Nintendo mainly goes after Switch emulators, since that’s their current system. Also, their legal angle is that emulators circumvent DRM. Rom patches for 30 year old games should be fine, as long as you don’t distribute copyrighted content.
I don’t have faith, I try to unnerstand their actions and tactics. And I dislike nonsensical arguments mainly informed by gut intuitions rather than thinking for a second.
Illusion of Gaia/Time is not a Nintendo IP. No copyrighted material is being distributed. They can’t even legally takedown decompilations of Zelda and Mario. What makes you think they’ll go against a completely and unquestionably legal romhack of a 30 year old Quintet game?

And emulation is legal as long as you don’t share copyrighted content, doesn’t prevent Nintendo from going after emulators!

you sure want to give a lot of faith to a shitty company that hates its customers.
