Gaming Discussion / Games that are not emulated properly (or at all)
« on: August 19, 2013, 03:31:07 pm »
I'm wondering what the general state of emulating videogame consoles is. Especially after the conception of former bsnes, a lot was talked about accuracy and hardware preservation by means of emulation. There are many threads in several forums that discuss what the alleged most accurate emulator for each and every console is, so that's not what is of concern to me here.
Rather, I'd like to know if anybody of you knows some concrete examples of games that no emulator for the system in question is able to emulate properly, in the sense that there are noticeable differences to the original. It doesn't matter how different the experience is, so anything goes, from missing pixels and out-of-sync music to doesn't even start.
I'd love to start by giving an example myself, but alas, my experience mainly lies with the SNES (but that's part of the reason I want to "widen" my horizont). I have no idea if there's much to talk about, but if anybody knows any such games let me know.
(It doesn't really matter what system, but I'd guess newer systems (PS2 and newer) still have major compatability issues, so up to fifth generation - PSX, Saturn, etc - should be a good rule of thumb)
