Emulation/How to get games?

Getting games, also known as ROMs are in a complex state. While some people download ROMs ripped from friends, online, others copy (also known as rip) themselves with a tool.

Note: If you download ROMs and if you don't have physical copies of the games, please do this in a private window. Otherwise, you may get in a big trouble. Doing this leaves no traces of history and cookies (at least) and others won't see if you accessed on a ROM website. When you are finished, close the window to clear all traces of history and cookies from that session! Also check if the emulator has a option to disable recording traces of history (the recent games you played).

If you have a phyiscal copy of the game and if you dumped it

That's perfect and legal! You now have the ROM yourself copied from a physical copy!

If you have a physical copy of the game and if you want to download a ROM

Sometimes it's legal, sometimes it's not legal. Decide!

If you don't have a physical copy of the game and if you want to download a ROM

Please see above, or else you may get in a big trouble.
