It's very much still code that's owned by Nintendo being distributed.
Nintendo own the whole game, not just the assets. A decompiled version of the code, or any port based on such is still owned by Nintendo, the copyright issue is no different to distributing the ROM. They even show that you can build the exact original game binaries from this source, and once you add the rest of the assets you have an exact match for the original ROM.
This isn't an original creation that just happens to use the ROM data if you have it, it's Nintendo's ROM data decompiled and ported for use on a PC.. All Nintendo need to is ask for this to be removed and it will be gone.
