bro the young lawyer is way off about this.

you cannot make mods of nintendo games go find me some roms right now.

The only reason any mod can exist is out of good faith.

I was talking about emulators, not mods. The two are completely different legally.

Mods, by definition, involve working with copyrighted code (the source code you are modifying). Emulators just simulate the original thing they emulate: they aren't actually that original thing.

(Again, I'm speaking about a class of emulator: one that does not use the original source code. EQ Emu qualifies, as no one even has the original source code to copy. An emulator that does use original code obviously wouldn't count.)
