It's more about recompiling and getting older code to work on modern hardware without breaking, like the way older games from the DOS or XP era can't run on modern hardware without being rewritten.
Whats with the input lag?
Honestly, I like X8 and I can't say I really hate X6 all things considered. I also hadn't played X7 and now I have and I regret so many things. X5 is just there though, I don't really care about that one these days.
AFAIK these games are direct source ports, not emulated.
Telling a computer processor how to act like another computer processor is not as easy as you would think. That's why FPGA is the new hotness when it comes to retro emulation, because you can literally reprogram the chip to act like old hardware.
nope. iirc only the zero/zx collection runs its games natively, everything else is emulated. I know for a favt the older X and almost all the classics are emulated, hance the atrocious input lag
im gonna be honest im playing on my switch right now and I dont notice it, do I just have bad reflexes or something?
Switch in general has awful input lag. You must be slow.
form what i looked up the ps4 is worse
Inputlag is only that bad on SNES games due shit emulation, everything after is native port.
How is the Legacy Collection on 3DS? Nice?
