So let's say I am Square Enix. I own the rights to Chrono Trigger. I can release an emulator with Chrono Trigger SNES ROM and can sell it as Chrono Trigger. I cannot have said emulator allowed to run Super Mario World, as that would get my program delisted from App Store.

This is not limited to just emulators though. We can classify the games in roblox as mini apps; so let's say if Roblox doesn't remove a game that clearly infringes copyright; they too will get removed from App Store. (Which is one of the many reasons why they try to remove the games that contain these content)

*Nintendo quietly shows Apple Yuzu's corpse in their trunk while staring sternly and slowly and audibly tapping a bloody baseball bat against the ground behind their back... *

Where can I find these emulators? I need names!

Looks like Delta will be one of the first, but I don't think it's available just yet.

Can apple even legally do this lol

Emulators aren't illegal. So why shouldn't they allow it?

If so then how did Nintendo manage to take down yuzu?

[–] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Having much greater lawyer force than a couple of developers. Nintendo would win even if they are not right. Or even if not win, those developers would go completely bancrupt for the rest of their lifes because of lawyers costs.

Couldn't they outsource that decryption part to someone who is more grey area and incognito than the emulator devs?

Just make it possible to add this to the Emu and focus their development on the emu itself

Nintendo would target the easiest target, which would still be yuzu

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 12 points 7 months ago

They didn't. Nintendo and Yuzu came to an agreement and settled out of court.

You act like laws aren't just excuses.
