You may download a game ROM ONLY if you are legally entitled so. By "legally entitled" I mean:
1. You own the actual arcade or gamepak of a ROM you are downloading. Under the copyright laws of the U.S., you are entitled to own a backup of any software you have paid for. Since ROMS can't be duplicated (not without special hardware), ROM images are provided to the public as a service.
Example: If you download Super Mario Advance, it is because you actually own that came cartridge.
2. Remember, the purpose of an emulator is to preserve games (so that they don't vanish), to have all your games on your PC and to keep a backup of games you own just in case the game fails or have already failed.
3. It's for educational purposes only (in case you are an emulator programmer). You must also agree to the following BEFORE proceeding:
You will NEVER sell these ROMS for profit. Most game companies don't mind the distribution of their game's ROMS because they no longer exist, but they WILL mind if you sell them.
You will NOT distribute ROMS together with emulators as a package. And again, NO selling.
You will NEVER hold GbaEmu responsible for any damage caused to your system, for any legal actions taken against you for not obeying the above stated rules, or for any other reason.
GbaEmus purpose is to provide a service to the Internet and gaming community.
