There is a good deal of misinformation on the Internet regarding the backup/archival copy exception.
Here is a chunk of text from its FAQ on the matter:Ĭan I download a Nintendo ROM from the Internet if I already own the authentic game? Nintendo, for example, states in no uncertain terms that obtaining a ROM is not permitted, period. Others feel the same way about games no longer in circulation, otherwise known as abandonware. The popular argument in favor of emulators is that if a person owns a game, it's okay to grab the ROM. Game ROMs for all sorts of systems are freely available on the Internet, though the legality of them falls into a gray area, or at least the moral code surrounding them does. Under section 10.13.10 it reads, "Apps that emulate a game system are not allowed on any device family." So not only are game system emulators like the one NESbox developed banned from the Windows Store for Windows 10 PCs, they're also not allowed on Windows phones, tablets, and the Xbox One.Įmulators are popularly used to play games from previous generation consoles that are no longer being produced. Microsoft updated its Windows Store Policies page to reflect the change. Universal Emulator has been unpublished :( Apps that emulate a game system are not allowed on any device family.
