    They’re not bogus. The emulator that shut down were selling a product using a proprietary encryption key owned by Nintendo.

    That’s why Dolphin still exists.

      I disagree. Sure, companies have a moral right to recoup their R&D costs on a console, but I fully reject the Divine Right of Shareholders. As long as the emulators aren’t sold for profit and no one is hurt, a multibillion dollar company like Nintendo has zero moral ground to tell us that we cannot emulate consoles that we have bought to play games that we also bought.

        The emulator they shut down was being sold for a profit. They haven’t gone after Dolphin, which is free.
