One of the main reasons I purchase actual carts for games is emulators timing is not accurate. Most emulators running 1:1 would require a heck of a computer even to emulate SNES 1 to 1.
Add in input delay due to using a USB controller controller, and (in some cases) a LCD screen you will have quite a bit of delay. It is really noticeable in games like Super Mario Bros where there are lots of precisely timed jumps.
Does anyone have a link to the PBS Frontline piece?
For Sega fans, M2’s Sega 3D Classics on 3DS are worth checking out.
Regarding the Virtual Console, the recent GBA VC games have great manual scans included with them. They’re $8. The emulation is excellent.
