ROM

Roms are virtual cartriges used for Emulators. They are basically copies of the real video games on your computer. To use a rom you need an emulator to play it. Emulators are available for the NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS. Emulators are available for the Virtual Boy to though they are much more rare.

= WARNING = It is illigal to download roms unless you own the original cartrige (or disc). Some rom sites post disclaimers saying the roms are legal for 24 hours but that is incorrect.
