Hi All,
First of all, let me congratulate the Dolphin team on such an impressive project and its results.
Now, I understand that this question might have popped up before (but it is virtually impossible to find a thread using just Nintendo and take/opinion as they keyword), and if so, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me to the thread so I can catch up to it. But after I heard about Dolphin from Slashdot, this got me really curious. So what is Nintendo's official position regarding this emulator? Does it have any position? Are they positive, negative neutral?
I would think from a purely rational point of view that they should be positive, especially since it seems very obvious from the warnings in the forums and all that you do not condone usage of pirated games and stuff like that, besides the fact (at least I believe it is) that Nintendo sells the consoles at a loss, so stifling a new platform for which they can sell more official games would not be a smart policy.
Anyway, Kudos to the Dolphin team!
