yes, dling a rom is illegal whether u own the original cartridge or not. also, some sites may have a "disclaimer" about being able to keep the rom for only 24 hours, but that is bull too. they are just trying to cover their own asses.

if u want to _legally_ obtain a rom from a game u own, u must dump the rom urself from ur original cartridge.

im pretty sure many old roms are treated as abandonware and that the owners no longer care if they are downloaded, but that doesnt necessarily make it legal...
