I'm betting the emulators will use this. They develop against the ROMs without permission too, after all.
Of course they won't incorporate unlicensed copyrighted things from the leak in their own code, but they don't need to.
- saagarjha 6y agoEvery emulator will tell you to acquire your ROMs legally.
- zurn 6y agoIt's of course possible to acquire the N64 Verilog legally too.
- saagarjha 6y agoI'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, because I'm not aware of any ways to do this save for writing the Verilog from scratch.
- zurn 6y agoLegally speaking, you could have legit access to the verilog by working for one of the existing licensees - eg Nintendo, chip companies, fab companies. Or by buying or otherwise acquiring (eg patent trolling settlement) a license to it from Nintendo. It's not really likely, but it's within the realm of possibility. Somewhat less likely than legally acquired game ROMs, sure, but only a matter of degree...
