I like emu-paradise and emulation-nation.

I got a GBA emulator that runs GameBoy ROMs on my CELL PHONE!!
I really don't think it is legal. Where did you hear this? The developers should retain the copyrights to their work for at least 50 years (I think it's at least fifty, globally. In Finland it's 70) after the original creators have died, unless they specifically state otherwise.
