Muffinz0rz posted... Gamechamp3k posted... Nintendo actively profits from many of their old games thanks to emulation. So, no. How so? How do you think they're releasing their games digitally? I doubt they're going to the trouble of actually porting them. There's some evidence to suggest that at least once Nintendo has used a ROM file they found online for their own official release. That. It's most definitely emulation, even going as far as including save states as a feature, and homebrew solutions can even allow you to play other game ROMs (the most well-known instance being the ability to import the entire NES library onto the NES Classic, all fully playable). Emulation's come a long way. It's still somewhat a dirty word, but many companies have embraced it as an efficient method to preserve and sell their older properties. And that particular situation is pretty interesting. Basically what happened was their Virtual Console Super Mario Bros. ROM was found to be identical to a Super Mario Bros. ROM that's been floating on the internet for a long time, including an iNES header which was specifically created in the emulation scene. Nintendo denies they downloaded a ROM off the internet, yet they literally sell a ROM with the internet's fingerprint on it. --- http://i.imgur.com/ES0IWHz.jpg Kuro-channnnnnn... <3 <cite>Gamechamp3k posted [p:876783011] in Do you thi...
