Legal, no. Paid, I don't know, you could buy a cheap 2600 with games on eBay?
Free on P2P

Emulators are legal. But ROMS are not.

ROMS are not illegal. Downloading copyrighted ROMS that the publisher hasn't given permission to is illegal. Like the P2P downloading debate there are many legal ROMS that the creators freely distribute.Originally posted by progex
There are Emulators and ROMS of systems/games by companies long gone that some sites call abandonware. These are no more legal than downloading any other copyrighted games, there's just likely nobody that cares.
Nothing in the Atari line should be considered abandonware. They have an active catalog of retro releases from CDs of classics to the new gadgets that look like the old joysticks with built-in games that hook directly to your TV.
That said, my favorite Atari 2600 emulator is called Stella, available easily with a Google search and there are more than 500 ROMS out there that work with it. I only tell you that here because many of them are independently produced and offered freely by their creators.

there's nothing illegal about them... just like a dvd burner. Not illegal.
However, if you get a pirated game to use with it... that's illegal.Comment

On all the ROM sites it says they are legal to download but illegal to have on your computer for over 24 hours. Any truth to this. Perhaps only internationally? Or perhaps just trying to make it look legit?
Just found it interesting that ALL ROM SITES have the exact same disclosure before downloading...Comment

The 24 hour bit is one of those things that has been repeated so often that it becomes popular belief (like you can't convince some people that Walt Disney is not frozen in cryogenicsOriginally posted by BlueWire
). It is completely untrue.

Emulators are legal and roms are too if they are your 'backup'. Meaning you have to own an original copy of the game for it to be legal. Buy one of those 20 in 1's or old games on ebay if you want to be legal.
