You would not need to print a PS1 if it's legal to emulate. You've offered a solution to a problem which no longer exists.

Right, but that's not the arguement people are making. They are saying that emulation is absolutely nesseccary for games preservation. But clearly it's not. 

The argument is for preserving software, not hardware. Obscure DOS and Atari games are prone to be lost due to lack of records not unlike early movies, without digital preservation virtually all of those game would have been lost.
