They can’t do shit about decompilations, since no copyright is violated. Also: I think M$ is the rightsholder now.
Are the characters themselves still not copyrighted?
And yes, you’re right. It’s been 20+ years, and my brain STILL refuses to believe that Nintendo DIDN’T buy Rare during the gamecube era. It still makes no sense to me. And it’s like my brain refuses to accept it.
You’ll have to supply your own rom. Then it’s not copyright infringement, since you can do whatever you want with the copy you’ve purchased.
