Rather, what instances can you think of where you're legally allowed to use an emulator only if you own the original console? The only time that ever comes into play is when the emulator requires copyrighted firmware present in the original console, like a BIOS. Even then, it may not be technically legal (depending on country) to copy said BIOS, and most people don't do that anyway.
On the other hand, most emulators don't require a BIOS. Most consoles beyond a certain age don't even have BIOSes. Even if they do, it's possible to emulate it with high level emulation (see VGS, Bleem)
