I wouldn’t run it on original hardware but are there any known attack vectors where malware infects you via a ROM that runs in a trusted emulator?

There was a vulnerability in Project64 so a malicious ROM could escape outside of the emulator. So while unlikely, it's certainly possible.

I knew someone would have thought of this. Thanks!
