So without going back into the reasons why, since that doesn't seem to pan out well around here:
Some of you that use ROMS and emulators were saying that you only believe in using them only for specific cases such as if you already own the game, or for homebrews and hacks.
I can agree with that. I have ROMs on my original Xbox that are old NES, SNES, and Genesis games I actually own. And I do have a copy of Zelda: Parallel Worlds, Super Mario World hacks, and the Super Metroid hack on my PC.
Those of you that do this: Do you consider games that you own on collections (such as Capcom Classics or Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection), as "owning" the game; and passing your standards for having ROMs of them?
