the post is titles about legality, the question seems to be more about morality. the only thing you can use roms for is fixing your boards AFAIK, and the public domain ones can be used on MAME in private. |

Also the "released" roms seem to have had additional restrictive text put on them by the mame devs that were not put there by the people who released them. Jamie Fenton's website straight up says "I have chosen to permit MAME users to duplicate and play the ROM images for Robby Roto free of charge." It doesn't say anything about commercial use or where they can be downloaded from or that they can only be used privately. |
