How would they know it's emulated and not video captured from a real device? Are they only targeting when emulators are mentioned / shown in the window?
More reasons to switch to owning your content and hosting on your own platform or a PeerTube instance instead of only hosting on YouTube / Twitch - you can actually fight the takedown notice in court instead of having to accept that YouTube doesn't. Not a legal expert but this seems like a winnable fair use case if you can prove you own the game legally and are using your own rom dump.
Lots of channels getting strikes are showing anbernic and steam decks and the like running the roms featuring Nintendo games being emulated on said device and not just a video capture of the game
