I wonder how much time this tool has until Nintendo's lawyers come knocking on the dev's doors

I think the way it's set up puts it in a similar situation to the decompilations, like the Mario 64 PC port. As long as they don't distribute pirated material or openly encourage piracy, I don't think there's much Nintendo could do.

Maybe, that seems reasonable. But it begs the question, are Nintendo lawyers reasonable too?

[–] julianh@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Probably not, but so far they haven't gone after any recompilations.
