How does one obtain the file though? Through a cart reader to copy the contents of one's existing game cartridge? Obviously the vast majority are just going to use pirated rips from Torrent, but the legitimacy of the emulator does kinda depend on how it's supposed to be used. If there's literally no way to get games from carts in one's possession into the emulator, it's basically for playing pirated titles.
Can't help but feel Nintendo should buy up/invest in these emulators and sell their back catalogue to a far wider audience. Easy money! And the hard work has been done for them.
alas, Nintendo would never do that. They are removing every fanmade thing under the sun, most recently a game called No Mario's Sky.
Also a friend told me all these anecdotes I am going to share:
- at the time when the NES was at its peak Nintendo used some practices that were borderline darn mafia, like if you programmed a game for the NES, then in the next 5 years you should forget to program for another company that was not Nintendo, much less create versions for the competition. :smile2:
- Nintendo has also always been guilty of having their own development tools and sold other that were trashy to 3rd party companies, so in this way Nintendo games or games from the companies Nintendo wanted to allow using their first class tools, shone over the others. :smile2:
- Rare and Argonaut were not in the list of chosen by Nintendo Japan and they hated them.
From Argonaut, for example, they stole the concept of Mario 64 in their own face, as from Rare they directly left them at the altar.
Has the legend that Miyamoto was upset with that British company that took a Donkey Kong game from their sleeve, to a level that Nintendo Japan could never achieve in their effin' dreams. :smile2:
- He also had a boss, the Yamabuchi or whatever he is called who directly coerced hypermarkets personally, who went in his limousine and his court to the stores of the time to tell them that they wanted the Famicom in the showcase and that if they saw any product from the competition there, then they would cut the supply. :smile2:
- The story of leaving Sony pulled in the dust JUST in the E3 by signing an agreement by betrayal with Panasonic is another milestone, with two balls haha :smile2:
