    Yeah, but that’s actual copyright infringement. I want more Palworlds and Cassette Beasts and Monster Sanctuaries, and I want them to be really blatant about things like summoning your monsters to ride them.

      Romhacks are not copyright infringement if you don’t distribute the ROMs. They only distribute patch files and users need to acquire the ROMs through legal backups of their own copies of the original games. It is not illegal to patch software, and it is not illegal to distribute a detailed list of all the things you’d change about a copyrighted work in order to make it into something else.

      I just hope someone takes Nintendo to court over that latest bogus patent so it can get thrown out.
