Gameboy emulation on PC? Yeah, that's gonna sell well

Current emulators aren't illegal. ROMs are, emulators aren't. But if Nintendo gets a patent, all GB emulators will be automatically illegal and Nintendo could emit cease and desist orders against its developers and start sueing them. If they become really interested in making their emulator the only one, they could start a fight that would, at least, make way less emulators available.

No! I won't allow them to start a fight against the beautiful VBA emulator ;(
