100% agree with this. When I think of emulation and mods, the first thing I think about is Nintendo. That's how a LOT of people discover these older titles. As much as I love playing things on original hardware, the market for those devices and games have gotten absurd.
I would much rather someone emulate a nintendo game to have the chance to experience it over nothing at all. It's not like Nintendo is losing money from players emulating games that aren't even available anymore. It's all about dat preservation!
