I heard it's legal if you have a physical copy of the game. Would that mean if you happened to have a copy of the original Famicom MOTHER it'd be legal to own this?
No, because Mother was created by a different set of people, belonging to a different company (NOA/NOJ) than Earthbound Zero. Also, I don't think the judge would ever think you're innocent of getting an unreleased prototype game out of the internet...
? EarthBound Zero is just a translation of MOTHER with some modifications to various. It's not like they reprogrammed the whole game when they translated it to English.
No, they ddn't, but according to international law, translations are intellectual property of their creator (being NOA), and are thus protected. Also, I tend to think that judges wouldn't let you loose on the unreleased prototype status of the game.
Oh I know. I'm not arguing the intellectual property rights angle. All I'm saying is that your "because Mother was created by a different set of people" statement doesn't make too much sense.
It's illegal that emulators and ROMS exist but no one can do anything about it. Why would Nintendo want to go to every website in the world just to get rid of ROMS? So yeah it's perfectly 100% safe to download those so don't worry about it.
@Obsessed117 Lol, you got it all wrong. Emulators are completely legal. Downloading roms of games that you already own is legal. Downloading roms of games that you don't legally own, and company has rights to is illegal.
@Obsessed117 Downloading Rom files is completely legal.
IF, you have actually legally purchased the game in the past. Rom files make a computer version file of that game you have lying around, but without a system, or broken, or you want a more portable copy. That's what the roms are for.
What? Oh. It's a little mistake. As you notice by looking at the keyboard, the e is above the d, making it possible for an accidental spelling error. I meant Lloyd. It's not that big of a deal.
Ninten, Ana, Loid, and Teddy Not It's Not in Mother 2/Earthbound!

I tried it in Mother 1+2 and it worked. So it probably works on the Famicom as well.

Emulators are legal...downloading and uploading rom files isn't.
And the only way to play the original mother in english is using EB0...its not really anyones fault for pirating it because NoA won't sell it to us.
