Also, why so many calculators? If there was just TI-84+ Silver, it would cover all the functionality of the rest... Maybe TI-86 and TI-84 (old gen and new gen).

A better question is, why not?
Different people used different calculators and, therefore, are familiar with different calculators. I can't imagine you'd be particularly interested in used a TI-84 if you grew up with a TI-85 (or vice versa).
Really, there isn't a huge amount of work involved in implementing each additional calculator (compared to the work involved with putting the whole emulator together), and if it makes a greater number of people happy with no impact on those who are happy with an existing model, then what's the problem?

Thus, you will have to provide your own ROM.

Is this application legal? Can I use it without a ti85 ROM?

I guess it is one way to do it.
