I read somewhere that Nintendo used a IIgs as a SNES emulator for debugging game code. It was blindingly slow but got the job done. No graphics, just code chewing. When PowerMacs got fast enough some programmers at Nintendo wrote a full blown SNES emulator for Mac OS. They later left the company, announced with great fanfare that they were going to sell their SNES emulator and were never heard from again. They shoulda followed the "stealth" marketing model. Get it on the market and wait for Nintendo to notice it, then worry about the legal fight. :) ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
