Is emulating acceptable?

It's not stealing. You aren't necessarily duplicating or pirating anything if you have the original media on-hand.
You can drop a Playstation 2 DVD into your DVD drive... Fire up the Emulator... And you are emulating away.
No reproduction of any licensed or copyrighted software required.

I did touch upon all that in my post if you cared to read it.

I highly suggest you look at the legal precedents that were set with Bleem. Sony tried to sue Bleem and thoroughly lost their court case on every single account.

Ergo. Emulation is legal. The more you know.

Based on my knowledge on copyright and patents my best guess is these emulators are not made in any country that adheres to US law.

*face palm*
You didn't read the Bleem vs Sony precedent did you? The court case was in California, USA.
One of the emulator developers even ended up working for Sony.
