The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing (www.pcgamer.com)

Are they? They aren't using Canoe and their own files?

files they've downloaded off the internet. its much easier for them and they only need to do a quick frontend to make it look official.

ezpz.

So you have access to the PC in the museum?

[-] Nima@leminal.space 2 points 2 months ago

in the past they have. i should have specified. i have no idea what they're doing in their museums. but considering their history, I wouldn't discount it.

You are right. Sorry for being so snarky. The modding community for the SNES Classic mostly preferred Nintendo's own emulator, Canoe. I just assumed Nintendo would continue to use it

All we can do is speculate for now. They will never see another dime from me personally. I just don't see why we are persecuting them for emulation of all things. Be mad they are fucking over other emulator developers, but a company emulating their own games isn't anything new
