!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

No matter what going on with companies taking away our disc, or limiting the amount time you can "stream" your own game we will always have games to play.
B/c roms? 🤔😁
Picture is definitely a core memory unlock. Though we had the gray gun.
Discs have DRM copywrite protection and are truely not ours.
Can I backup my computer software?
Yes, under certain conditions as provided by section 117 of the Copyright Act. Although the precise term used under section 117 is “archival” copy, not “backup” copy, these terms today are used interchangeably. This privilege extends only to computer programs and not to other types of works. Under section 117, you or someone you authorize may make a copy of an original computer program if the new copy is being made for archival (i.e., backup) purposes only; you are the legal owner of the copy; and any copy made for archival purposes is either destroyed, or transferred with the original copy, once the original copy is sold, given away, or otherwise transferred.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Section 1201 Rulemaking
What classes of works did the Acting Register recommend and the Librarian adopt in the 2018 rulemaking? Video games for which outside server support has been discontinued, to allow individual play by gamers and preservation of games by libraries, archives, and museums (as well as necessary jailbreaking of console computer code for preservation uses only), and preservation of discontinued video games that never required server support
You actually own a specific copy. DRM or not, does not change it.
I have Lost Odyssey and the xbox version of Ninja Gaiden Black running natively on my linux machine. I am happy.
Zenith, hell yeah. Now owned by LG, IIRC. But not the same.
I don't think I'd seen one before that wasn't in a wooden cabinet though.
We had one when I was a kid that wasn't, but you're right majority were sold in a cabinet of some kind. I remember my mom's screen going green at end of it life. But it was like from the late 60's or early 70's.
