Exactly 12 months ago today I wrote an article about emulation. In it, I predicted that Nintendo’s aggressive pursuit of ROM sites would either end emulation or make it far more difficult and risky - at least for the ‘downloading ROMs and running them via an emulator’ form of emulation – since there are other methods.
Many people said I was wrong and that emulation would continue. With the benefit of hindsight, I can confirm that they were right, and I was wrong - and never have I been happier to be wrong about something. 
To celebrate this, I have split the article in-two and rewrote it to account for subsequent events. Therefore, I bring you “Emulating Retro Games – Past Present and Future: Part One and Two.
