I really don't think this use of AI is bad. Nintendo would never do this, and if I had the idea before I'd do the same - knowing I cannot program anything, or want to learn via a project. Thinking about taking people's jobs, I don't think this, done extensively, would impact on that if people decide to port every Zelda game to the 3DS with a second screen - never mind other games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy etc. I can be a good development tool for individuals.
Every time I play Super Mario World I recall being the car, looking out to the landscape, travelling from Sao Paulo to Praia Grande for holidays. I think that's why holidays, travelling and Mario have always been linked to me.
I used to download eveey possible ROM when I was a kid, on Windows 95, because I had no idea that it was a crime. I stop when I realised that and I never used ROMs again in that way.
However...
I started modding gameboys and discovered the Flash cards. Now, I want to play the games I already own, from the 3DS library, on my Gameboy. I see no problem in using a ROM to play it that way, since I paid for the ROM already, from Nintendo eshop, in a store that is not supported anymore, and in a format which will, slowly but surely, degenerate overtime.
ROMs also gives us the possibility of modding a certain game, translate it into a language it was not available when it was released.
This practice, I think, should be legalised because as far as I see it, it is ethical, since: 1. I own the hardwares; 2. I own the software; 3. I am doing a personal project and do not intend to sell it. I think it falls under the concept of 'fair use' of copyrighted material.
That was the most amazing piece of photographic goodness of today.
It brings back memories of my brother and I watching the races, young and innocent back in '93 - before fighting almost to death in and out of Street Fighter II, in an altogether different Brazil.

Re: Anniversary: Game Boy Color Turns 25 Today
Memories? I still play mine regularly. I modded it last year and it regained new life.
Re: Analogue 3D Is An FPGA-Based N64 With 4K Output
Yeah, I would love to buy it if, 1. price is good, 2. I don't have to wait 300 years to be able to find one without a pre-order.
