>emulating a current console is not about preservation. It just isn't

So we should all just wait until they stop selling a console before working to emulate it?

Just imagine if they had this attitude when it came to reverse engineering IBM PC's bios.

IBM published the full BIOS listing and schematics. There wasn't much to RE.

If it's still being actively sold, why would the emulator be needed or distributed? It's a bullshit argument for current consoles.

Did you... not even read the entire line that you decided to just quote part of?

> But, emulating a current console is not about preservation. It just isn't. You can try to say it is, but no. Maybe, maybe you could argue that you are putting in the work now so it's ready when it's needed. But then be careful about putting it out there.
