      Well I think for one, you need to supply your own rom so it doesn’t contain any Nintendo stuff?

        Does this differ from emulators with which you have to supply a rom? I thought they sued for that too

          IDK but Ship of Harkinian has been around for years, and Nintendo has left that one alone too. This MK64 port is being developed by the same team (HarbourMasters).

          Yeah you aren’t wrong, this happened with a switch emulator. I don’t think it had legal footing but it’s enough to scare people off so they don’t need to deal with a law suit
