    It’s a solid business model: People pirate roms, because they can’t buy them.

    If Nintendo would sell their old ass games as roms, we wouldn’t have the problem of them suing emulators into oblivion.

      Sure, I guess, but I’ve never had any problem getting these roms in particular. They’re all out there ready to go. I had to learn how to burn a retropie image but that was the extent of it. Other than that, I played them all for “free” - essentially, and the archival efforts of the community were way more appreciated than a Steam bundle would be. For me that is.
