I'm pretty sure you can't sue or copy right strike because an emulator can run a game. You can get sued/copyright strike however for advertising that your emulator can run them (which is a huge difference).
@Wolfox a lot of games have an illegal fanbase. So this is an attack on them. Now whether these people are in the right is another question. On one side the fanbase is illegally downloading even though in some countries you can't really get prosecuted for it. The company on the other hand are restricting access to the game for that exclusivity contract money. In that case you don't have to be suprised an emulator is being build.

Not surprised that they couldn't do much, since I imagine most emulators would be off the web (or more likely more hidden) if they were that simple to shut down. The most I've seen is Nintendo's actions against ROM sharing sites, but that is another matter entirely.
I don't really blame fans for their actions, since there is only so much a person can do to play the games they like without owning the specific console; hopefully, they will find some other way to support the company. I suppose this is a bigger issue for older series for consoles not in widespread circulation anymore, though
