Fuck Nintendo. I haven’t bought anything from them or for their systems in nearly a decade now, and a large part of it is their greedy assholery. Their bullshit has probably cost them a grand from me alone, and I’m thankful for the savings.
Emulation is the way 😎
How is it greedy if they don’t want their current system games to be stolen?
Emulation isn’t inherently theft. Nintendo leverages emulation themselves.
They don’t want people to play their old games either. Nintendo creates an artificial scarcity by only occasionally releasing older titles to their newer consoles, despite that those older titles are quite literally running on emulators… Emulators that use a lot of the open source code the community they hate has created.

Do you have a source for this claim?
I might. Was quite a number of years ago when this was a hot topic on GBATemp when someone looked at the code of the NES mini.
