And people who play Chinese retro handhelds must dump their own ROMs. Unless they bought a 10000 in 1 version for $10 extra, in which case it's all perfectly legal!
Sure, you must, I guess, but is anyone really going to jail over this piece of ancient history? I find these disclaimers cute.
Functionally, the README describes that providing a game copy is necessary for creating a build. This would make sense, since unless the sound, image, text, etc. assets are all baked into the code, those would have to come separately.
Legally, it further doesn't make much sense. This is cleaned up (?) and painstakingly bytematched decompiler output (again based on the README), so it's unfortunately just plain illegal [0], disclaimers nonwithstanding.
[0] as always, legality depends on jurisdiction - so as always, if in doubt, consult an actual lawyer
