  From the article:

  Reverse engineering projects such as these are technically made legal because the developers involved do not use any leaked content or copyrighted assets. They also require players to provide their own legally-sourced ROMs for them to work.

    What is legal and morally correct does not matter, only if you somehow have a billion money, for lawyers. Especially against Ninshittom

      This specific PC “port” comes from a team that has done several other PC ports of N64 games in recent months, all released under a similar legal framework. Nintendo has yet to challenge any of those previous releases, so one can imagine that they may actually be safe from Nintendo’s fury.
