No, they're very much illegal. You're using the proprietary software of the manufacturer to run games at no cost to you.
So I went out to answer my inferred question before your post, and I found this, this, and this (that middle one is from Nintendo's website, but the first one links to it). Basically they say what I did, the emulator isn't illegal, but the ROMs/BIOS are.

Also, an emulator isn't proprietary software of the manufacturer, it runs the software (which is illegal... for the most part)

You're using something (in this case, the emulator) to run proprietary native programming (the system BIOS) as well as first, second, or third-party software made for that platform (the game ISO and anything associated with it), all or none of which you may or may not own. The entire thing screams illegal. I don't care if the emulator by itself is legal; it's a means to an illegal end.

Do I use them? You bet your ass I do. I, however, own or have owned everything I've ever emulated. Doesn't make it less illegal, even though the websites you download them from will tell you it's fine.

:O

"Đ" or "đ" is the equivalent of "dj", you pronounce it pretty much like "du" in schedule (English).

"DŽ" or "dž" (considered as one letter; there's also "d" and "ž" as separate letters) is the harder-pronounced version of "đ". I think the name John could be a suitable example in English, only pronounced a bit harder. :-\

Two days ago, I decided to take a little break from Mortal Kombat. Next day, which was yesterday, I couldn't resist it and played Mortal Kombat. You know what this means? If I stop playing Mortal Kombat for more than two days, I might go into an MK withdrawal!

Fortunately, I only need to play a few matches to calm my brain, offline works, and I have MK9 on my PSV. All is good.........or is it?

I just had to share due to the surprising nature of it all. My mon just gifted me a half joint and I blazed up. Then she blazed up and shared. I still have most of the joint.

For what it's worth, my use of pot is mostly for the purpose of sleeping. Not sure if anyone here knows, but I tend to have major trouble sleeping and pot is so relaxing, it's stupid.

I have no problem with you sharing, Jironibou tends to call me out on it for purposes I am not aware of.. I think it's awesome that you blazed up with your Mom, lol.

It's based on a book (well they both were, but the first film wasn't quite as derivative of the source material apparently)

It's supposedly a remake. The original is said to be a loose adaptation.
I have no idea whether it'll be a more faithful version of the story it's based on (which I've never read.)

Regardless, there's no way it can top the awesomeness of the Paul Verhoeven one.
