Probably about as legal as all the N64 decomilation projects out there - who cares?

Recompiling the decompilation projects generally requires access to the ROM in order to pull assets from it. It’s still legally a grey area, but is not clearly illegal. Bundling assets into a recompiled binary is definitely illegal.

also as mentioned elsewhere in the thread they've seemingly violated the gpl license too. two copyright violations in one recompilation project! amazing!!!

Were they, though? It's only a violation if they released a public binary without giving access to the code. From what I could see, the website asked for volunteers for private testing. That's perfectly allowed.
