I don't see why not. Owning and using an emulator cannot be made illegal. If anything, Nintendo should be happy that it can now sell its software to millions of new users. ST P.S. In about an hour, I will know if I made a very big mistake on CREAF or not. The only down side I see is that there is so much negativity built into the stock that even if they disappoint, they may rise or not fall too much. In any event, I am "hoping" (ugly word <G>) for a trip to 13, followed by a dive to ~9.

I agree that the legality aspect of the thing is suspect, but the screenshots are amazing. I regularly use an Apple II emulator and one of the general arcade game emulators and both have been hampered by the ROM download and piracy issues. This probably won't be any different but it would be really cool if it was. Nintendo is notorious for its legal ham-handedness so many people are expecting this thing to be quashed. Imagine though if Nintendo "saw the light"... Chip
