The Kickstart roms are closely protected, but C64 game roms are readily available online, so I dont think they are still copyrighted, or at leasst the copyright is not being protected....


i suspect it's a case of the rights not being protected because nobody seems to know who owns the rights at this stage, but there's been several commercially available emulators despite that. If anyone has qualms then getting C64 Forever is probably the way to go, it's just VICE with a few extra bells and whistles but comes from Cloanto, who are the people protecting the Kickstart ROMs so they've presumably done their legal homework.

OK, C64 Forever sounds like a great deal, then. Thanks! In terms of C64 games that are on the Wii's Virtual Console, it's some publisher called Commodore Gaming. I have no idea who they are, or who is even in their company.

Eh, I don't think Commodore 64 emulation is legal-at least, AFIK it's not like downloading Stella and some 2600 roms from this site. The Amiga kickstart roms are still copyrighted, and I don't know about the Commodore 64 roms.

I would think any old flash drive 8GB or larger would work. Haven't specifically tried using one for old xbox compatibility junk, but I do use one for saves & storing XBLA games.
Personally, I would rather buy this one then the much more expensive 250gig drive. I mean, I don't plane on using Netflix, or downloading any shows, movies, or music onto my 360. Just game saves, and XBLA games.

I highly recommend using the extra space on a 250 gig hard drive to download games to your hard drive. Every game I own is downloaded to my hard drive so I can game for several hours at a time without putting very much stress on my system.

and to get back on topic, I am able to play (some) original xbox games with my 250 gig, but without I cannot.

OK, well I guess I'll shell out for this, then!

YEs it's true(you can't play an original xbox game). You need to get a 250 gig hard drive. I got mine at gamestop(the hard-drive)
What about one of these flash drives?: http://www.gamestop....y-sandisk/77578
