Zelda 64: Recompiled was pretty interesting news recently, a PC port of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask using the new N64: Recompiled tool and now a fresh update is out to improve it further.
I think the way it’s set up puts it in a similar situation to the decompilations, like the Mario 64 PC port. As long as they don’t distribute pirated material or openly encourage piracy, I don’t think there’s much Nintendo could do.
I wonder how much time this tool has until Nintendo’s lawyers come knocking on the dev’s doors

Maybe, that seems reasonable. But it begs the question, are Nintendo lawyers reasonable too?
Probably not, but so far they haven’t gone after any recompilations.
