Did Nintendo officially give up on litigating for NES ROMs? I'm wondering how something like this stays on the internet while supplying ROMs.

- arketyp 17y agoI've heard (can't find a source) that Shigeru Miyamoto (creator of most Nintendo's hit titles) personally has a lighthearted stance to the whole emulator/ROM scene and basically thinks it is nice that people still play the games.
- rms 17y agoSounds very plausible. It just seems odd that Nintendo would allow this to go on while still making all of these games available for purchase via the Wii store.
- nuclear_eclipse 17y agoI don't think the Wii's target market really crosses much with the people who would really use ROMs on a PC as a substitute for the real thing...
