The EFF is taking aim at a Patent held by Nintendo for emulation of handheld devices, according to the EFF webpage, this patent "Threatens reverse engineering of videogames to promote interoperability and emulation by hobbyists and entrepreneurs like Crimson Fire Entertainment and Gambit Studios."

What effect this attempt by EFF will lead to is unknown, but patents on emulators are a critical issue for the community.
