All major lawsuits on the matter have failed, which makes any future lawsuits pointless. Legal precedent leaves it as nothing to worry about. If you can get your game into a format for an emulator to read legally then go right ahead. Discussing homebrew on Miiverse will get you a criminal content warning, even if you're just explaining to the mass idiots why it's illegal and that it can break your console. They also say you can't run homebrew which is the only way to get your game into a format you can use on PC. 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.
