Roms

[Saraneth]

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?

[Saraneth]

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.

-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.
