Comment on The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing

  If I obtain all the original schematics and software and make 1 Nintendo internals for commercial purposes wothout their permission it would be illegal.

  If they do it, it costs them the price of a couple of dinners at most.

    This is all just speculation. I have no idea how much it would cost for them to build new systems for every playable game in the museum.

    Aside from the could argument, I don’t really understand why they would do it.

      Its probably against the Emulator’s License unless they built their own from scratch, and a Windows PC is actually pretty overkill.

        I suspect they have their own emulators.

        I mean they have old games available for new platforms and have had that for multiple generations.
