 In many countries, including the United States, reverse engineering for the purpose of achieving interoperability (which is a key aspect of creating an emulator) is often considered legal, falling under fair use or specific exceptions in copyright law. This legal stance aims to balance the interests of copyright holders with the advancement of technology and innovation. However, the legality is not absolute and can be complicated by factors such as the specific terms of the end-user license agreement (EULA) of the original software, and whether the software is still under copyright protection. Given that copyright terms can extend well beyond 30 years, it's possible that even older software could still be protected. As such, it’s critical for anyone considering reverse engineering for emulation purposes to consult legal expertise in their respective jurisdiction and to closely examine the copyright status and EULA terms of the software in question.
