    Emulation is the least amount of work for all involved. If some poor guy is to spend weeks or months of his time porting a game it better be worth the investment. Porting should only be done for games that are completely broken and can’t run in a VM or emulator.

    It takes less than 30 minutes to setup a Windows or Linux VM.
