I really hope Microsoft steps in and shuts it down or Nintendo moves against it. Obviously the emulator itself is legal but the trafficking of ROMs is clearly not.

That isn't really a solid case...If it was all emulators would've been taken down by now.The only way to take down an emulator is if the developer of the program provides either a.games or b. a way to illegally acquire the games.Providing the emulator by itself is completely fine because there is no real way of knowing whether the person downloading the emulator actually owns said games.

Yeah it's too bad. Let's be real: most folks are using emulators to play illegally downloaded copies of games. I guess it's just next to impossible to track. Still, Microsoft has control over its OS and storefront. Surely it could bar the emulator as a gesture of good will toward Nintendo and the industry at large.
