> No, it's never the same. You're right, but of course the nature of emulation is that it can actually be better in a lot of ways. More power efficient than original hardware, no cartridges or discs, no composite or NTSC artifacting[0], save states, networked multiplayer, automated translation, etc. > There will always be glitches. It is at least theoretically possible to build a perfect emulator. Practically, though, we are already so close that it is more than good enough[1] and fake it for the rest if anyone cares. > KiwiFarms murdered the person who could bring emulation within spitting distance of real hardware. Yeah, that was horrible and tragic without even connecting it to emulation and those fuckwits can die and rot in hell. [0] Ok, that one being better is debatable since the art was designed with that in mind. Of course, there's always shaders. [1] With the exception of a few systems, like my beloved Saturn.
