Well actually theres a whole section from nintendo on this issue

Technically its illegal and certainly would be if you were say making a profit from their roms.
Even if the game is not commercial available it does not change its copywrite status.
this however is not stopping people distributing emulators and roms.
I think if you were hosting a site selling them it would be a different matter.
