It seems legally that the only way to legitimately have a rom is to rip it yourself. For example, I own 1943: Battle of Midway and Flying Shark arcade machines, but I would likely have to dump the roms myself to legally be able to play then via emulation.
I have ps1 and ps2 games that I have ripped the isos for, but I have c64, Atari, and nes games that I can’t dump without significant expense.
