Not sure if I'm right but I read that an emulator is legal, it's the roms that are illegal. Thought maybe they got the licenses or something.

If rom's where Illegal to down load I would have been thrown in prison by now. Since I download a lot of roms to play classic games that I don't own. So I highly doubt they're illegal to download.

Roms are indeed illegal.

Well I guess they don't care since I'm still downloading them. And not one thing has happened to me yet.

IIRC emulation is not illegal if you own the license or property to begin with, considering you have already paid the company to do what you want with their hardware/software

^ This is correct. You can use roms/emulators if you own the original game.
