@Meteoroid I can't speak for other countries, but in the US, playing emulated games isn't illegal. Emulation itself is legal, but the issue is distribution of said games which is illegal.
“Under section 117, you or someone you authorize may make a copy of an original computer program if the new copy is being made for archival (i.e., backup) purposes only; you are the legal owner of the copy; and any copy made for archival purposes is either destroyed, or transferred with the original copy, once the original copy is sold, given away, or otherwise transferred.”
