If you own the original, you should be able to have them. For instance, my Genesis is extremely delicate. After all, it's older than me! Barely tapping it will make it freeze. If ROMs were legal, I could have ROMs of my old Genesis games. Oh, and don' t say, "Just get a remake or buy it on the Wii's virtual console!" because:
1. I have some obscure games that most likely won't be ported
2. The Wii's virtual console requires me to BUY it, even though I own it on the Genesis
But, the rules state not to discuss such things, so let's just forget this and continue to discuss the Forum's rules.
