So, speaking of jailtime, where are the ROMs coming from? I see that the games simply work, and you can pick any you want.<p>I&#x27;ve been trying to make this concept, but distributed, so it can&#x27;t be taken down. Curious if this will get kicked offline soon.<p>Nintendo is possibly the most litigious game company in history, and aggressively shuts down anything remotely associated with their brand.

Look how easy it was to get fired for some harmless pranks just a couple decades ago: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ZaqdaVKP904" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ZaqdaVKP904</a> Nowadays no one would bat an eye at most of those.
