You jinx'd it Damian.
What I don't get is that ROMS are illegal even if we own the game, system, cartridge, and all the hardware associated with the game, it's still illegal to get.
Now, I normally try to obey the rules, but that seems a little ludicrous. The only reason I want an emulator is to play the games on my computer, not needing to run all over my house just to have a little fun (Yes, I'm lazy, but who in the American populace isn't?) or buy expensive equipment to hook up the hardware to my computer. And what about all the games the companies have stopped producing? You can't hardly find the physical cartrdges, but the ROMs abound. So, what will the average person do? Download the ROM instead of spending a fortune on the actual cartridge. Not to mention the scouring of the internet to find someone willing to sell it. Personnally, I would love to support the company and buy the game if they still produced it. And about owning the game, I see no moral question about that. The law, however, forbids me to get it anyway. I just don't get it.
