Is this substantially different from e.g. Dolphin downloading Virtual Console and WiiWare games? (In Dolphin's case, this works because Dolphin can emulate the Wii Shop channel. You used to be able to make purchases directly in Dolphin, and you can still redownload previously-purchased software.)
- crtasm 5y agoYes because Dolphin is not distributing the rom/code for the Wii Shop channel. Users who decide to emulate it need that + various other things to make it work: "Wii Shop Channel has functionalities that requires proper network certificates extracted from an IOS to work." "Keys from a real Wii are required." "a proper NAND is required." https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Wii_Shop_Channel https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Wii_Shop_Channe... If Dolphin was distributing any of that they'd be getting a letter from Nintendo.
