Sony v Connectix is the actual case that set the precedent for emulation, not Bleem. The Bleem case decided whether or not the use of screenshots of copyrighted games to advertise their emulator was legal. I believe it just deferred to the Connectix case for the legality of the emulator.
Thanks for the correction. I sometimes get those two mixed up in my memory, and it's a really stupid problem that I need to fix.
