This is really cool, but I wonder how long it’ll last before they are bullied with legal threats.

I think dumping your game cartridges is legal, otherwise you couldn't emulate games legally.

Nintendo sent a bunch of thugs to the home of an emulator developer last week, and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. Everything he did was legal, but that doesn’t stop Nintendo from literally threatening harm to your family.

If you dump a game cartridge, Nintendo can kill your wife.
