In the past the spirit of the law or the rule was to protect the developers wallets from people taking away from potential sales. In this case I don't think downloading roms is a bad thing for Nintendo. In fact, I believe it adds even more appeal to the system a d theoretically is adding more money toward the snes mini. The third party developers wouldn't have made anything since Nintendo decided not to carry their games on the snes mini. And this was part of Nintendo's plan all along. If they didn't want us hacking it they wouldn't have put 300mb of space for us to do so. Second, Nintendo didn't come out with a public statement condemning the hacking. Third, if the NES was easy to hack, why make the Snes easier and not harder to hack. Fourth, there was a special message for the hackers inside the snes saying to enjoy the mini and have a nice trip to the 90s. It all adds up to Nintendo wanting to sell us an 80 dollar emulator like the retro pie without having any legal ramification of saying on record that we can download.
The message from Nintendo inside the snes for the hackers said something like unplug your self from today and go back and enjoy the nineties. This was basically a nod from Nintendo for fans to do what we needed to do to complete the library. Of course they cannot tell us on record because of the legal ramifications on their part. Nintendo has been fighting piracy forever and they finally found a way to cash in on it. If we're going to download roms then they will make the money on the emulator which they made tons of cash on. 3rd parties no longer make money on their games especially if Nintendo no longer releases them for current consoles and discontinues their virtual console on previous systems.

Yes of course! I would love to get access to both systems on 1 device.
