Maybe it is good to understand what Nintendo company thinks about
emulators:
https://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp#emulator

Let me cite from that link:

"What Does Nintendo Think of the Argument that Emulators are Actually
Good for Nintendo Because it Promotes the Nintendo Brand to PC Users and
Leads to More Sales?

Distribution of an emulator developed to play illegally copied Nintendo
software hurts Nintendo's goodwill, the millions of dollars invested in
research & development and marketing by Nintendo and its
licensees. Substantial damages are caused to Nintendo and its
licensees. It is irrelevant whether or not someone profits from the
distribution of an emulator. The emulator promotes the play of illegal
ROMs , NOT authentic games. Thus, not only does it not lead to more
sales, it has the opposite effect and purpose. "
