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 covering games that either received poor ports where emulation is preferable, or were ported with annoying flaws that prevent the PC version to be the ultimate one, or got completely different versions compared to console titles of the same name.

Several SNES games were ported to the PlayStation. More often than not the PS1 ports offer more features. However, the CD format creates loading times. Contrary to popular belief, most of these ports are not emulated. They simply take the text and graphical assets from the SNES game ROM image on the disc, with the rest of the programming being original work.

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.
