Emulating old games for a rerelease isnt inherently a bad idea, but its not a good look when they advertised it as a remaster. Just getting this info from Steam reviews btw

Seeing as they completely redid the textures and meshes, I have to question the validity of calling it "just an emulator."

You can redo the textures without changing any of the underlying game code.

ROM hacks and texture packs are impossible. Super Mario 64 on 3D All-Stars must be running natively. A few textures were put through Waifu2x, so it can't be emulation.

True, but looking into this shows that people are equating lag = emulator when the reality is that it's poor code optimization. Optimization that happened because they changed the code in the first place.

So it's far more a bad PC port than anything to do with emulators.
