Emulators are bad, remember. Until they're useful, of course.

This means you can find the pc and get THEIR OWN EMULATOR, make it open source and fuck them royally.

You think they wrote their own emulator instead of just taking one of the free ones on the internet (who they will likely sue later). That’s cute.

Well yes, yes they did. It is called Canoe and is for example running inside the SNES Classic Mini. And that is not the only emulator they wrote. Writing an emulator is not some obscure magic, and it is way easier if you own all the schematics and other Information used to build the original hardware.

Is it a known thing that they discontinued canoe or something?

Why? You can just say its the official Nintendo emulator.

Nobody gives a shit if its legal or not, this is a Nintendo bashing club. We hate them and wish them to go bankrupt.

Sure but why would the source code be available? It’d be funny if it was but it’s probably a compiled program, right?

Implying they have their own emulator and it’s not just running retroarch or something

If they would do that it would be very useful in court.

It’s not illegal for Nintendo to run retroarch.

Its not illegal for anyone else either, but them running such software for profit might be a licensing issue depending on the exact version they use.

RetroArch and most of its cores are under the GPL or MIT, which allow commercial use.

Nintendo has their own emulators for running these games on newer consoles.
