Nintendo have put an end to a browser-based Gameboy Advance Emulator.
The emulator didn’t actually have a name, but instead was a Github page that hosted many Javascript versions of popular GBA games such asPokemon EmeraldandAdvance Warsthat could be easily played in a browser.
Apparently this didn’t exactly go down well with Nintendo, and so they sent a takedown notice to Github to get it removed.The DMCA notice sent to Github can be seen below, but it looks likethe actual page the games were hosted onisn’t there anymore.
Emulation is a bit of a legal grey-area – usually (depending on the laws where you are of course) if you make everything from the console BIOS to the ROM yourself it’stechnicallylegal.
This emulator made it easy to run these games with very little effort needed in setting it up, and so it’s understandable to see why Nintendo pulled it.
