This means you can find the pc and get THEIR OWN EMULATOR, make it open source and fuck them royally.

Implying they have their own emulator and it's not just running retroarch or something

If they would do that it would be very useful in court.

It's not illegal for Nintendo to run retroarch.

Its not illegal for anyone else either, but them running such software for profit might be a licensing issue depending on the exact version they use.

RetroArch and most of its cores are under the GPL or MIT, which allow commercial use.

Nintendo has their own emulators for running these games on newer consoles.
