to emulate or not to preserve that is the question, is it noble to resort to such tactics to make sure the games of old work in the future on modern systems? or perhaps is it the ends justify the means in making sure from this point on all games are catalogued forever in xkind. id rather sleep maybe dream about the memories since at my death all i will ever have is my memories and even then i will loose them and become part of the history that i once existed. SNES Genesis Xbox PS2 3do apple pippin tis really a burden on the average person to carry the weight of the world on the shoulders of stuff that will inevitably be lost to time i am i therefore you are i and we are one and the same the games represent the intellectual minds and intangible creations of those before us so reinventing the wheel over and over to keep it alive is the only way. there is free software games (openttd/openarena) but the hardware cannot be freed and easily copied/cloned so emulators do not truly emulate the hardships and limitations of the time
