The only reason it might me considered illegal is if it's copyrighted, which
I'm sure it is.  When you make a copy of the original ROM, even if there are
changes, there will probably be some original code left, so theoretically
they could get you for that.

On the other hand, they'd be stupid to do that if you're not going to sell
them, 'cuz that would just get you mad at them.  So I'd probably go ahead
and do it.  Besides, it would be fun.

Oh yeah, it would void the warranty.  8-)
