Why should retro games have no licenses?
And I personally don’t oppose anything, just pointing to the laws and how I understand it.
Am I a lawyer? No!
Is my knowledge of such laws primarly only valid for germany and the EU? Yes
There could be a legal basis against romhacks, and even a bigger one if they are paid, but it could may be legal too. That is one of those cases where a court ruling would be helpfull to be sure.

I mean to say, there’s no T&C with retro games.
There can be, but most of the time yes.
And it depends on the definition of retro games. Retro games can include up to WiiU and Xbox360 era, there is a lot of T&C there.
But for the good old 8/16bit era, yes it is mostly unkown there.
