The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing(www.pcgamer.com)

But they own it. I thought even I could download a ROM if I have the actual game no?

No, at least in the US, you can only back up your own ROM if you own the game, not download someone else’s backup. The real problem here is that Nintendo’s (idiotic) stance is ALL emulation/backups are piracy and here they are being hypocrites about it.
