If there is no law prohibiting, it's legal. It's companies who brainwashed gamers to believe it's illegal, they understand they stand for no legal ground to forbid emulation.

Microsoft indeed stopped pretending emulation is illegal for a while: https://www.eurogamer.net/emulation-should-be-used-to-preserve-older-games-xbox-chief-phil-spencer-suggests

What is illegal is not owning a legal copy, but if you have a physical game you are allowed to do whatever you want with the source code as long you don't go against copyright laws. If you developed your own console, building it part by part and then played your copy, would it be illegal ? 

Best thing is always when someone says its illegal to play your own games in whatever way you want. They can never give an example of how its illegal just the "Well i think its illegal so it is" line.

Not really, I just know there is no moving pirates from their stance.  When a person buys a game they are buying a license, not ownership of the code.  Really that simple.
