You keep ragging on nintendo for not giving away games but as far as I know they are the ONLY big company to give away games.

No way! After Sony's crap security let hackers get a hold of all of my credit card information, they totally gave me a few great games as an apology. ;D

In a nutshell, Nintendo claims emulation is illegal because it is a tool for piracy1 (in spite of court precedent), and that taking steps to offer legal ROMs would be "like taking steps to legalize piracy". Worse, even, they offer NO WAY TO PLAY THEIR CLASSIC GAMES with the exception of the "shop channel" for owners of Internet-connected Wii's. I am hereby starting a boycott on Nintendo brand products until such time as they change their stance on retro gaming. Until they either relax their opinions on emulation and take steps to legalize it, or offer some other type of authentic retro game package for cab. owners, I will not purchase a Nintendo product. I urge you to abstain from their products as well. Also, please spread the word!
The website even has an email where you can report, "Potential Infringements". What a joke! If They actually listened to their fans, there would be far fewer "infringements" occurring!
1This is highly debatable, especially if you own the original games

Where are you debating this? In a forum for copyright lawyers? No you are debating this in a forum where a good chunk of the clickers here have downloaded nintendoh roms for emulators. If you are old enough you might have spent your pocket money on the real deal when it came out, and still probably do if you are into their ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- kit - minus the GameCube.
Get yourself on the news. Go on a hunger strike, picket outside of the Nintendoh corporate building. The rest of us couldn't give a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. My bet Nintendoh doesn't give a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- either, but if you are stupid enough to draw attention to yourself and get hit with some $2M lawsuit, go ahead. Heck I bet we would all watch too. Perfect example to tell your kids of what not to do.
Go get em!
We will be right behind ya. Miles behind ya. :laugh2:
