Abandonware is software whose copyright was held by a company which no longer exists. There is no legislation in place to enforce so-called copyright infringement on abandonware. Check your local laws to be sure of regulations on backup copies of video games in your area. We will keep it legal by using an NES-compatible ROM that was made recently by an independent freeware developer as an original Homebrew title and a legal alternative to piracy.ĭISCLAIMER: It is not legal to download or store a "backup copy" of an NES ROM, usually, even if you actually physically own the game. Anyone could use a search engine to search the terms: "NES" "ROM" " game title" after browsing a reviewer's Top 100 Best NES Games List, for instance. There were about 900 official games released for NES and many different websites online that offer these ROM files for free. STEP #3: Get a Nintendo game ROM to run in your emulator: Name the new folder "NES ROMS" or something like that you can remember.Īfter naming the new folder, press Enter to save it. Right-Click the background and select New>Folder from the menu.
