While there are upsides to decomps, I fear emulation scene will suffer from it in long term, since there will be less incentive to build proper emulators that can run whole library (in theory) of said console vs selected decompiled game by game approach.

That said, maybe decomps actually help emulation scene by more quickly revealing underlying hardware?

I think one will help the other. The more decompiled games there are, the easier it will be for those building emulators to find patterns, which instructions do what and which ones need more work, etc.

Well, I am hoping that emulators will not be sidelined and actually get boost from works on decomps - I am especially eager to see decomps of PC games to ARM64, but in the long run I prefer much more emulators since they provide access to virtually whole console library.

(to put it into perspective, Dolphin is currently at 67.2% Perfect, 30.7% Playable all the way through, with only remaining 2.1% games not playable)
