    Public Domain aka Homebrew Roms are fully legal, any other roms unless the company actually released them as freeware are certainly not

    Short answer: Not legal here, or anywhere for that matter. Please do not post commercial software or links to it at dcemu.

    Long answer: Well, if you're going by RIAA style application of US law worldwide then it certainly isn't legal anywhere.
    Realistically if you live in Zimbabwe or somewhere else that essentially tells the west where to go, I cannot see how that could be argued to be true.

    In the US, EU, Australia etc it is definitely illegal due to agreements, unless you are referring to PD (Public Domain) ROMs not commercial ones.

    Don't forget that Tetris999 is the "original noob" here, he doesn't know anything (except on how to make some cool signatures).

    Being arrogant, are we? That was unnecessary to say, in my opinion. He never wanted to be called the "original noob" here, and what the heck do you mean about him not knowing anything?
