It's overall a good thing that emus exist, but let's not act like they are perfect, because they are objectively not. Bear in mind that "playable" can include audio bugs, game progress halting glitches, texture bugs, game speed inaccuracies, inaccurate hitbox issues, geometry clipping, etc. Real hardware must also be maintained, atleast for the foreseeable future, so that the intended experiences of these games can be preserved. In fact, real hardware is absolutely necessary to serve as a benchmark for improving the emulators, lest we all be stuck with inferior "remaster" type experiences and the intended experiences be lost forever. Anyone who has fucked with emulators for any length of time has encountered numerous issues. And yet, you reactionary contrarian weirdos never seem to encounter issues at all. Something doesn't add up.
