The most popular handheld gaming consoles today is the Nintendo DS also known as NDS. Sony Playstation portable or PSP has lost its number one position as the top handheld gaming console. In terms of sales and units moved Nintendo DS is now the number one. The growing popularity of NDS has made Nintendo DS games a popular target for piracy.

NDS Rom games or are basically copies of an original NDS game.

As mentioned earlier, an NDS Rom is a pirated copy of an NDS game so this makes them illegal. Also, these games often have viruses attached to them, making them a security risk for your computer and also your NDS.

However, even if there is a multitude of websites offering these free roms, nothing has been done to completely stop them. That is why even if people know these files are illegal, they still download it. Unless there is a complete crackdown on the software pirates who make them, will always be here to stay.

And yes, they are perfectly legal. So if you really want to download and safe some money, you have to be very careful. The first thing you will have to do is to make sure you are not downloading a pirated copy of a commercial NDS game. You don’t want to get into trouble, do you?.
