I think the most worrying thing about emulating old consoles by reverse-engineering them is that you're running out of time to test it. Say for example that the original Luigi looks blue in the hardware it was made for, but in an emulator he looks green. If there are no original NES left, you will never be able to know the emulator's code doesn't match how the NES actually worked. From that point on, the emulator experience is as canonical as it gets.

It's possible to RGB mod an NES, but is that authentic? No. The one true color of Luigi is the one that you saw as a child on a sunday afternoon in the eighties. Lost in time, like tears in rain.
