Nintendo defended its decision to issue a cease-and-desist against the emulator, insisting its existence "harms development and ultimately stifles innovation".ĭolphin Emulator was initially released in 2003, and in addition to running on Windows computers it runs on several other platforms. The emulator's project team notes in the blog post that Nintendo's legal counsel requested Valve stop the release of the emulator on Steam and that Valve told the team it "had to come to an agreement with Nintendo" before it could release on the platform. However, in May, the team announced that the Steam release was " indefinitely postponed" after receiving a cease-and-desist order from Nintendo.Ī few days later, it was reported Valve had notified Nintendo that the Dolphin Emulator was being released on Steam. The team behind Dolphin announced its plans in late March to release the emulator on Valve's PC digital distribution platform, Steam. "Valve ultimately runs the store and can set any condition they wish for software to appear on it." "We are abandoning our efforts to release Dolphin on Steam," the Dolphin Emulator Project team said. In a blog post published today, the Dolphin Emulator Project Team announced it is canceling the Steam release of the emulator.
