  Maybe, but it’s not just emulating the rom, I thinks there’s enough value add for their $9 asking price.

    $9 on sale, but $15 normally.

    Still, being able to argue they’re not for profit is what typically has protected emulators from being sued to oblivion (and with Nintendo, even that’s risky)…

      Has being non-profit been a legal defense used somewhere before? At least in the US the case law is based on commercial, profit-driven emulators being explicitly ruled as legal when Sony tried suing them. I see this said constantly and I think it’s genuinely just the result of propaganda from Nintendo or something.

      Yeah, the archival argument won’t fly here.
