Roms are illegal unless you own the original copy, and it is used for backup purposes. I know, as I used to run a website (the UK's biggest Final Fantasy site), and I had a lot of problems with storing ROMS of games 1 to 6.

Anyway, my site is now closed. hehe.

I still have ROMS (only as back-ups obviously

), but do you know what is one better than ROMS? Downloading the full install programs to the games....(i.e - recently, I've done Rollercoaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, Monkey Island 1 and 2, and I'm currently downloading Discworld). There are some amazin games, if you have the connection speed. Only thing is, the installers are everything that came on the cd, so can go up to 600MB. I think this is probably illegal too....
