By making access to WII Shop Dolphin team expose themrselves to big problems !

[Paul12]

I don't think Nintendo will apreciate this at all

[Helios]

Dolphin will be fine. Thanks for the concern though.

If Nintendo cared it wouldn't be hard to ban people using dolphin from the shop.

[Helios]

Also wait. do you think this let's you download games for free

Because it doesn't. You still have to pay for points to download. And that won't change

[Shonumi]

I don't think Nintendo would have a problem here, since people are paying for software downloads. If anything, they'd probably turn a blind eye, even though they technically hate any emulator they didn't make themselves. Profit over principles.

Nintendo has bigger problems anyway, like the fact that people are using legit 3DS hardware to get anything from the eShop without paying...

No i never thought that. It makes no sense.

Personnaly i find this feature innovative and honest but as you may not know Nintendo considers Dolphin as piracy whatever it is.

You don't seem to realize what you're making here.

You can not enter a store, install yourself next to the seller like nothing's had happened and sell his products without his approvals.

I think it is way more serious than the free eShop thing mentioned above.

I hope you will think more about this, i don't want Dolphin website to be down. or worse, some troubles...

Best wishes.

We're not selling anything... This is literally Nintendo's servers. We're not making a dime. We're literally just making a connection to NINTENDO'S eShop so people can give NINTENDO their money. Not us. It's absolutely no different than if you used your real Wii

I don't think you understand this feature at all. 

And if you do and still think that, uh, thanks for your concern I guess but you clearly misunderstand the legal implications here, or lack thereof

[JMC47]

You're connected to Nintendo's Wii Shop Channel. You're connected to Nintendo's servers. You're buying Nintendo's games. From Nintendo. On a Valid Wii console ID.

Explain to me how this is worse than the freeshop on 3DS lol

[Helios]

Yeah uh, freeshop is FAR WORSE and Nintendo hasn't C&Dd that

[leolam]

And this is just correct emulation. The fact it didn't work before is just because we had a broken IOS HLE.
