Is emulating acceptable?

If the game is no longer sold by itself, emulating is fair game. No exceptions, especially when the alternative is also rare. 

By emulating, do you mean pirating in this case? You still need to get the game first to emulate it.
What game is so rare you have to pirate it?

Or do you mean if you have the game you should wait until it's no longer sold before running it in an emulator?

Some games end up becoming relics. They are rare and expensive. Some are outright no longer sold. Those are alright.
