    Donkey Kong Country 2?

    Well... I just recently bought donkey kong country 2 and whenever i put it in the SNES it says "this product will not operate on unauthorized copier"

    WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN!?!?

    I tried it in another SNES and it didn't work!

    Please Help!! I love this game very much and I want to play it but it won't work!!

        Since you own a legitimate copy of the game, I would say that there is no moral dilemma in simply downloading a rom. Sure, it's technically still illegal, but it's not like you're stealing something, since your copy of the game just doesn't work.

        Alternatively, you could spend another 30$ on a GBA port (assuming that you own a GBA or DS), or wait for it to come out on Virtual Console (assuming that you own a Wii and a Gamecube or Wii Classic controller).

          Awsome game. That really sucks that it won't work for you. Technically, it's legal for you to download a ROM of the game because you have a copy of it.

          You could also try buying the SNES Game Cleaner Kit (if you can find it anywhere) and give it a guick cleaning.

            Nintendo doesn't like you.

                O.O

                I think DKC2 is the best out of the whole DK franchise!

                Though, you should get DKC as well, great stuffs =^.^=

                  It is?

                  Since when?


                  However, in the U.S. it has been illegal since 1983 for a user to create their own backups of video game ROMs. This was decided in the court case of Atari v. JS&A. JS&A manufactured a "game backup" device that allowed users to dump their Atari ROMs onto a blank cartridge. JS&A argued that the archival rule allowed for this. The court disagreed, noting that ROM media was not subject to the same volatility as magnetic media (for which the law was created). Thus, not being so relatively vulnerable, ROMs were not applicable under section 17 USC 117.

                  Some games companies, such as Nintendo, print warnings inside their game manuals that they do not allow users to make backup or archival copies. Whether or not these warnings in this specific form can be considered valid contracts is legally questionable. For an overview of relevant issues, see user agreement (EULA), shrink wrap contract, clickwrap, Fair Use, Fair Dealing and DMCA.
                  Note: I said above already that it is still illegal. However, he no longer would suffer from the moral dilemma of "stealing" the rom, because he actually paid for and currently owns a real copy of the game.

                      Oh ^ ^;;

                      I wasn't aware of that. I shoulda probably researched before I said what I did.

                      That, and I should never trust my friends when the topic involves pirating

                        Love the DKC series; first one was my first faved video game, besides Mario in between.

                        Anywho, my solution:
                        Just get it on GBA SP and buy it from there.

                          We had problems with this at PEP. I have no idea what you should do, since we never could figure out how to play the copy that crapped out on us and started giving us that message.

                              I know I'm so mad! I have all 3 of them and only the 2nd one doesn't work!!!

                              I'm thinking of trading it in at another store and then get the money and wait for another DKC2 to be in there then buy it...

                              I have a cleaner kit but I think we tried it already... will try again...

                              The only thing I really hate is that no one any where on the web has fixed this problem... it says look in instruction manual for details but I don't know where its at!!!
