is using a visual boy advance emulator stealing?

Someone asked me an interesting question the other day about emulators...

"is using a visual boy advance emulator stealing?"

To answer this question about using visual boy advance emulator, yes it is stealing. The creator made it so that it emulates or performs like a gameboy advance, aka it is counterfeit to put it shortly. This is almost like asking "I have the keys to a car that I don't own, if I use the keys to take the car, is it stealing?"
