任天堂警告模拟者,如果复制游戏代码、绕过安全或促成海盗活动,就会成为非法。 Nintendo warns emulators become illegal if they copy game code, bypass security, or enable piracy.

Nintendo的律师Koji Nishiura解释说,虽然模拟器并不违法,但如果复制游戏程序、禁用安全功能或与盗版游戏连结,它们就会变成非法。 Nintendo's lawyer, Koji Nishiura, explained that while emulators aren't illegal, they can become so if they copy game programs, disable security features, or link to pirated games. 这基于日本的《防止不公平竞争法》。 This is based on Japan's Unfair Competition Prevention Act. 任天堂已对这种做法采取法律行动,以保护其软件和更广泛的开发者社区。 Nintendo has taken legal action against such practices to protect its software and the wider developer community.
