UPDATE: I tried out the Black Chocobo save editor featured in the FF7 tools section and it worked flawlessly - https://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=9625.0
After starting the application and selecting the desired Save file, the "Other" tab has 2 tick boxes on the left hand side "Beat Ruby Weapon" and "Beat Emerald Weapon". Simply untick the boxes and the Weapons will reappear on the map. Make sure to reload your memory card save file via "restarting" the emulator as opposed to continuing from a save state. All rewards for either fight are still given every battle. Most notably, you can receive multiple "Earth Harps" this way and the Kalm Traveler will give you 3 Master Materia for every one you give him. Until the Kalm traveler receives all 3 requested items, they will continue to accept multiple "Earth Harps" or "Desert Roses". It works as well as could be expected and I have encountered no issues so far. The only noteworthy occurrence is that Ruby Weapon may still be in the standing position above the desert sand when initially reloading your save. However, when Ruby weapon moves to a different location, the field model will submerge under the sand again.
TL;DR: Black Chocobo save editor works perfectly to repeat battle with Emerald Ruby weapon and I highly recommend those using emulators to do so via this method if desired.
