Show HN: NES Party – Online Multiplayer NES Emulator Using WebRTC
So, speaking of jailtime, where are the ROMs coming from? I see that the games simply work, and you can pick any you want.I've been trying to make this concept, but distributed, so it can't be taken down. Curious if this will get kicked offline soon.Nintendo is possibly the most litigious game company in history, and aggressively shuts down anything remotely associated with their brand. I wouldn't be surprised if this is already forwarded to their legal department.Which, IMO, is a tragedy. There's no reason that projects like this should get shut down. Society is losing out.EDIT: It's kind of interesting to think about how far we've progressed in terms of video game flexibility. And I mean socially, not technically. Look how easy it was to get fired for some harmless pranks just a couple decades ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaqdaVKP904 Nowadays no one would bat an eye at most of those. (The one attacking a coworker is admittedly a bit much.)This is relevant because it seems like companies are way, way too attached to their IP, in precisely the same way that people were a bit too formal in the old days of gaming. By not letting people remix others' ideas, you're losing out on everything that could have been made.
