Emulators aren't games. Games are games.

An emulator is legal and freely distributable program that "emulates" the hardware that older computers/arcade cabinets ran.

On top of that hardware you must add the operating system that used to run on that hardware. This is refereed to as the BIOS or "Basic Input Output System". The BIOS files are copyrighted and NOT free to distribute.

On top of THAT, you need the actual games to play on this emulated arcade cabinet. These games are usually captured as ROM images. ROMs are NOT FREE and not free to distribute.
