No it isn't. We're all drug dealing terrorists that wake up every morning and look at a poster saying "Down with Nintendo!" as we get dressed, preparing to head out on the streets to deal kids flash drives with our terrible illegal software on it. Corrupting them into dirty illegal software users too who will spread the terrible, horrible drug that is the Dolphin Emulator that will eventually be the death of Nintendo and all gaming forever.

I think the OP gets the point, serious replies only from here on to avoid confusion please
![]() As MaJoR said, U.S. law is pretty clear on the issue of emulation. Dolphin contains no copyrighted code from Nintendo as far as we are aware of, and everything has been reverse-engineered, so copyright infringement and patents are not an issue. The Dolphin Forums and the Dev Team specifically call out and discourage piracy, so we avoid "inducing or facilitating copyright infringement". IANAL, but these problems are so common in the emulation community that those of us who have been around for a while know the relevant court cases and rulings by heart now. Again, I'm a U.S. citizen, so I can only speak for this country and its laws. If you live somewhere else, chances are yes, it's legal, but we read up on the laws if you want a clearer answer. 06-28-2017, 05:04 PM
