About

Patent Pending was created when the emulation in general wasn't doing too well. Our goal is to provide the best and largest archive of emulation related and other video game related material. So far we are achieving this goal. This site does not use frames, uses minimal graphics, and was written completely by hand so all modern browsers at all resolutions can view it decently. Please e-mail us with any comments or problems with this site. We hope you enjoy your stay and hope you come again! To easily remember this site's addy, use http://patent.home.ml.org (and hope Monolith is up ;) --=MEGAߥTE

What's New?

  • 98.03.22 Komplete Overhaul
    All of the main indices have been split into separate groups going from nine sections to SIXTEEN sections. The reason for this was that Patent Pending's indices were getting too broad and unrelated. We have also annouced our presence to the emulation world. SNES SRM index has been updated. Zophar's Domain has gone down!
  • 98.03.21 Konfiskated Teknologies
    Konfiskated Teknologies has been started! MIDIs have been uploaded upon request. Netside is taking an official vacation from Patent Pending. If you care, today is the first day of spring. If you don't care, today is the vernal equinox.
  • 98.03.20 Links
    The Links page has a few links to get you started. Focus will now move to the Technical Documents section.

    The SNES SRM status has been updated, and a new article added, 'Intellectual Property part.2'. Also, some NES translations patches have been added. How do you like the color? Yikes. Don't worry, it'll be gone tomorrow :)
  • 98.03.16 Gameboy ROMs and lots of Articles
    Gameboy ROMs have been added, as well as the EMU News Service Article Archive. Also I've written two articles, 'Legality Issues of Emulation', and 'Intellectual Property'. PC Patches and PC Addons pages have been discontinued.
