The emulator scene could have all the trust it wants and it was still ruined 99% of the time by people downloading ROMs from the first sketchy site that gave them a file download. At least here what is made quickly by an LLM can have its source reviewed even more quickly by an LLM for a decent assurance. Age always helps though.
Exploiting an emulator through a ROM is significantly harder than inserting some malicious code into a binary.
Nah it's super easy for the most common game system emus, and especially easy for 'modern' emulators like dolphin and rpcs3.
You're thinking too much like an engineer who reads code all day.
What's actually happening is a 13 year old downloading Pokemon.rom.exe and clicking on it.
Your example might be a couple of decades out-of-date.
