Retard. Hardware emulation has a ton of inherent advantages. It has much better inherent accuracy, ceiling for accuracy, way easier to dev for, targets a single spec, zero input latency, zero audio latency, and native support for CRTs and OEM controllers.
But that still doesn't mean you hit the "make core" button and put poofs a perfectly accurate core. So it's a good thing we had/have the brightest and most passionate minds in the space working tirelessly to make the most perfect cores possible.
As it stands now, basically every single main core is 100% compatible, has zero recorded issues, is more accurate than the most accurate software emus, and is completely indecipherable from OG hardware using any game in the library even to the most scrutinized criteria.
>NES core has the highest result on AccuracyCoin testrom of any emulator in existence
>MD core gets one fail on the most intensive MD test rom, compared to 3-5 fails depending on version with the most accurate software emulators, BlastEm and Nuked
>GBA core is one of only a couple emulators in existence that passes AGS Aging Cartridge (Nintendo's own internal test for their hardware) with 100% accuracy
>NEOGEO core is cycle accurate using fucking decaps of original hardware and far better than MAME and FinalBurn
>Saturn core has 100% passed literally every test that even exists for the Saturn, blowing away software emulation
>N64 core has better accuracy, lower latency, and better compatibility than Ares, the most accurate N64 software emu
>PSX core is cycle accurate and has zero compatibility issues compared to the dozens of Duckstation and Mednafen
Etc etc.
Fucking cope with your shitty ass laggy software emu poorfaggot
