So my problem is very simple, my laptop doesn't have a disc station, as in i can't use any kind of cd/dvd for movies or games because i can simply not insert them in my pc, my question is can i get the emulator to work without it? I was following the instruction and it told me i had to burn the file's on a disk, but since i cant use cd's are there any other options?

Your best option is to find a system which does have a DVD drive, rip your games, and move the ISOs to your laptop (e.g. with a portable HDD or a big disk on key / flash/thumb drive).

Are you sure that it is illegal to have more than one copy? I think as long as you don't share them and/or try to overcome DRM you can make as many copies as you want. (At least in my country it is like that)

You can have as many copies as you want. The real question would be using multiple legal copies at once, but even then I think it's okay.
Anyway, transferring them over LAN is an option too. I had this issue a few years back(dvd drive in desktop PC died) and I shared the root of the DVD drive of a laptop on my network and I could literally rip it over the network. IE Put the disc in the laptop, start imgburn on the PC without the drive, point it at the networked drive, and rip it over the LAN.
