Hi!
Thanks Chris for the thoughtful comments and insightful examples!

Based on what you said, I agree with you.
So I think the course of action would now be to:
1. Include MAME, possibly under a different name as on Parabola if
there’s a trademark issue, and removing the non-free files that I
think someone mentioned somewhere (?).
2. Keep the Nintendo® emulators, following whatever the best practice
is in other FSDG distros with regards to mention of the brand in
the description and synopsis.
Thank you people! :-)
