The useful features of hardware are emulated. The quirky edge cases, unused opcodes, and more esoteric features are often left out.
The programming oversights in the game logic will remain, but the behavior can sometimes vary when you get to the glitches that play around with memory in a way that they normally wouldn't.
- DSMan195276 10y agoI'd only add that for the GB there really aren't tons of quirky edges cases that you can avoid handling. The GB was around in the time when developers pretty much abused the hardware to get what they wanted, and the GB doesn't have tons of logic to emulate in the first place. That said, what you've described is 100% true about more advanced emulators.
