reprinted from slashdot:
"Looks like Nintendo has recently been granted a patent that gives them
new leverage in their fight against emulators: Patent 6,672,963 mainly
appears to cover emulators like UltraHLE that are custom-tailored for
particular games, but they're already using it to suppress a new Game
Boy Advance emulator for the Tapwave Zodiac, Firestorm gbaZ , and
there's no reason to think they won't start leveraging it against
anyone else trying to emulate their systems." The reprinted lawyer's
letter from Nintendo also notes: "Whether you have an authentic game or
not, it is illegal to copy a Nintendo game from a cartridge or to
download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet."
