Virgin used to have SNES games in the seat screens. Mario World got me through one very long ass flight.
Does that mean that Nintendo could sue/stop anyone that makes a Nintendo handheld Emulator? like the guys that make all those good emulators that run on PSP with a CFW or PC. My understanding is that making emulator is legal but using the roms is illegal.
With the Wii-U riding the tablet craze, I think they want to get as much content on that tab-controller as possible. Incoming WiiWare store on Wii-U to buy all the old games again!
Patent should be immediately invalidated due to non-novelty of the concept as per Section 102 of US patent law.
@NEOAKUMA,
it's for people and companies who so far were selling those emulators and roms via Appstore and other digital stores.

@Arttemis - I doubt Nii U will abandon Wii Ware and VC for a new version, it'll probably just be integrated as another store option for the eShop Wii U is likely to have.

are major gray areas. ROMs are legal if and only if the data is not protected under copyright. It is legal to make personal backup copies, but these cannot be distributed or sold. However, many companies challenge this last bit and most TOS agreements prevent even making copies. So...it is probably illegal in another sense.
I guess the patent office never heard of console emulation on laptops.
That, or it never existed before 2003.
I wonder which of the two really happened?

I am pretty sure (by which I mean 99% certain bc I might have played/seen evidence of) some hermbrewers slapped soemthing together for a PS1 emu back in '03.
Certainly, stuff like MAME, ATARI, and similar older consoles where emulated on PC's and labtops before 2000. It's just that PC's and the rise of social networking has made homebrewers and their works more relevant.
