They're not technically illegal as long as you also buy the physical games. If you own the physical copy, and then just download the same ROM for your emulator then as far as I know it's not illegal. 

 

Example: If I download the GBA emulator for Iphone, and download Pokemon for it, then it would be illegal, as I don't own the game for the original GBA, but if I own the game on GBA, and then download it for the emulator then it would be allowed.


I believe you have to dump the ROM from your own copy for it to be legal, and it depends which country you are in, I think illegal in US.  Legal in UK, EU is a mix but I think mostly legal.


Yeah, you're right. But I noticed the OP is from the US so it doesn't help him -_-
