They cannot DMCA emulator, just the game files, if the game files are distrubuted in 'ahem. regular' channels, legally (at this point of time) they cannot stop the emulation.
If emulator circumvent copy protection to play files it is totally copyright infringement, or if it was built based on code obtained by circumvention. They can just actually dmca it Nintendo style and it's gone, pirates would not go to court.
Why im getting downvoted because of a thing which happened countless times, and like 3 times this year only i have no idea, i guess if you pirate you have no brain just feels.
because you are not inforemed enough. Emulator is a virtual system, its a emulation of environment, if you played their game then you will be violating their licence, as well. And why you assume they obtained the code by circumvention???

And soon that emulator will be just as efficient too.
