download them would be so much better.. i prefer playing on computer! nicer view..bigger and louder XD
Download em, I bought a flash cart a while ago - 256mbit. You can store 4 average size (64mbit) games at any one time. Just connect it to the comp and transfer the .gba files then you can play the games in your GBA/GBASP.
Buy them, as to not stir up trouble with the ESA.
Downloading them gives you a larger choice,
You dont have to own a GBA.
Some games are crap and you wonder why you downloaded it, then why would you pay for such a crap game?
and you dont have such a small screen.

downloading is useful, cause you can quicksave games unlike real games
I would rather buy so I can...go on and play them in the car and at school...

Download! I have a history of being non-legit, so that's what I'd shoot for. Besides, why waste your money? ^_^

Sure downloading them!!! ;)
Your pc can play the games faster than the original console.
Anyway... the time u spend to dl them is not compared to the price u pay for buying them, so DOWNLOAD OWNZ! :P

None. I'd burn the gba before even thinkin' of games.
Oh, another good point is that most emulators can speed up the game, that means you dont have to waste your time to read a whole lot of useless text and you can get on with playing the game. Some games make you wait a long time while it lists the text, I'd rather just play. Another reason for emulators.

EMULATORS OWN cept for the non portable part and no ps2 emulators well there might be but u know its probably a proto type
There are ps2 emulators, but its a real bother looking for the plugins and bios for it.

well i got a couple of PS2 emulators but i haven't gotten time to get games to test it out, as for gba i've been downloading roms for a while now and i prefer the downloads, i mean of course with the real thing u can carry anywhere but most likely i won't leave my pc to play any games elsewhere, i prefer to game in the comfort of my own home and in front of the pc

i download gba roms, ive only bought a few, namely pokemon games. meh what can i say the anime blows but the games are decent, so id buy them for trips or something so id have something to do. other then that ive downloaded game boy games for the past 4 years and i had at one point over 200 gb/gbc/gba/snes games on ym computer but i had to delete alot of them, took up too much space and i never played most of em anymore.

omg i only download 2 games at max and when i get new ones i delete those 2 plus i only concentrate on beating kingdom hearts chain of memories and im trying to force them to make the chat thing for pokemon fire red ver.
i only dl too. i'm also playin KH: COM, i'm stuck at Hallow Bastion Boss battle.
id buy it im not very patient
I'd download them.. Because I don't have a Gameboy :p (Only the first one, but there are no Naruto-games for that one) And the prices are a bit high.. So I just prefer downloading :)

I'd download 'em then buy them if I like them
I just download them. I dont see the use of buying them when I can get it for free. Plus I save the money for buying my Xbox games.

definately download em u r allowed to have them for 24 hours legally if u dont own the game and it doesnt take that long to finish most of them i finished the new zelda and the minish cap in less tha 24 hours and then deleted it now tell me why waste 60 dollars on a game that wont last one day???
but it is illegal
if the officials find out u have roms and emulaters for free
then wont they do something about it? like sue u and ask for fines and others stuff like that?
i only dl for trying only but the old games that i cant buy em i dl em
well, I didn't expect all this arguing about buying or downloading... I don't consider it illegal downloading the games, so what? everyone does it... its not like they're all of a sudden gonna arrest or fine every being who downloads games... we all do illegal stuff sometimes without even realizing it.

Downbloading roms is fun and free, so y not
________________________________________ ______________________
Stick with roms so that u can make nintendo go out of buisneess
i agree witht he both of u but consider this:
if ur caught what do u think they will do about it?
i mean seriously
they would try to sue or make fines or even have u arrested(im only guessin the concicoences here) (miss spelled -.-)
