While Zsnes and Snes9X do do this, they are capturing an entire system state. A Super Nintendo's hardware will never change, and the hardware itself is only 16-bit. When a person is disscussing a 32-bit system such as a x86 based pc, the problems increase exponentially. First, the Super Nintendo only has 128KB of conventional RAM, and 16KB of video RAM. This makes the saved states very small. If a PC with 2GB of RAM had to Save a system state to disk, the amount of time it would take to write the state would take an enormous amout of time. If you only had a short amount of time before a UPS dies, then you would not want to be wasting it trying to save the entire system to disk.
Didn't someone in Canada get arrested for rebroadcasting someone else's signal? I mean if it is running in the 802.11 spectrum, and someone in the apartment below you tunes into your cable signal, couldn't they be arrested for cable piracy?

Is it just me or does the world's largest media company filing against the world's largest software company seem just a bit hipocritical?

Isn't rigging a poll like this against FTA and FCC law?
Not new, but the Mods will keep it alive for years to come. I've found it can work exceptionally well with wine and a good 3D card.
Would that be such a bad thing -- to be defended from other countries and still have an alternative source of power?
How much processor power does it take to convert between DivX and this new Codec?
One must always remeber that you can still play all the classics on one emulator or the other.
I don't care. I still know more linux, ircaddict.
