At the end of the day a hack, whenever applied to a ROM, is a copyright infingement, no matter whether you own the original game or not.


nonsense. *distributing* a modified ROM is copyright infringement. but you can do whatever you please to your own copy.

the DMCA doesn't govern a bunch of NES and SNES games made well before 1998. i can't think of which other law you'd be basing this claptrap on.

presence or absence of a resale license is irrelevant to a patch user who's not buying or selling anything. it's also irrelevant to a patch author who's not selling anything or distributing the original game, but rather a file consisting of their own changes to it.
