No that matters. As is, the emulator cannot be used to circumvent nor break any protection. Feel free to try it yourself, boot up the emulator, give it an encrypted game and see what it does.

Nintendo didn't want to get in court and also had to basically lie in a DMCA, I think that tells it all on their legal standpoint, they were afraid of creating a precedent.

Don't worry that if they were so sure to win, they would be in court already like they did with the R4 cartridge.
