Nintendo has gone one step further, and comes very close to making the dangerous argument that emulators are illegal (based on a generous interpretation of https://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp https://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp -- though IANAL) Of course, this is nonsense. There is no patented technology or trade secrets in any of these older platforms. Unless it contains software (the NES does not contain a BIOS or any other code) then there is nothing to protect. I operate a site that teaches people how to develop homebrew games for 8-bit platforms -- using no copyrighted code -- and this argument from Nintendo is worrying. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
