Isn't the whole emulator a circumvention? It circumvents the hardware which "effectively controls access to a work", which is the console itself.

Not exactly. Clean room reimpmentations are fine, and has been upheld in court. I think the copyright office even has a published exemption for it.

The issue is when you bypass encryption keys and systems.
