to be honest im surprised sony hasnt done the same for the ps1 considering many ps1 emus are out. and the one for the gp2x is comming along nicely.
the only way i can see nintendo not suing is if first the person who done the emu is anoymous. Not someone who is known for creating gba emu's. they cant find someone if they dont know who thyre looking for.
it would also have to uploaded to somewhere such as bittorent.
It wil also have to be free
It should not be uploaded to any other sites.

I wish people would stop using this expression ... it's meaningless. No emulator is perfect, the concept is fundamentally impossible.

It is illegal. Nintendo and Nintendo Licensees are the only ones who have the right to copy the data of one copyrighted game to or through any medium. By transferring the contents of that cartridge through a medium you are not licensed to do so, you are illegally infringing on their copyright(s).GeminiDomino posted on May 24 2006 at 10:27 PM said:aapje89 posted on May 24 2006 at 10:10 AM said:"Now that Nintendo is the sole, legal owner of GBA emulation, any and all emulators are now just as illegal as the ROMs"OmarNawaz posted on May 24 2006 at 01:48 PM said:

Just so you know, just because an arsehat lawyer says something, doesn't make it true. Another quote from that asshat is "Whether you have an authentic game or not, it is illegal to copy a Nintendo game from a cartridge or to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet." Which is total FUD.
