@cronot: You misunderstand US copyright law. Backup copies are only permitted for *private* or *personal* use. (Academic fair use is a separate issue, focusing on excerpts.) They may not be distributed to others, which is exactly what he's doing here. It doesn't matter if the site owner actually owns the games. In fact, it's presumed that he does, otherwise he's liable for other things as well.So...if you were to make a private emulator site, where you could play your own backup roms, and limit access to yourself, THAT would be okay.This isn't. Nintendo may not send a takedown notice to this guy's ISP, but one of the game publishers certainly will (probably EA, which owns the rights to many of the game lines featured on the site).
what will happen 20 years from now...I am able to download half-life3, halo 4 or GTA 5 online in a matter of second, and my next generation will find those games are boring because flying to Mar is more fun.

I'd imagine it would be a lot like GameTap, except done completely in the browser with NES games and completely free <a class="user" href="http://melodyswahd.com">http://melodyswahd.com</a>
