Hey! I made a cool game! It's called "I poisoned half the food, so if you eat you might die!" Have a taco.

Wait, what? How is stealing from a professional (ripping from a commercial game) better than stealing from an ameteur (ripping from someone's hack)?

My philosophy concerning ripping from hack's is this:

If they use my stuff better than me, good for them. If not, what the hell am I losing?

Ripping to me seems kind of lazy, but maybe I should lighten up a bit. Some graphics out there are pretty cool...I just hate seeing the same ones used over and over again. Wait, that's what bothers me. Not the ripping...but the repition of graphics.

Hey, baby, all my gfx are handrawn (As if you couldn't tell.)

I added in the credits who was to be thanked for the graphics I used. Which if the graphics are from someone else's hack, which are just graphics from another Nintendo game, then it's not stealing from another person's hack, it's stealing from Nintendo.

I think the problem with hacks that have ripped graphics is that you're distributing them to the romhacking crowd. In order to hack a rom you might have to, I don't know, know a little bit about games.

If I already know where the graphics came from and have seen them before, they aren't nearly as interesting to me as hand-drawn graphics are.

But rips can look better than hand-drawn graphics while being less work. It's kind of hard to find excuses not to take the lazy way out and grab a couple of graphics from your favorite game.

I guess ripping could also be considered bad because you're taking stuff an artist's already created to make your own work.

But if you're hacking SMW in the first place, are you not ripping from a game already?

Wow, I like that question at the end of Glyph Phoenix's reply. Well a lot of people can't draw worth crap, and I'm one of them, so using graphics from other games is the only way of cutting it, no matter how you look at it, whether your draw it or rip it, someone can still someway get a hold of your rips.

Yes.. Of course graphics can be ripped other easy ways.. Not to give ideas to anyone here, but he does have a point...
