if you ask emu, i wouldn't be surprised if they gave their blessings for 
copying the old ROMs. in my experience, they're cool like that, especially 
if you point out that you would only make it available unmodified and with 
full attribution. it's not like they have anything to gain from stopping 
(haha! trying to stop!) anyone, this stuff has been out of production for 
so long. they score points if they give you a nod, and unlike most 
companies, i think they understand that.
