It is false that "emulation is illegal". While companies like Sony make this claim, they always fail in court. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment,_Inc._v._Connectix_Corp. Most emulators are open-source and developed by communities in the open. What is illegal is distributing copyrighted games/ROM files.

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1720164814155030745
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
