According to US Copyright laws, commercial ROMs are not illegal if you own the original cartridge and you create the ROM YOURSELF. However, this is generally a complicated process. Downloading or distributing a copy of of any commercial ROM, whether you own the original cartridge or not, is illegal. There is no "24 hour trial" rule. That is a myth. For this reason, no commercial ROM are found on this site.

It depends. A hacked ROM contains two parts; the altered code which is not copyrighted, and the unchanged code which remains copyrighted. Therefore, distributing or downloading a complete, playable hacked ROM is illegal because a portion of the ROM is still copyrighted. However, the files on this site contain ONLY the altered code which is not copyrighted. Therefore, it is legal to download any of the hacked ROMs on this site. See similar questions...

For the MAME™ ROMs, I use the latest version of ClrMAME Pro not only to verify the ROMs themselves but also the .zip archives that contain them. Regarding the Good and TOSEC sets, I use GoodWindows with the appropriate database for each set and TUGID for the TOSECs. All of the files for these sets have been extracted from their zipfiles, renamed/verified then zipped back up. This was the most accurate way I could think of to be sure of what I have.
