Just to tell you...
Nintendo is quite... uh. paranoid about emulators.

It is indeed legal to backup things if you have the software yourself, however, nintendo states that it's illegal to do that.

However, this is incorrect, that is for most countries.

Some games companies, such as Nintendo, print warnings inside their game manuals that they do not allow users to make backup or archival copies. Whether or not these warnings in this specific form can be considered valid contracts is legally questionable. For an overview of relevant issues, see user agreement (EULA), shrink wrap contract, clickwrap, Fair Use, Fair Dealing and DMCA.

The US is one of the countries that prohibits backing up games.

I know that. That's why I said I trust them "true or not, as not to make them angry."
