Changes

While we live in a time where the PC versions are automatically regarded as the "definitive" ones because of the benefits the platform has over consoles, it was not always the case. This section will cover games that either received poor ports (where emulation is preferable), or got completely different versions compared to console titles of the same name.

May be easier to emulate ports than the original versions.

Saturn emulation is poor, with only two emulators ([[SSF]] and [[Mednafen]]) worth using. Both have drawbacks, however; the former is closed-source and Windows only while the latter has more compatibility issues and is extremely demanding.

==PlayStation==

The PS1 has [[PlayStation_emulators#Emulation_issues|problems with 3D]] which become more noticeable when emulating the games at higher than native resolutions. Many PS1 games were ported to Windows. However, some of these PC ports are difficult to run on modern Windows operating systems.

While system requirements are substantially higher, emulating the [[Nintendo 64 emulators#Virtual Console games in Dolphin|N64 Virtual Console]] releases on the Wii results in more accurate emulation, even making some unplayable games playable.
