I would love to see an image of that setup, I have a spare raspberry pi laying about that I'm at a loss of what to do withIt is illegal to share the game software, and it is illegal to access shared copies of the game software. So actually downloading the ROM is technically illegal even if you own the cart. Using a copy is a legal grey area in most countries, but I don't think anybody would actually be prosecuted for doing this.
I have converted a SNES housing to an emulation box using a Raspberry Pi and a Retrode (USB SNES cart and controller interface). The carts go in the slot at the top of the SNES as normal, but are loaded by the emulator. To make loading faster, the ROM is cached on the SD card. This is technically illegal, but I'd like to see Nintendo try to prosecute me for this

That's true.Its not illegal if you don't get caught
not true . . . but i love it all the sameIts not illegal if you don't get caught
. . . nope the company that made cubic ninja dissolved and the games rights, royalties, and copyright became property of the console devs ie nintendoAlso what about if a game's company is out of business (like Toaplan) it might be legal considering that the copyright probably doesn't belong to anyone and theres no credits scene either.
I'm not sure, feel free to correct me on this one !!
I live in Brazil, it sure might not be good to live in, but at least I'm happy with my 25gbs+ illegal roms folder without having to worry at all.
If you go to the store and buy some food, it belongs to you. There's no license. Same with games. You but it, it's yours. Nintendo can't knock on your door and demand " their " game back. It's no longer theirs. Copies are not illegal, but cause authorities to get suspicious on the owner of a copied software. Don't share it, you're good.the little booklet you get with your retail games says you do not own the game you own license to use the game disk (cartage) however, and also say that you may not backup/copy/distribute/ect the game file
