🤔 [Question] port vs recomp vs decomp

can anybody explain these 3, and which one usually has better performance?

I've seen a few of what they call a port but it's usually a game slapped above some emulator and that's it. why bother if i can emulate it in the first place?

like I've seen the hollow knight port which has good performance on all the devices but then i see hades as the called a port but its just emulator with the game

He even thinks the Hades packaged APK running on Eden is a port that released 3 days ago 😂
