Emulation/How to get games?
Getting games, also known as ROMs are in a complex state. While some people download ROMs ripped from friends, online, others copy (also known as rip) themselves with a tool.
Note: If you download ROMs and if you don't have physical copies of the games, please do this in a private window. Otherwise, you may get in a big trouble. Doing this leaves no traces of history and cookies (at least) and others won't see if you accessed on a ROM website. When you are finished, close the window to clear all traces of history and cookies from that session! Also check if the emulator has a option to disable recording traces of history (the recent games you played).
