Yeah, that?s how Meroko was distributed. Someone else had already posted binaries of TI?s
stuff though, and I had worked from those.
I wish I had the opposite problem. This whole
hypothetical emulation from hypothetical zilch business is a hypothetical pain in the
hypothetical ass.
AIUI they are rather complex machines, yes.
Well, unless I?m missing something, that might
make MY use of it legal but it wouldn?t help anyone else.
True. But these are the terms that most retro emulators are distributed on:
"Here's the code. To use it, you'll need ROM images and images of
software. These are not provided and won't be, so don't ask. Get your
own and it is your problem to ensure that you are legal.? I have a VM with actual IBM PC-DOS in it, downloaded
for free from
IBM's website, and MS Word 5.5 for DOS, downloaded from MS' website.
I asked for permission to redistribute the VM and as I expected, IBM's
response was "we have PC DOS for free download? What? Where?!?
Did you tell them? Did they take it down?
