if you ask emu, i wouldn't be surprised if they gave their blessings for
copying the old ROMs. in my experience, they're cool like that, especially
if you point out that you would only make it available unmodified and with
full attribution. it's not like they have anything to gain from stopping
(haha! trying to stop!) anyone, this stuff has been out of production for
so long. they score points if they give you a nod, and unlike most
companies, i think they understand that.

I doubt if they would give their blessing
to copy their ROMs....more likely have their lawyer send you a letter. The
material in their ROMs are still sold in other products and Rob Papen and others
still receive royalties...
