Is game emulation illegal?

The emulators aren’t illegal, but it is illegal to keep ROM files for games that you don’t already own. They are for backup purposes only – in no way does ElectricROMs.Com condone the pirating of games. If you like a game, go out and support the gaming industry by buying it. You can read the disclaimer on the way into the ROM Files part of this site for a general idea of what you can and cannot do.
