ROMs for emulators are bit shady - most are illegal.

I don't think you can talk about getting illegal ROMs on here, so you'll have to use your imagination - think, "Where would I download illegal things?" - I'll say no more or I'll get into trouble.

Hmm

So in other words, just because you own the actual cartridge, its not like a cd or dvd where you can do something to it and put it on your handheld? I guess thats what I had in mind, being able to play the games that are sitting in the closet

I belive it IS legal to download a coppy of a game that you own. I would recomend a search on google for more information regarding roms and emulators.

I'm pretty sure it is still illegal as you are violating the copyright just by reproducing the material in a new form not authorized in the orginal purchase. I tend to get fuzzy on these laws though so I could be wrong. But should you simply heed the advice of the second post I think you'll find what you are looking for.

Or you can get some homebrew SNES roms, which are free & legal. Google is your friend.

Ive read into the legal areas of emulation and roms. Emulators are 100% legit and legal.

When you buy a cart you are legeally entitled to the information on the chips in THAT cart. You ate not entitled to COPIES of that said data thats on other carts. However, if you read the back of most game manuals for NES, SNES, and Genesis, it might say something like "Making a backup or "arhiveal" copy of this cart voids your right to own or operate this cart and the data within". So it basically says you can own the data on the cart as long as you dont try to copy it off the cart, and its that ONE carts data that you are allowd to own.

Having ROM files from other peoples dumpd carts is usually illegal. Most copyrights last something like 30 years unless its renew'd. You will have to wait for the copyright for the cart to die to legally do anything. Unless they manufacturer publically announces that the data is now freeware, I would think its safe to say ROMs are a naughty thing...

I think the Commodore 64 series went freeware and they are actually been ported to java code (or emulated through java) and playable online, or free for download.

im gonn'a shut up now, i can go on forever when it comes to emulation ;}
