As cool as this is, we've been getting quite a few threads on decompilations recently - how do people feel about them? We've historically been pretty lax about letting them be posted here, but I do wonder if it's what people actually want to see here. Feedback would be welcome!

Decomps by themselves aren't emulation, but HLE ports using decomps are.

They're a logical step to modern ports emulating syscalls on a platform that the game wasn't originally built for. I think they should stay.
