There are sites that offer free and legal games. These are games that were specifically released by the developer with the intention of being free. They are often referred to as freeware or shareware. You can also often find free trial versions. Some sites that you may find these at are Pogo, DFG, Freegames, Addicting Games, and Miniclip. There is nothing at all illegal or immoral about downloading these games for free, because this is what they were intending for. However, if you were to download games that are normally for sale, usually ones that need cracks or serials to work, you would be committing an illegal act.

In reference to licensed non freeware games:

No, downloading games off the internet is never ok. When you download a game off the Internet you are stealing money from those who spend their time to design those games, and need the money from game purchases. You are not only hurting the big corporations who make those games, but you are hurting the little guys too. The people who program the games rely on their paychecks to make a living and if everyone downloaded games off the Internet those people would have no money. You are also not only hurting people who work directly with the production of the game, but you are hurting anyone who the company helps out also. You are hurting the person who the company buys their coffee from, you are hurting the people who mow the lawn outside the building. Downloading games from the Internet is stealing and that is not only a sin, but it is a crime. If you are caught you could face years in prison and a huge fine. Also if morals and ethics aren't enough to convince you most of the Internet Game downloads are packed with viruses which will harm your computer from the second you make the mistake of downloading that game. Go to your store and buy the game, you would help the economy, the small guys and you could sleep soundly at night knowing that you are not the cause for a person's unemployment.

Can you jailbreak a Nintendo DS?

Okay, it is possible to get free games on the Nintendo DS, and even turn your DS into a phone, an mp3 player, and be able to play gameboy, gameboy colour, NES, SNES and homebrew games, but you need to go online and buy a Flash Cart (like Supercard, R4, or CycloDS) and a mini SD card. Then you can download ROMs (Game files) from many sources on the internet. You'll need to have some computer knowledge and later on even some programming knowledge, but it's all worth it.
