No, it is ilegal no matter what, there are only two ways to legally have a back up of a game you own:
Cartidages:
#1 - You actually make the ROM yourself, since you own the game you are entitled to do this though you aren't entitled to download it from a third party source even if you do own the game.
#2 - You create another cartidage of the game yourself
Disc Based games:
- Using a CD Burner or DVD Burner, though it must be your copy that you are copying and you aren't allowed to sell the copy for profit though you could sell the original copy of the game.

Why they putting the Basketball game "Arch Rivals" instead of the 10x times superior NBA JAM in??
Isn,t NBA Jam one of the greatest hits from Midway in the Arcades besides MK?
I really hope they planning MAT 3 there are enough games to put in there: Smash TV, UMK3, MK4, NBA JAM (and TE and Hangtime), Cruis,n USA (and World), War Gods, 2on2 Open Ice, The Grid.
Terminator 2 and Revolution X with Lightgun Support would be cool too.

Let's see:
UMK3, MK4, Revolution X, Terminator 2, and War Gods could happen.
The NBA Jam name is now owned by Acclaim.
Smash TV is on MAT1.
The Cruis'n series is owned by Nintendo.
Open Ice and The Grid are still relatively new (1998 or later), so I doubt they'd put those on there.

That Blueoakleyz dude is nothing; you should try reading one of CelineDion555's posts without throwing up.
I still think the worst thing about this MAT2 business is that the IN-GAME MENU shows UMK3. A teaser is one thing, but if the game itself lies to you than that's pretty bad.

What in-game menu shows UMK3?

What makes me a jerk????
Because I'm sitting here saying that whining and complaining about something so trivial is stupid?

So far, we have been shown screenshots, and video clips from UMK3/MKT, which we know by the characters, backgrounds, and what MK2KungBroken, or whomever said about screen measurements, that have been labeled as being from MK3. Furthermore, the MK Team themselves, have even called UMK3, in many Krypt items, MK3. Either we ARE getting UMK3/MKT, because to the Midway team sees them as the latest versions of MK3, or we ARE ONLY getting regular old MK3, and the MK Team/ Midway need to seriously reorganise their workplace. SOMEONE is responsible for using the "False" gameplay screens, untill this situation gets resolved, this SOMEONE is responsible for our current belief in being "mislead". Therefore, this SOMEONE can be sued for false advertising.

Nope. Because you're counter whining. Which is 10x worse. And first you make a reply to me saying I won the argument in a sarcastic manner and now you're admitting there is no argument. You probably realize you have none now (something we've been trying to tell you i might add). Let's see. The only thing you've done so far is bitch about other people. That's you're whole argument. But hey, you're right, I did win the argument. I kindly invite you to get the fuck out if you have nothing to add. Being a cry baby about what people are saying adds nothing.

When something better than UMK3 comes out, I'll let you all know, because it still hasn't happened yet.
Being mad about a company blatantly lying to our faces with the hopes to catch a number of people offguard for more sales because it's wrongful.
Bitching about those people being mad just to be heard because you are new.
Maybe I gave him *too* much attention.

And when I look at an elephant I DO SEE an wooly mammoth :) through evolution and genetics anyway.
You guys all need to chill out.
You get so upset and defensive and insulted...
I mean first of all this whole thing about you all thinking it was false advertising just goes to show how way too serious you all take things. Then getting mad at me for disagreeing. What, you want to go to a message board where everyone agrees with you completely? How can that be productive.
Why would you assume this?
I mean if I agreed with you I wouldn't hear these kind of comments.
Just because I'm new to this board does not change who I am and my opinions.

Weak.

thickheaded moron
Posts on here should be limited to new concrete evidence of which version of MK3 will be released on MAT2 and/or constructive discussion.
All of our points are moot as we have had the same batch of piecemeal information/evidence for the past couple weeks. NOthing is conclusive, and no amount of mud slinging will change that. NO ONE, OUTSIDE OF MIDWAY'S DEVELOPEMENT TEAM, KNOWS WHICH VERSION, IF NOT BOTH, OF MK3 WILL BE FEATURED.
Everyone get your panties out of a twist, relax, have a beer, and play MKT.
Seriously, if you are all getting worked up over some trolls on a forum, then it's time to rethink your life's priorities.
I'm going to have a cup of tea. Care to join me?
HEY who said I was a troll?
I just have a disagreeing opinion
