So, can anyone tell me if roms are legal or illegal. Some places say no, others say yes, and I don't know which to listen to.
What is Roms?
roms are basically copies of games that can be downloaded off the internet and played with online copies of systems called emulators.
sounds Illegal :-\
They are illegal because if you get the games for free that means that Nintendo gets less money..
I use them though. I have a NES emulator with like 20-30 games, a SNES with 20-50 games, and a GBA with like 5-10 Pokemon games.
My friend gave them all to me :D
Careful - somebody on P/O board asked if it was ok to ask about roms & got blistered for it.
very simple guide to legality of stuff
-All emulators=LEGAL
-Commercial Roms (roms of games that were sold at one point) ILLEGAL
-Homebrew roms (roms that were made by enthusiasts) LEGAL
As long as you don't get caught you should be set.
