I think it made more sense originally when it was going to be fpga. Getting solid emulation for some of the more difficult and rare consoles back in 2018 would have given people at least a taste of how the consoles felt I guess.

Still have my launch day version and bust it out to play some guilty gear with friends time to time. Got me into soft modding then hard modding other consoles. Even now it’s a tinkerer’s delight.
