Prior Art [1]:<p><pre><code> * no$gmb * VGB-DOS * Boycott * GNUBoy * HelloGB * KGB * Virtual GameBoy </code></pre> Just as Nintendo owns few of the patents on the computer chips inside the original GameBoy, they do not automatically get to patent the rights to a virtualized version. &quot;Possible&quot; improvements (especially when none are listed or implemented) do not allow wiggle-room for this patent, either.<p>Someone should call Marat Fayzullin [2], and have him sue nintendo for violation of his intellectual property (Virtual GB was the first implementation), then bring that lawsuit to the patent office as evidence of an improper patent filing, in order to bring it up for a review.<p>1. <a href="http://www.zophar.net/gb.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zophar.net&#x2F;gb.html</a><p>2. <a href="http://marc.rawer.de/Gameboy/Docs/GBCPUman.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;marc.rawer.de&#x2F;Gameboy&#x2F;Docs&#x2F;GBCPUman.pdf</a> &amp; <a href="http://fms.komkon.org/GameBoy/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fms.komkon.org&#x2F;GameBoy&#x2F;</a>

Hmm... wouldn&#x27;t Prior Art render this patent null and void?

I think this is a little late. There are so many free emulators out there, why would I go through Nintendo?
