Hi all, sorry if this is an inappropriate place to ask this.
There's a chance that I may be going to Japan soon, for a decent chunk of time. I would naturally want to bring some games with me to play on off times, but I'm a little concerned about emulation. I would definitely be bringing at least some emulators/rom sets with me, either on my 3DS or on my computer or somewhere else. I know that such things are taken much more seriously in Japan than they are in the United States. Is there a chance that I could get in trouble with the law over this? I can't imagine how they would get the right to look through my files, or whether they even would care unless I was illegally copying and selling games (which I wouldn't do in the first place). I guess I just want to be certain before jumping into a potentially messy scenario.
