Here come Nintendo's lawyers.

Probably has the same legal "protections" as Ship of Harkinian and the like - it requires you to own the ROM, and they are not profiting off of this work (at least not openly and brazenly). They are not bypassing any encryption using proprietary keys, and they are not redistributing any copywrited assets.

Nintendo is going to have a rough time of it in US court.

They can just do like they did for Switch emulators. Just send a threatening email. Even if they actually sued and lost, the lawsuit would ruin their innocent victim.
