I have a feeling Nintendo will tear this down

[+Gemintronic]

It's on the Windows Store currently. No way to see if it's on the Xbone store. Basically, a front end for a multi system emulator.

Nintendo can't tear it down. All NES patents are expired and there's nothing illegal about creating and releasing an emulator.

 

The question is if Microsoft wants this to happen. They could refuse as a professional courtesy, for instance. Or out of principle since such a program will largely be used to play copyrighted software that was downloaded illegally, despite the presence of homebrews and other legitimate releases that could be enjoyed.

We all know that thank you.

 

How about Microsoft will tear it down? Kind of like Apple does.....the point is it wont last IMO.

here is information about it:

it will always be in the windows store for pc's, (windows 8.1/10) and other systems,

 

but they need to remove the xbox one capability for it to be listed.

 

later
