>Because Nintendo's legal department is not dumb and makes very specific takedown requests that they know they can win, as opposed to taking down more gray-area things like source code.

But you couldn't even grab the emulator from Steam! There is zero indication that the Steam version of emulator would even include those keys (it's trivial to make the user to type them in/point to a file with them). So DMCA is a total bs and typical example of the abuse that is never punished in our legal system.

It's like copyright striking a channel with the announcement that they'll be streaming a parody of Morbius with the reason that it contains copyright material (perhaps some previous parody included shots from the trailer), without actually seeing the final product.

>In Europe, words like Russian or Czech typically mean ethnicity.

Well, then, suddenly all those fines on some obscure Russian (alright, alright, half-Russian) company called Google all make sense now! Just another part of the sanctions!

You could trivially (or rather, mechanically) emulate HW bounded stack with a heap-based stack collection (like std::stack).

Still pretty much true. Sub 150$ Xiaomi phones from 2016 are still going strong (Redmi 3). And there are plenty of sub 150$ offerings with something like Snapdragon 636/710 and 4GB of RAM which will be more than enough for years to come unless you are into some hardcore smartphone gaming (oxymoron).

Well, for counts 16 bits is enough, unless you count something really small, like every individual byte in something. And for counts 32 bits should be enough, since it's 4 billion.

someone somewhere 20 years ago.
