Human eyes at best are no great test to perfect
emulation. Nostalgia for
the original can cloud your perceptions though, fortunately I live in an
area with dozens of huge arcades that include the old games in free
sections. I prefer a modern crt under emulation, to the old TV style
original displays.
Actually, human eyes are the only relevant test to perfect emulation. I
couldn't care less what code was run, it might just as well be a dozen dwarfs
inside the cabinet, peeking poking in real time. It's quite easy to discern
what's a real Neo Geo.
Perhaps is this turning into yet another originality debate. =)
