The plot continues to thicken over this. I don't believe emulation should be considered illegal. The only illegal part is how you get the ROMs. Another friend mentioned to me the part that burns him is that Nintendo has been sitting on GameCube and hasn't done anything with it since the Wii Virtual Console!

I can unfortunately understand why Valve would tip off Nintendo, to avoid being directly liable because it’s not the standard DMCA provision.

But, at this point, emulation, where you legally have the game and console, shouldn’t be illegal and they shouldn’t be preventing it.

As for the decryption keys, rock and hard place. Either that needs to not be illegal, or it’s impossible to emulate a game legally. Since emulation isn’t illegal, the former shouldn’t be either.
