I'm amazed there are still sites alive in 2018 that openly host roms. There's still a few pretty established ones out there though.

There's nothing wrong with emulation. It's downloading the ROMS that's the problem.

It's not really hurting Nintendo going by the sales of the snes and nes mini. I guess they just don't want people with the entire library on it.

Republicans give fuck all about Nintendo, but nice try making political talking point.

My terabyte hard drive came in today, call me paranoid but I'm worried about the potential outcome of these lawsuits.

I dunno. I know it's their legal right to go after rom distributors, but I can't say it's morally acceptable if they don't offer the roms for purchase themselves

Really I'm surprised Emuparadise stayed up so long (and keep in mind earlier they took down Ninty roms for a while)

But like that was the top pond leaves of the internet ocean, it's still there a bit deeper

This. Nintendo doesnt even like their games being shown.

Forgot what major tournament it was (Pound3 back in 2013 I think?) but Nintendo cried about them wanting to show Melee on stream. Like ffs its out of production and not gonna hurt your sales at all.

Emulation isn't dying this year. A few ROM sites went down, but that won't stop those who develop emulators from legally continuing their work. Remember that the rich toolset provided by emulators is very important to homebrew developers, speedrun theorycrafters, and hobbyist hackers in general. For people so motivated to dig deeply in to the minutia of games, the time and money cost of acquiring a game and legally feeding it to an emulator are negligible. Thus, the demand for accurate emulators will always at least partially come from a legitimate audience.

Besides, there are other ways to get ROMs illegally, so Nintendo is just pissing in the wind.

I mean if you think taking down a few sites is killing it then you're sorely mistaken.
