Hard Core Rikki Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) For what reason? Its opensource too. Other than maybe "too fast progress", there isnt really anything. Addendum: "you of course have to use your own files from YOUR WII. We will not help you with getting the Wii-OS." Were you thinking of the x264, xvid and faac cases in particular, robert?

Alpha Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 How long before Nintendo issues a c&d?If they could, they would have already done it by now. The problem is they can't because Dolphin is 100% open source, coded by Ector, F1RES, and programmers around the world. That is why emulators are legal and commercial roms are not.

Emulators that do not bypass encryptions, drm, etc. are legal. Unless the hardware that the emulator is... erm... emulating is obsolete, then iirc, there's an exception to the dcmca. This is all US though. Not terribly applicable to other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm thinking more along the lines of it being a current hardware system, still sold in shops. But then, they've never done anything about the numerous DS emulators, so I guess you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 It's not like Nintendo hasn't attacked emulators that emulate its hardware in the past. The issue to them really isn't whether the emulator is open source or not. But yeah, they probably would have done something by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
