I can also verify that the Disney Afternoon Collection, Mega Man Legacy Collection, Mega Man X Legacy Collection, Contra Collection, Castlevania Collection, Namco Museum Archives Vol. Originally posted by Ness_and_Sonic:Sega is selling various Genesis/Mega Drive games on Steam. In terms of emulators, as long as they were able to be developed through clean room reverse engineering, then its legal to use that emulator. Point is, as long as it’s your backup of a ROM or disc image that you legally bought and own, it’s going to be completely legal to use in an emulator.

It’s legally gray in the US because while it can contribute to piracy, most people backing their games up using that method, is completely legal. Nodding the Wii like that might be illegal in some countries. Wii and Gamecube backups of games require the use of a Gamecube compatible softmodded Nintendo Wii. But they require the use of a BIOS backup ripped from their respective consoles to make them run legally (unless the emulator you use doesn’t require the use of a BIOS of course).
RETROARCH ROMS PS2
PS1 images, and PS2 Images are a breeze to back up on your own. On the Wii, I do know that Nintendo used a ROM dump of the original Super Mario Brothers rather than rely on source code.Īnything you own and backup personally or any ROM dump you make from your own devices, is already legal. They aren’t files that are in typical ROM formats or extensions though. Some of which are actually sold on Steam.
