Poll Results: Pirate originals in dats?
Yes: 64.44%
No: 35.56%
Since some pretty interesting software pops up here and there: Do you consider pirate original software worthy to be included in the dats? This means software that is developed from scratch but based on a movie-license or similar. Like illegal conversions of certain games for different console-systems or Pokemon for genesis and so on. What's your opinion?

Those games run on the original hardware so they might as well use some unique hardware capabilities that need to be preserved. Otherwise those hardware capabilities might be lost forever... That's why I think those pirate originals written from scratch need to be preserved.

My opintion: These should be preserved in a .dat seperate from the "clean" .dat.
I once played a version of metal slug that was running in an NES emulator. That was cool. I've also heard about a GTA rom that was also NES compatable.
I would be neat to have a list of these games in an alterante .dat along with "rips" (e.g. GameCube Zelda collection), and other "unoffical" titles. Keep the main .dat clean!

That is what I was talking about some time ago. I've already created datfile containing Genesis pirate roms.

And put this two dats (clean and alternative) in the same zip file, like mame, neogeo, or kawaks DATs...
This preserve the originals and pirates games, but don't mix them!
Great, Great, Great!
Sorry for my bad english...

Bumping this... and adding a poll. We still haven't heard the opinion of all the datters. All other opinions are welcome as well.
I say yes to preserve every hardware capability or in other word for better, more accurate emulation.

I think original pirate games and even total conversion pirate hacks from original licensed games should be included. This does not include stupid hacks like license screen removed, header edited, etc or translation hacks.
However everything should be included in only one dat. There is reason why unlicensed roms are tagged with (Unl). Use the power of your file system or don't get those roms in the first place. ;P

I think if they produced a real hardware (cartridge) it sould be in the dat. The good example for this is Jaguar games like Protector, Battlesphere or SkyHammer.
