| Approach | Example | |----------|---------| | Official re‑releases | Nintendo Switch Online, Sega Genesis Classics | | Digital storefronts | GOG, Steam (many retro collections on sale) | | Legal homebrew & PD ROMs | MAME’s non‑commercial library | | Emulation with your own dumps | Dump your cartridges via Retrode or similar hardware |

Most ROMs (especially Nintendo ones) are copyrighted. Downloading them is technically piracy, even if you own the original cartridge. A few sites use loopholes like “only for 24‑hour testing,” but that’s rarely a legal shield. romspurecc
