Please reread the patent granted. To my memory, it relates specifically and
distinctly to "weak" platforms" such as PDAs and backrest displays in train
or planes, but only for Gameboy emulation. I understand that Newtendo is
not a Gameboy emulator, but a console emulator, and as such is not covered
in named patent. Pls. advise if this is correct.
