I think emulation is the sincerest form of preservation for these old systems. The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) project would often say that preservation of the old hardware was their goal, the fact that you could use the code to play old roms was really more of a side affect. I used to think that was just a pretext for piracy, and I still think there's something to that, but more and more I appreciate what they did to document that old gear.
- ibobev 4y agoAn emulation is a good option which I currently use even purchasing a commercial emulator for ZX Spectrum as well a ZX Spectrum Next modern retro computer. But I'm considering becoming a collector of original hardware. :)
- hotpotamus 4y agoI've been down the road a bit and I appreciate that code wont take up any space and wont collect dust, but I also appreciate people willing to take care of that and really preserve the hardware, so more power to you.
