Do you think it's OK to hack?

[AshleyRules100]

I think its perfectly fine to hack. What do you think?

 

[Ray Maverick]

Yep,it is,but it has its disadvatages.Like,when you hack for a while,the rom crashes,and its soooo annoying.

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

No, I don't think hacking is OK.
I think it is the opposite of perfect.
It's just that I started and now I can't stop.

 

[Mana1]

Hacking is Terrible! << thats why we do it? :P

 

[Tyrantrum]

what is this I don't even...

Anyways, I think hacking is just fine to me. It's a great way for other people to experience game design, or the overall look of how people create the game, in my own opinion, of course. I'm hoping to make video games with Nintendo one day, and I think hacking, at the moment, is a great way for me to practice. Once that is done, it's on tobigger and better stuff, like RMXP, etc.

 

[Vrai]

what is this I don't even...

Agreed.

But yeah. If we thought it was bad to hack, then why would we be doing it?

 

[Abnegation]

Of course? Must we waste valuble thread space with this xD

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Who knows... Anyone can find pros and cons

 

[Master Terrador]

Now...If we didn't think hacking is OK...Why would we do it...-_-

Its Perfectly fine with me...Even though it breaks copyrights...

 

[DA-Kizemaru]

Isn't it illegal unless you own a copy of the games (not in a literal sense) ?
But its ok, wouldn't say you should do it...

 

[r4126]

Hacking a game is just like modding for PC games.

Hacking isn't illegal...downloading ROMs is. =D

Now, if you actually dump your own, the only thing illegal is breaking the copyright.

 

[Full Metal]

the copyright thing....
isn't that just as bad as burning a cd?
I mean seriously, no-one actually goes around sueing people for that
and surely to goodness nintendo has found us (pokecommunity) who knows, maybe they're using our tools XD wouldn't that be hilarious, not killing us b/c we're valuable to them XD i can't stop XDing @ the thought,why hack when u got the source code right?
anyways
i believe it is safe to asssume with the gb/gbc/gba games, we are hacking the scraps nintendo fails to update. We take over the responsibility so to speak
not to mention it's fun and challenging.
So yes, hacking is fine with me

Hacking is NEVER ok...if the hacker sucks and just dissappoints and cancels...seriously why would it be bad?

 

[althir]

Hacking a ROM is OK.
Hacking on ONLINE GAME is NOT OK.

Why?

Pokemon Roms are Single Player based, so theres nothing bad on it.
Hacking on ONLINE GAME, is bad and you all little hackers should get banned on them xD

 

[Hermione Granger]

I think it is ok, in my opinion they are way better than the ones that are official. Also reason why I want to learn even if I have no experience.

Hacking an Online game into a different Online game is wrong? its the same as Hacking a single but your putting it on a server

I think he meant hacking as in "using cheats" to give yourself an advantage.

Private servers are little different to ROM Hacks.

 

[~Magnus~]

Doesnt need to be a private server...turning Halflife into a Naruto MMO is hacking but its not wrong...

 

[Sora's Nobody]

I dont think its wrong i just think its fun :D
