Thanks for the feedback,........but it got me thinking, if it is unlikely that copyright owners are unlikely to enforce their rights to a game they created, wouldn't it be cool if these rights could be auctioned off to enthusiasts, money could go to the games creator (a few hundred bucks may be better than nothing at all) or to charity (a retirement home for programmers springs to mind ). If that were the case what games would you pay good money for to say you 'truly owned' and how much would you be willing to pay considering you couldn't make any money from it..........i know its a crazy idea, i just wondered Willy

I am currently knocking together a site, mainly as a learning exercise for myself and would like to include some rom images. I wondered what is the legal status of them, are they public domain? I know roms are available for download here, but i would like to know if this is ok by the copyright owners Willy

Thanks for the advice guys, i guess i should have mentioned that i am in the UK using a PAL tv, so i guess they could be NTSC carts causing the problem. I am also using an old tv, as i couldnt achieve a decent picture without fine tuning it.....anyway ill give a different tv a try Cheers Willy

This is probaby a dumb question, but bear wwith me i'm new to this. I recently bought a 2600 to relive a few childhood memories. However some of the carts i got roll on screen? what causes this? can it be fixed? My thinking goes a bit like this....I thought the chip inside them was just a rom chip, so if there is a pic on the screen it must be being read, If thats the case then the cart is ok....so what causes the rolling screen?? Many Thanks Willy
