Please note:
The copyright of the ROM images is owned by third parties, thus the above does not apply to them. You have to be entitled separately to use the ROM images together with the FPGA Cosmic Avenger design. Owning an original PCB might be ok, but I am not liable for any copyright violations that arise from your use of the FPGA Cosmic Avenger design.
I will ignore any requests for a copy of the ROM images.
