If you don't own the real thing (cartridge or cds) then it is illegal. If I'm not wrong, the law says you can keep it only for about 24 hrs.

I don't know about all games, but it's illegal to get Nintendo games.
http://www.nintendo.com/corp/faqs/legal.html#authentic I wonder if that includes home made versions of games like Mario and stuff because I know there are a lot of those out there, too. --------------------  |

Yeah I hear they sell these old games through the Nintendo Wii for $5 or so.
That's probably why they wouldn't be too happy that you can get roms for Nintendo games. -------------------- The Free cPanel Host and GrandForums Main Administrator. Sign-up FREE Now!

Yes, they are.
But some games you can't get anymore, thats the only reason I would use it. |

Any copy of a game without permission from the company is illegal.
