The wii control is never emulated...it's merely installing a driver that allow the wiimote to connect to the N900

So if the maemo community is currently reviewing the legal status of emulators, why is there a master gear emulator in the extras repo?

Because Sega didn't contact Nokia and nobody from Nokia posted a video on Youtube showing them playing a Sega game on the N900.

It'd be more interesting to know if/when updates are coming, where to help / contribute / beta test comments are, etc...
Anyway, emu are legal, copyrighted roms less so (unless you own them depending of your country i guess).

Yes Nokia where stupid to sell there product like this, but whats to stop Sega following suit. If its OK to host Sega emulators then bring back the Nintendo ones.
If there is an issue with emulators then they should also be removed from what is essentially a Nokia endorsed community otherwise there opening themselves up to the same issue.

Had the Nokia employee been playing some homebrew on the emulator then Nintendo would have no grounds (though they like to say that they do but in law they do not).

Maybe a repository in the Netherlands will solve this ordeal?
