My Megadrive emulator is 100% legal.

As far as I know the emulator may be legal but I doubt the ROMs you use are. IIRC the only "legal" way is to back up your own roms to play but even then it is slightly dodgy.

No it isn't.

I own a Megadrive, I own several games for it. I can legally emulate those games on my PC. It doesn't matter where I get the ROMS from as long as I own the original game.



My NES emulator on the other hand...

yes, you're right. as long as you own the console AND the game you want to emulate it's perfectly legit to load up a "dump" (made by you or by some one else around the world) and play it.

poor NES

heh I always thought you had to back it up yourself, thanks for clearing that up.
