looking?
I'm using one:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Make this the relative path to the images, like "../img" or "random/images/".
// If the images are in the same directory, leave it blank.
$folder = '';

// Space seperated list of extensions, you probably won't have to change this.
$exts = 'jpg jpeg png gif';

$files = array(); $i = -1; // Initialize some variables
if ('' == $folder) $folder = './';
$handle = opendir($folder);
$exts = explode(' ', $exts);
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
    foreach($exts as $ext) { // for each extension check the extension
        if (preg_match('/\.'.$ext.'$/i', $file, $test)) { // faster than ereg, case insensitive
            $files[] = $file; // it's good
            ++$i;
            }
        }
    }
closedir($handle); // We're not using it anymore
mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // seed for PHP < 4.2
$rand = mt_rand(0, $i); // $i was incremented as we went along

header('Location: '.$folder.$files[$rand]); // Voila!
?>

Yeah, but then you showed them your real FF7 copy in your Beatles CD case under the bed and they didn't arrest you! You guys can stop talking about how illegal it is anyway, because I think everyone knew it wasn't 100% illegal, and that didnb't stop them from using emulators.

Roms are illegal to put up for download, or to upload them to a publically-accessible web server.

You can personally make a backup of a game you bought and own for personal purposes only. Even if you did buy, and own the game, it's illegal to download a console backup off the internet if you didn't create it yourself.

The 24 hour excuse is bull crap. Emulation websites use that as an excuse to get away from the smaller lawsuits until the big boys go after them (Nintendo, Natsume, whatever).

Some companies don't care, if the game is pretty old and they don't make money off of it anymore, then-on seen as abandonware, or maybe they are just blind, old-bats that don't know how to navigate a rom website through all the popups to find the illegal stuff.
