A big problem with emulation that has yet to be overcome entirely is the added latency. Any of my newer machines can emulate a 68k Mac at full speed and I can hook up my Apple Extended Keyboard II to help replicate the physical portions of the experience, and yet using a real old Mac feels notably different simply because it doesn’t suffer from the latency papercuts brought by USB and modern operating system. That’s one of the things that jumps out at me when I pull out my old PowerBook G3 and boot it into OS 9 on occasion: it feels incredibly responsive relative to modern counterparts, especially with an SSD removing the wait times that normally came with a spinning disk, despite it being only a tiny fraction as powerful.
