Emulation is the only way I can play old games as I'm very, very rarely allowed to buy games/consoles (Well, I'm allowed to get steam games but that's because it's my own money, but that's beside the point 
)
My emulator folder on my computer is about 69gb big with 59,084 files(that's every single file btw, so like all the files for the emulators and stuff) (most of those gbs are ps2 iso's though xD). It also allows me to play different ports of games where the pc version doesn't work on my potato of a computer
Emulation might be illegal, but that's never really stopped anyone, infact, if people didn't do anything illegal there would be no crimes and no need for the police and such
Still though, emulation is very good for playing games that are either incredibly expensive, rare or just unobtainible due to it being region locked in a different region. There's been some total gems that I've played like Dark Chronicle, shadow of the colossus, Digimon World, LSD: Dream Simulator (hands down the wierdest game I have ever/will ever play), original majoras mask and more ^.^
Wii emulation is really awkward though if you don't set up a wiimote to it xD Playing Ju-On haunted house simulator is quite possibly the most awkwardly controlled game EVER for emulaton xD
Overall, emulators don't hurt the companies so much if they're old. Emulating newer things is what does a bit of damage. Then again, to combat that companies have made it a lot hard to emulate systems which is why there's not really a working emulator for the 3ds that's not a scam.
A couple of times I have downloaded a rom of a game that I've already owned just because a friend wanted to watch me playing it, and emulating the game would just make it 100xs easier to stream

Well, maybe that gem-thing is too rich for my "plays by the rules" blood, but no real tears are shed if the roms are of oldies that have already gotten millions or more in their lifetime. Ethically speaking, moderation counts.
