The plot continues to thicken over this. I don't believe emulation should be considered illegal. The only illegal part is how you get the ROMs. Another friend mentioned to me the part that burns him is that Nintendo has been sitting on GameCube and hasn't done anything with it since the Wii Virtual Console!

Nintendo should just stop enforcing such insane regulations for games they don't produce any copies of anymore. Nobody is loosing a profit from emulating the 12 year old year game, except for the random amazon seller. same goes from the decryption keys. It's just deliberate trolling at this point

if I recall correctly, some of this translates from Japanese intellectual property law, which states that if companies don't enforce their IP they lose their right to it. It explains why Nintendo is so often heavy handed with their legal enforcement. However it's obvious there is still a market for these old games and I don't understand why they dont fulfill this need.
