Please cite the specific legal precedent which you are referring to then.

mclove writes "Looks like Nintendo has recently been granted a patent that gives them new leverage in their fight against emulators: Patent 6,672,963 mainly appears to cover emulators like UltraHLE that are custom-tailored for particular games, but they're already using it to suppress a new Game Boy Advance emulator for the Tapwave Zodiac, Firestorm gbaZ, and there's no reason to think they won't start leveraging it against anyone else trying to emulate their systems." The reprinted lawyer's letter from Nintendo also notes: "Whether you have an authentic game or not, it is illegal to copy a Nintendo game from a cartridge or to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet."

Sorry, but I don't have a link to the original source.

This quote is all over the internet on respectable gamer sites. A fuzzy memory of reading such an article combined with 30 seconds of Googling is all it took for me to find it.

Shens, they used to sell devices that would hook up through a serial port and DL rom to your PC from the cartridge, and they had some standalone one's that would put them on floppies or CD-Rs too IIRC.

Agreed. It is the "you must delete this image after 24 hours" phrase that was used so often that isn't true.

That being said, this still is probably not an appropriate topic for the forums. Plus, if you can use Google, you can find many things, ROMs included.
