envytomdead2 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I was playing genesis, sms and 7800 on retroarch and I thought this is pretty convenient but I have never felt comfortable downloading roms illegally. Are there any good tools people have used for this? I'd like to be able to rip Genesis, SMS, 7800, 2600, nes and snes games. Does anyone have any recommendations?

mr_me Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) What difference does it make if you rip/dump the cartridge or someone else does it for you? Edited September 3, 2019 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in the united states, this is what the law says "... it is not an infringement for the owner of a copy of a computer program to make or authorize the making of another copy or adaptation of that computer program ..." This is followed by conditions on usage but clearly you do not have to do the copying yourself. Besides if you are the one doing the downloading than you are the one making your copy.

Well if that is the case nevermind! I have always heard downloading roms was illegal even if you owned the game. Anyone know where you can get NES roms? It seems like the big N is forcing rom sites to remove nintendo games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
