The fact they spelled the whole non-issue out entirely in the question is a funny self-awareness ngl

Sometimes I hate Nintendo just as much as I love Nintendo. This is one issue where they're just so willingly obtuse.

"The problem is that it's illegal." -the people who directly control whether or not the act in question is legal

We all know that even if it was legal, Nintendo would still be trying to shut it all down. This is just the only actual justification they can come up with LMAO

Doing what's right sometimes requires breaking the law.

The thing is. As useful as they are for us. Yes, the emulators are not illegal, as long as they're not using source codes from the original systems.( I refer you to Bleem!) The roms, yes, are illegal. Plus, any emulators that use original source codes(Yuzu being one of them)

It is always morally correct.

Emulators are not illegal though.

it's not illegal if the original copyright holders no longer exist or no one holds the rights to the product anymore. so how can be illegal then?

What was it again? Piracy is a supply and demand issue? The easiest way is to stop it is supply the product themselves, especially when doing that MAKES them money over spending it on lawsuits trying to stop it.
