Emulation’s legal whether or not some of the software on a platform is abandonware (which doesn’t justify anything legally, anyway)
When you make this kind of claim, please make sure to 1) disclose whether you're a lawyer, and 2) your jurisdiction.
No. This is not legally binding. This is not the United States Of America where we speak officially, this is a random web forum.

Nintendo historically took a harder stance than that basically saying that emulation destroys the player experience and even copying your own games isn't legal.
Seems like emulation is only fine if they make money out of it.
my justification is that intellectual property is an absolutely ridiculous concept and my actions are driven by my morals and values and not the frequently ridiculous laws of this country
