Roms

[animemulator]

Are roms illegal if u don't have the cartridge

[onewecallgod]

roms are always illegal unless you dump them yourself

[Chaos]

Acoriding to where i been, it not illegal if you already own the roms, as you will be having it as an backup, but it is illegal if you don't own the game.

but the thing about that is: the fast majority of people who download roms dont own the game, so its assumed (guilty until proven innocent) that you want it illegally

Indeed, I agree with onewecallgod

[animemulator]

K i'll make sure not to download any i don't have.
How many people here have roms but not the cartridge.
Cause come on who still owns Atari cartrides and Pong

[M.H.A.Q.S.]

I download roms that i don't have on a cartridge. :lol:

THe law will not protect you unless you make the backup yourself, from your own physical cartridge/disc/whatever

Devices which allow this (namely, CART dumpers) are illegal.

You do the math

Rom dumping hardware to be exact :)

[M.H.A.Q.S.]

And ROM dumping hardware is not illegal, it is expensive and it needs lot of technical knowledge.

[belmont]

Not exactly...
Rom dumping hardware for GBA (widely known as flash cards) is cheap nowadays (70 to 100 euro).
By using the same cable you would use to write the card you can easily dump GBA games,I've tried it with my original cards and worked for most of them.You don't really need technical knowledge for older games,only for newer ones that use strange save tupes and have copy protection.
