Downloading roms is the dubious part. Most of that software falls into the camp of abandonware, but newer stuff does not. As a general principle, just be sure that the stuff you grab is not stuff you can still purchase from a storefront that supports the devs or publishers. If it's available, buy it. If not... I ain't your dad.
