ROM sites are actually illegally distributing copyrighted content.

Emulators are usually not stolen and are just reverse engineered.

Modern consoles and arcades have anti-circumvention measures to restrict access to their internals. Software that bypasses such protections runs afoul of the DMCA even without any copyright violation.
