The engineering that goes into these emulators is pure insanity
- Thank God for people like that. What a smart passionate person
  
  After watching this video, I never complained about some nuanced issues with emulators. lol
- I generally don't watch yt videos, but that was wildly interesting and amazing work! Had to watch all of it.
How many other emulators have achieved the same? Seems pretty impressive.
- bsnes/ares, Flycast, Mesen, and I think BigPEmu all have 100% compatibility with all released games.
  
  Also Dolphin themselves achieved 100% Gamecube playability a while ago AFAIR.
  
  And yeah. It is very impressive.
- Rpsc3 I think?
  
  Unfortunately not. They have everything capable of booting to at least something, but not everything is playable.

Queue Nintendo trying to snipe it down...
Official site says 3 still aren't at that level yet.
- I could only find Wii u menu that doesn't work because it's not a Wii u emulator in the broken category
