Emulators are legal; ROMs are not.

Kinda funny how that works out eh?

Not particularly. Emulators are legal because they're freeware-- a program created by someone, not-for-profit.

ROMs are a different story. They are games that are ported without permission to an emulator. Basically, instead of buying the game, you can play it for free on your computer. So in other words, it's illegal because you're screwing the company who made the game out of their money. The ironic truth is: very few people actually care.

Oh I see, and yes that is a very ironic truth.

I thought roms were ok if you already owned a copy of the game, which he does in this case. But this may have been a widespread internet rumor to justify the use of them.

Technically you're only meant to use an image of the game that you specifically own. You can't, for example, use an image of the same game from a different region.
