[QUOTE="Bowflex, post: 71932, member: 24"] Not necessarily. When working with more primitive technology, there is often less need or demand to emulate it. In the case of this project, they may be attempting to emulate chipsets/processors that have not been attempted before. I remember when MAME first started, most of the games with 6502 processors ran significantly smoother and more problem free than those that were based on Z-80's and other earlier chips. 68000 games suffered from a lack of processing power but the emulation itself did not have as many problems as any of the earlier chips. From what I remember the project was basically creating emulation from the ground up on the earlier modesl but they had an easier time with 68000s and even 6502s because there was more information about emulation and resources available at the time.
