The email does conclude with
"All Sega systems and Games remain protected."
Emulators are LEGAL!!!!!!!
They said they would not support us, but said as plain as day that the copyright is expired, and they have no interest in it
AFAIK if Sega bought the copyright to Giri Giri, then its theirs to do as they please with

It's probably dead as far as Sega supporting it, but that's not the same thing as the copyright expiring, especially since Sega is not the original copyright holder.
After he left the project and Sega took over, the emulator was short lived. Sega took over the copyrights up to 2003 and never renewed them after the theft of the unlock code to the commercial release and the project was canned.
How about a Windows XP optimized version that is smaller, faster and resource optimized. It has a partially rewritten core, updated code, improved sound, new tools, and updated documentation. Further, it now comes with its own installer and all the files needed to run it.
All you have to do is supply the game.
