Emulating a game you legally own isn't illegal.

As long as you yourself ripped them from whatever thing you owned it (a disc, game cartridge, etc.). If you download Super Mario Bros. 3 on the internet, and play it in an emulator it's still illegal, even if you own the game.

I don't know about that. If you own game that's in two CDs, one of them gets lost/broken, and you have to pirate the game in order to play it again, is that illegal, or should I extract the data from the CD that isn't lost/broken first?
