but how can you possibly lose connection and still be playing "online" if you are disconnected?
to me it sounds like bill clinton saying it depends on your definition of what "is" is or how sex isnt sex just because he doesnt consider it sex.
i see both sides here and agree its a fuzzy area but all i see is a crack trying to be passed off within the rules with some PC description of what it does.
a while back there was a sh4 thread with a "hack" for the exe file, it was a flat out mod for faster loading or something (i cant remember) but it wasnt a crack for anything being bypassed but it was a hacked exe and therefore not allowed so there is an example of even if its action and intent is pure and legal its the bypassing of the check thats at issue and illegal
i think neal has the only opinion that really matters here since he is the final authority on what is or isnt allowed so its best to play it safe and not discuss the specifics until he gives his opinion on this so called "mod"
talking about it in "general terms" without specifics is IMO ok
