Emulators are fantastic! I don't know why you have a problem with them .. I have a mass collection of cartridges for these systems from my youth, which I have a right to access freely and legally, and I'm certainly not going to disallow my kids from the opportunity of learning what those old machines were like, since they've got the Pandora for precisely this purpose. I would say what you are trying to say is that the Pandora is not a 'consumption' device, or 'consumer'-ish enough, and I would argue that your definition of consumer and mine are widely invariate. Consumers of the Pandora Emulator ecosystem are as valid as any other - or would you rather all these carts and systems end up in the land-fill? Here's another lesson, then: computers don't get old. Their users do. For this purpose, be forever prepared to emulate/virtualize all the things!
