The issue isn't the emulation. The issue is who has the right to distribute the ROMs as copyrighted pieces of software. Nintendo does; any non-Nintendo website that you can download ROMs from doesn't.Doesn't really matter in the end the SNES classic is emulation, therefore, any arguments that it is somehow 'better' are null. If you want to buy such an item, so be it, but quit demonizing anyone else who knows there are other ways to go about the same thing without the BS attached to it. Guarantee there isn't a single one of you here who is 100% legit on everything you have other the years.
Not true. Many of the games have had slight alterations. Explosions in Contra for example are toned down to reduce seizures.No, it's the same ROM that was on the original game cartridge.
...files to which Nintendo already owns the intellectual property rights or has a distribution licensing agreement with the IP owner.
Understand?
There's a massive difference between "I jaywalk on occasions/downloaded a rom 20" years ago to "let's go ahead and download every console game ever pre 2000"Yes, that Nintendo is lazy and loves to hype and gouge where it can. I never said that they didn't have legal rights to do such things with their IP. Though I'm sure you can find some lawyers and judges who would find them in violation of the DMCA as they are using illegally made copies/images.

Yes. Last year and this past Friday, Nintendo has demonstrated the ongoing retail viability of their intellectual property beyond any doubt. Nintendo and its employees deserve to profit from the company's creations until their legal right to do so expires.There's a massive difference between "I jaywalk on occasions/downloaded a rom 20" years ago to "let's go ahead and download every console game ever pre 2000"
I don't know about "deserve", but they're certainly entitled to profit from it. Being grumpy about having to pay *gasp* about $4 per game and being frustrated with how highly demanded the product is doesn't entitle someone to obtain any of the games illegally.Yes.

Do you have anything else with 720p output?Well I tried playing around with it a bit this morning but still couldnt get it working on my receiver. I was able to get the video to come up for a little bit but there was no audio and the video cut out after a minute or so. at some point a message came up on the screen saying the input video was incompatible with my receiver but the video would come up for a second or two if I reconnected the HDMI cable. Really weird as I've had no problems with anything else on this receiver.
Wow, Super Ghouls N Ghosts is hard! I must have died a dozen times before I completed the first level. >.> It's a lot of fun though once you get the hang of it. I just wish it wasn't plagued with slowdown. I really wish Nintendo put a faster processor in the Super Nintendo back in the day. From what I hear it was even slower than that of the Sega Genesis, which was a full two years older.
I have one of those Atari 2600 retro things and it doesn't work on my receiver either. I hear sound but video doesn't work. It only came with the normal yellow/white AV cables though, not HDMI.Well I tried playing around with it a bit this morning but still couldnt get it working on my receiver.

Were you ever able to get it to work or did you just hook it up to your TV? I was thinking of messing around with the audio settings and see if that changes anything, although I'd think it wouldn't matter. Does anyone know what the audio output of it is? I couldn't really find details on the output online anywhere.I have one of those Atari 2600 retro things and it doesn't work on my receiver either. I hear sound but video doesn't work.

I never got it to work, but about 5 minutes after hooking it up to my TV I realized how shitty Atari 2600 is and I unhooked it and it's been in the box since.Were you ever able to get it to work or did you just hook it up to your TV?

What a revelation! How profound! Thank YOU for making me aware! How MASSIVELY ignorant I was before you came along and enlightened me! You've really opened all of our eyes with your AMAZING insight! BRAVO!And yet Nintendo will sell you the roms via their console store that are often the same files one could download via piracy.
I'd get one if it had Chrono Trigger and Tales of Phantasia. The game selection is nice otherwise, but it sucks that they are limited to what they ship with.
