It's basically how any emulation is legal. The software isn't breaking any laws. It just interprets the data.

Agreed, just like any other emulation. The term "legal" threw me, because most people don't have personal ROMs of PS2 games hanging around.

Tbf, of all consoles, PlayStation games are the easiest to actually dump legally owned copies of, all you need is a bluray reader and you can do all of them.
