I wanted to talk about emulators for a second.
The XBox360 has an XBox emulator becuase they were unable to put the actual hardware in there becuase of problems with the GPU manufacturer afaik... but is there any legal issue with them putting say, a PS2 emulator in there. Do you need the support of the initial manufacturer before you can make an emulator whether, say for example putting an MD in the XB?
Can you patent or copyright hardware? Or is there an issue with the code and stuff, like the BIOS or something? Does the outlaw of mod chips create an issue for emulators? Is it against the law to create or download emus for use on the PC?
