about Sony but Nintendo says in their ToS you cannot reverse engineer their consoles (but you can probably use an emulator someone else made just fine).
Downloading ROMs is illegal, but you don't need them if you have a legitimate copy of the game anyway. Emulators are freeware and only interpret game software. Otherwise using any Linux distro to run software made for another OS (or to run on hardware designed for another OS) would be illegal. Reverse engineering to mimic hardware/software for running a game you purchased is legal. Emulators don't include free copies of games.
