Can I ge the list opinion on this issue? Eckhart brought this to my
attention, and now I'm begining to give it a second thought :).

Nintendo has just received a patent on Emulation:
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6,672,963.WKU.&OS=PN/6,672,963&RS=PN/6,672,963 -0500

It seems to be related to Gameboy, Color Gameboy, and Gameboy Advance,
and not the little grey NES box, but I don't know as much about law as I
should.

Do you guys think that this patent relates to Newtendo?

Just an FYI, I'm going to move my page to dev.newtontalk.net. When I do
that, just in case I ever do draw any attention from Nintendo (though I
don't think it's likely), I'm going to take down any links to rom
images, and any mention of them. Juust better safe than sorry :)

I'm sure it'll still be possible to google them and find some:)
