It's not an emulator... it just does everything an emulator does.
The emulators themselves aren't illegal. It's the Roms that are.
Even then the Roms aren't so much illegal as they are illegal if you don't own the game.
This is why emulator sites don't have roms on their website. Having the roms there is illegal.
Emulators are really only illegal when they are "built" a certain way.
Like when you buy a game and agree to not back engineer it.
Also by "owning the game." That actually means owning the game. Not like "I own battletoads so i'll download this battletoads rom."
It means you have to copy your own battletoads rom. Amusingly rom copiers are often illegal as well just because people MIGHT use them incorrectly.
