    Emulation is not illegal. The distribution of some copyrighted material used in emulation however is. That's why we have a strict "no roms" policy.

    If can, I just hope that you can resize the banner to a smaller size for your signature.

    Taken from the legal certain site.

    Is emulation really legal?

    Yes it is. The case of SONY V. CONNECTIX found that unauthorized emulation is perfectly legal. It was the decision of the court that CONNECTIX had the right to emulate the SONY Playstation and that reverse engineering of the Playstation BIOS for such a cause fell under fair usage. As a result of this case CONNECTIX was allowed to release it's Virtual Gaming Station for the Mac OS.

    Ok, so it's legal, but is it right?

    Emulation simply makes one hardware platform act like another. There is nothing wrong with making the hardware you own behave the way you want it to. That is exactly what software is for, it makes the hardware you own behave in a useful manner. Emulation is not used simply for playing console games on a PC. Emulators exist for all kinds of hardware and all types of platforms. Console emulation is only part of a very large emulation community.
