legal issues, finding issues?

[spuddyt]

I want to find a ROM for super mario 64, in as far as I know this is legal as I already own a copy of the game (still have it too). If it is illegal for me to search for a rom, please tell me, and if possible, could anyone tell me a place to get one.
oh, and I wasn't quite sure if this was off topic (since its technical) or gaming (as its technical about a game)

ROMs are illegal unless you rip them yourself.

 

[Pohlkat]

ROMs are an iffy topic, legalities swing from region to region, country to country.

Seriously companies are more worried about people pirating modern games.

I doubt any of them would waste money trying to prosecute a guy who downloaded one frigging rom of an ancient game that he owns already anyway.

 

[J-Man]

ROMs are so old nobody really cares. However, piracy of modern games is most certainly stealing.

So presumably no one is going to tell me where I could find one.

Probably not, but half the fun is in the search. You never know what you'll uncover during situations like this.
