    I just noticed you put "These are legal" in the topic description...well then if they are legal, can we post N64, PS1, and systems like that?

    Edit:
    I just remembered a mod posting that when someone else posted roms before, that is why I posted it.

    Roms are illegal.. They are only "legal" to keep for 24 hours if you don't own the original copy. After that, you have to delete them (and how many ppl do actually delete them?). That's why it's illegal. Same issue with ISO files for CD games.

    That's why rom sites shut down over time. It's hosting illegal files.

    The emulators themselves are legal.

    I used to have a huge collection of roms, I deleted them.. 3 or 4 days ago.
    They were ranging from GBA to PSX roms and emulators, lol.

    Man, they were taking up way too much space on my hard drive, so I had to get rid of them. It was probably for the best though, so many late nites playing Super Mario. 3, gotta love the raccoon suit.
