The problem isn’t the good ports, it’s the broken vibe coded ports that are a worse experience than an emulator.

The effort it took to port a game used to guarantee that any game someone took the time and care to port would be a great game. That filter's gone now, but even bad games should be of interest to historians.

Storing a childs' tracing of the mona lisa in a vault is a form of preservation, doesn't make it useful outside of very specific contexts.

That's hyperbole of course, but slop conversions are a facsimile of greatly varying quality.
