Well, that's all well and good in an old school world where PC CPU progress was made but it seems to me that from the beginning up until the Core 2 Duo we had some sort of Moore's law with CPUs but since then it's been totally pathetic. So if you are still able to expect big CPU breakthroughs then ok but I can't anymore so maybe time do whatever we can instead of clinging to a strict definition of emulation like it's our fucking bible. But if the stuff can't be done either way then we're screwed either way. Maybe someone will make a breakthrough and we'll be able to get a new CPU highway started but it's been dog shit since the Core 2 Duo, that was the end of the road. There's no big difference from a PC from 10 years ago and today running mame.
