Emulation in some (most) cases is better than the game on the system it was produced for. There are problems here and there with some games but as the emulator is developed, more and more games work perfectly.


The aim of emulators is to achieve the exact same outcome as the actual product. I don't see how you can have an emulator that works "better" than a system, as a "perfect" emulator would produce the same results. Additions that seek to improve on an already existing system is not classed as "emulation".

Read my above post. I have already provided points why emulators cannot be considered "perfect". Run an emulated game side by side with it's console counterpart and you'll notice an eventual skew in timing. 

Framerate. For example Shadow of the Colossus runs badly on the PS2, hitting 16fps or lower sometimes. Emulated on a PC it can run at 30fps without drops, as it should have been.

Careful. Once again, EMULATION works to perfectly mirror the product. An improvement of framerate may be nicer, but it's deviating from what is known as true emulation.

Tell that to Sony and its PS3 HD collections xD
