@Onion It has never been proven that Nintendo downloaded a ROM file from the Internet. It's a fact that Nintendo uses the iNES file format, though. Using the same file format results in identical ROM files. If you want to prove that Nintendo downloads a ROM file from the Internet, you have to modify the ROM file like changing some bits to mark it and then upload it and hope that Nintendo will download it. There have never been evidence that Nintendo uses an intentionally modified ROM file, though.
By the way, even if Nintendo downloaded a ROM file from the Internet, you can't prove that the ROM file Nintendo downloaded was illegally dumped if it's a clean ROM file. Also, Nintendo can legally download ROM files of its games from any sources because Nintendo is the copyright owner. Others can't because they aren't the copyright owners.
As for emulators, I have never heard that Nintendo uses a third-party emulator. I heard that someone suggested Nintendo to use one, but Nintendo didn't approve of that.
@Leej07 Nintendo never said that it's illegal to make a copy of your game.

@Leej07 Nintendo never said that it doesn't want people to make backups of copies of games they own.
