Has anyone ever written a definitive list ranking how easy or difficult it is to emulate various retro platforms on low-end hardware?
Like sure, you could just go by generation to get a broad idea, but every so often you encounter outliers like the SNES being harder to emulate than the Genesis or TG16, or the PS1 being much easier to emulate than the N64 or Saturn.
Also, there's often a big difference between the specs you need to run an accurate emulator, and one that's less accurate, but passable for most uses.
