      As for Nintendo's advice on emulation, that's like asking a cow about the ethics of eating a hamburger. Of course they're going to say that "it's wrong"... or "moo". Actually, "moo" is probably more likely, but I'm sure they wouldn't be keen on the idea.

      No. That's like asking a cow who is also a major shareholder in the McDonalds corporation about the ethics of eating a hamburger.

          I love that anaology!

          N64 emulation is the next step :)

            Game copiers enable users to illegally copy video game software onto floppy disks

            Wow, floppy disks, I haven't heard that word for many years... the good old 1.44mb :P

            I do pirate everything I can simply because I don't have the money to own all those Retro games. some people pretend like it's a huge felony something comparable to a first degree murder, it's no biggie no reason to feel guilty it's not like you have killed someone lol. Most ISP's won't even care what you're downloading at all. I bet everyone here has watched a couple videos on his favorite music on YouTube, YouTube is full with videos containing copyrighted material.

            Nintendo should focus more on creating good new games instead of focusing on something they cannot combat at all. I mean, if you go to Google and look for roms there are always a couple famous rom sites popping up at the first page. These sites are pretty old, they're still running. I was even surprised that they provide PSX ISO's.

            Now reselling roms, thats an entire different story.

                Though it would be cool if they will have a starfox 2 rom we can get.

                  Maybe they're running the server on some offshore server??

                  Don't worry I'm sure they will hack the mini SNES within the first month, soon or late the game will be dumped for sure.

                    Why wait that long? It's been in the MAME Software Lists for quite some time now...

                        Yes, merged with MESS these days, which supports consoles.
