Re: are the non-verified games here viruses?

Generally speaking, as others have pointed out, it's possible.
However, it's extremely highly unlikely that this is the case due to the fact that they'd only be hitting an extremely small market for distribution and, since most emulation communities are pretty close-knit, the offending files would be ID'd and removed fairly quickly. I would hope.
That being said, a good antivirus and common-sense (or "common-sense" if you want to get picky about it) downloading will keep you safe.

I'm really paranoid about this, I just downloaded nba street 1 for the ps2 and there's no verification in the game desc.
