Emulation is the best way to play old games, especially native ports. Higher resolution, 120 fps, QoL and texture packs are excellent. Dusk Realm was way better than what Nintendo has ever done with TP.

I think AI is a great match for emulation. It will speed up ports, allow for more options and help remedy bugs. PM Recut works well.

The only personal policy I have, I dont emulate hardware that is currently available in retail. I only emulate discontinued hardware.

Play however you like. I don't think a lot of games were intended to be blown up to 4k or even 1080p. You can wind up seeing stuff that the devs never intended. For example; I personally don't like seeing the entire model of my trainer in 4k while playing DS or 3DS era Pokemon games. And I don't like seeing raw pixels in my games, even though I accept it as a legitimate choice. 

Props for sticking with emulators for discontinued hardware. 

Also I wish I could give you a personal tour of my setup. High end CRTs, and upgraded cables do wonders for older games, while keeping the  original. 

If you can find a good PC CRT I think using CRT Emudriver to send something 1280 or 990 (or whatever resolution those 2004 PC CRTs did) would be worth your $50-$150 spent.

Also if I  were to play anything upscaled it would be Perfect Dark multiplayer, because the native resolution on N64 split screen isn't even 480i. And pumping it through CRT emu driver to a 720p resolution would be sick! 

Sounds really cool.  I used to have the original hardware until I realized I had 13 consoles with so many controllers.  Texture packs are my favorite.  Link between worlds with henriko was fantastic.
