Line 11:

Operating Systems for earlier Apple TV are known as Apple TV Software (2nd and 3rd generations). The first generation Apple TV ran a variant of the Intel version of Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.x).

Reasons to emulate on tvOS include: powerful processing (Apple Silicon) and graphics (leveraging (typically) the Metal API), instant large screen TV set-up, ~~built-in~~ PlayStation 4, 5, Xbox One S, and ~~Series~~ X/S ~~controller support~~ (along with MFi, Siri Remote and multi-player support). Reasons not to or to be cautious about emulating on tvOS include: difficulty of installation (requires either a Jailbreak (not available on all tvOS's, or all models), a Sideload (see "AltStore") or building/compiling your own code and injecting onto the Apple TV (via Xcode)), limited storage capacity (circumvented with cloud storage), and keeping various emulators up-to-date.
