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

pull a WordPress and force a TOS in the license to say you cannot be affiliated with Nintendo in any way in order to use this software.

they want to emulate their hardware? then they can build their own emulator.

I believe they do have their own emulator. It logically would be what powers the Nintendo arcade

folks thought the same for the Genesis and Atari flashbacks but some tinkering found they were using FOSS emulation. IMO FOSS projects should start charging companies that use their products dependent on scale.

The thing is, we know Nintendo does have in-house developed emulators that they used for Virtual Console and then NSO and the Classic Edition.

It’s fairly likely they didn’t take the effort to port those to PC for the museum, but still.

Agreed I would totally support emus using a business software license just because of how they’re treated by business.
