EmuParadise Removes Entire Game Collection
In July, news emerged in which Nintendo filed a lawsuit against the sites LoveRETRO and LoveROMs, which provide a variety of emulator as well as games their unlicensed classic (in ROM form). No half-hearted, Nintendo asked for compensation of US $ 150,000 for each games displayed, and US$2,000,000 for trademark infringement, totaling 1.4 trillion rupiah.

The emergence of this case makes EmuParadise, one of the sites that also provides games for variety gaming console old NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, PlayStation, Dreamcast and so on in ROM form (read only memory) and ISO, took major action to avoid similar claims. Now, the site, which has been operating for two decades, has deleted the entire collection games they have! This was announced by the creator of the site, known by the initials MasJ, in the form of an announcement entitled “EmuParadise is Changing”.
In the announcement, it was stated that EmuParadise no longer provided games which can be downloaded freely as usual. It’s worth noting that the creators didn’t specifically state that Nintendo was the cause of the entire discontinuation games they have.
