A comprehensive SNES ROM pack is like a museum of gaming history. You can expect to find several "heavy hitters" across various genres:
- Copyright Infringement: In most countries, including the United States, the ROM files contain copyrighted software owned by the developer or publisher. Distributing these files or downloading them without owning the original cartridge is generally considered copyright infringement.
- Fair Use and Backups: While some argue that creating a backup of a game one legally owns is permissible under "fair use" or archival exemptions, this legal defense is often narrow. Nintendo’s official stance is that downloading ROMs of their games, even if you own the original, is illegal.
- Abandonware: There is a common misconception that games no longer sold are "abandonware" and free to take. Legally, copyright typically lasts for decades, and Nintendo actively enforces its IP rights.
