In those place it's usually sharing which is illegal, downloading is fine as long as you already own the media.

And where would you download from, that is seen as legal sharing of someone else's IP?

The closest you could get is by locating the ROM file in some PC remakes, assuming there's no "protection" on them.

Again, playing around the "legal" way to do things. In reality, it's different.
