It's also important to remember that emulators exist without ROMs.

All the code that's in an emulator isn't infringing on any Nintendo's IP -- it's re-implementing Nintendo's hardware interface.

That it can be used to make piracy easier is unfortunately, but isn't really the emulator developers' concern, given...

There are substantial, legal, non-infringing uses.

In most legal jurisdictions, thankfully you can't ban something useful just because it might be used to commit a crime.

But what if it is mainly used to commit a crime?

This is the same as saying that most of the money can only be earned by Fortnite. Surely you see that the status quo has given you much worse, not better, games?

You mean pirating video games is a crime against hard working video game developers.
