[superstarMASIAH]

Can I down-load mario games, from the internet, on to my PC?  some one told me i could, but i dont think they are of high mario perspective.

Yes, but um well... they aren't all legal.  There are roms (games you can play that are exact copies of the original ones) that you can use with emulators, but unless you own the actual game you are playing it is ILLEGAL.  I'm not even sure that even if you own the game it's legal.

There are also Mario FANGAMES.  These are made by Mario fans for Mario fans, but there are some copyright concerns there too.

I hope that helped.

[superstarMASIAH]

Yes, thanks.  But I dont want to do anything that might tick NINTENDO off,  just to high of a risk.  Hope you understand=(

What are Nintendo ROMs?

What is a Nintendo Video Game Emulator?

Can I Download a Nintendo ROM from the Internet if I Already Own the Authentic Game?

How Does Nintendo Feel About the Emergence of Nintendo Video Game Emulators?

What Does Nintendo Think of the Argument that Nintendo Emulators are Actually Good for Nintendo Because it Promotes the Nintendo Brand to PC Users and Leads to More Sales?

How Come Nintendo Does Not Take Steps Towards Legitimizing Nintendo Emulators?

People Making Nintendo Emulators and Nintendo ROMs are Helping Publishers by Making Old Games Available that Are No Longer Being Sold by the Copyright Owner. This Does Not Hurt Anyone and Allows Gamers to Play Old Favorites. What's the Problem?

Isn't it Okay to Download Nintendo ROMs for Games that are No Longer Distributed in the Stores or Commercially Exploited?

Aren't They Considered "Public Domain"?

Haven't the Copyrights for Old Games Expired?

Are Game Copying Devices Illegal?

Can Websites and/or Internet Content Providers Be Held Liable for Violation of Intellectual Property Rights if They Are Only Providing Links to Illegal Software and/or Other Illegal Devices?

Thanks, Luigison.  I read the set of guidlines at nintendo.com.  So far at the Funiforums, it feels as if we are all a band of brothers/sisters.  Like they all want to help me and not bring me down.  Thanks!

Oh, and I found a good Mario fangame called 'Super Mario War.' You can download it off Acidplay, and the idea is to kill the other Marios by jumping.

And by the way, does anyone know how to make *.wav into *.avi??

QUIZ TIME!!

1. Do you like the Mario Brothers??
2. Do you like the Simpsons?

If you answered 'Yes' to both questions, you are a true legend..!

Wait a sec! Aren't there actual Super Mario PC games?

Like the old PC version of Mario is Missing? I tell ya - it's official!!

I am a pure Super Mario lover!!

...and in no point in the future will he ever be abandonded by me!

I will even drawn the best Super Mario comics ever to exist!!

I once played Mariokart on PC, I tell you, it's pretty hard! I'm not used to play Nintedo games with a keyboard, I'd rather like a joystick more..
