Isn't this illegal?! I thought Nintendo only licenses their games to run on their hardware.
This is awesome, love the clean sexy mac like UI! Now this is what you call an emulator!
Question, if i plug in a usb playstation 3 or xbox 360 controller into my mac, will I be able to use it to play games with?
How do they not get sued?
should run great on a 10K nMP!
Old school or go home.

Anybody got good recommendations for controllers? Preferably old-skool, retro ones?
An EMULATOR is legal. They can't be sued for that.
However, the GAMES themselves can't be distributed by the same company. They 'assume' that you bought the game yourself and converted it to a ROM image, or got these ROM images from a legal source.
Of course there really are no 'legal' sources. You still can be legal, however - you could have bought the old Nintendo games, and have them stored in your attic, and just downloaded those same ROMs. That's the 'innocent idea' that the emulator makers are 'assuming'.
Somewhere, in some FAQ, or buried somewhere will be a link (or a hint on what to search for) to find these ROM images.
