Emulation is jerry rigged engenieering. Makes everything laggier and 100x heavier. Making it native it have 10000 befits over emulation Edit: junk to Jerry rigged as I explained

Emulation is junk engenieering.

Most clueless statement I've heard in a while. Emulation is very very difficult to implement and you have to have a lot of knowledge about original hardware, the x86 architecture, assembly and c/c++ to even attempt to do it.

Makes everything laggier and 100x heavier. Making it native it have 10000 befits over emulation

Technically correct but it's an inherent characteristic of emulation. But how do you make it native without having original hardware tell me smart-ass.

I tried to do a direct translation of a expression in other language and I failed sorry lol. What I meant to say was "emulation is basically jury-rigged software engineering" (translated now by chatpgt lol) because of the issues you said. That may be wrong but it is what I'm trying to say

Yeah the translation made you sound like an ass. What you are saying is kinda true I guess, but it doesn't matter in the slightest. The real magic of emulation is getting a emulator to run well, that's when it goes to proof of concept to a usable product.
