Just get an emulator and some roms... oh wait, that's illegal...

Not if you own the originals.
Shens.. look it up.
You have no idea what you're talking about.

On March 22, 1998, the IDSA (now the ESA) launched the "great sweep" against the emulation community, shutting down emulation sites deemed to be pirating game software.73 However, emulation is different from software piracy in that it is not inherently illegal; the specific combination and use of its individual components determines an emulator's legality.74 In both Sony v. Connectix and Sony v. Bleem LLC, the Ninth Circuit Court ruled in favor of the emulators arguing that the fair use provision protected Connectix's reverse engineering of the PlayStation BIOS and Bleem!'s use of copyrighted images from PlayStation games.75 Figure 7 below highlights the distinctions entailed in determining the legality of emulators.

Apparently you don't either... from the link:

Gray Area
? Making a backup copy of the game
? Using an emulator with legally owned software (in another media format)
Yes it's a grey area, but the bottom line is that it's not illegal. This assertion has held up in court as well.

Never said it was illegal... but that doesn't mean its legal. Its neither (whatever that means ;))
