ROMs are legal at least here in the USA. Doesn't stop big companies from bullying little sites and becoming copyright trolls. The Internet archive will not be easily bullied to take down legally archived items thankfully. The trick is you have to create the ROM yourself apparently. Sharing it is bad. I would assume copies made by anybody would be identical, so it would be interesting to see such a case in court against The Internet Archive, not that I want them to get sued, but would love for them to win if they did. Nintendo is the most aggressive about ROMs than anybody. |

They are, but they’re also the most proactive in making their old games available on new hardware. It wouldn’t be fair to call Super Mario Bros “abandonware” because Nintendo has done a lot to keep the game alive and accessible to new generations.
