the problem is doing it properly is more time consuming.
the problem with RA / LR is that it's cheats piled upon cheats, and it's dishonest about that.
if they were honest they'd be saying they have a rather shitty hacky solution that works for now but is ultimately going to set proper emulation back years. instead they're talking like they're the savior of emulation, despite not writing a line of emulation code.
the hate is not unwarranted, they're parasites, but unfortunately that appears to be popular.
