        “Very few of our notable games of the past are commercially available.” Example: At one point Duck Tales (NES) had been out of print since 1989, while the John Candy movie Uncle Buck was available on like 30,000 formats.

        Old games became the domain of the pirates. Emulation was our best tool for preserving our heritage.

        In the past three years, what’s happened? Hey, a company did embrace an open-source emulator! Yay! Unfortunately the product had issues, this emulator wasn’t the right tool for the job, etc.pic.twitter.com/1nOoIy1ExG

        Sonic Mania doesn’t directly have anything to do with emulation but would not have been possible without emulation, the team got their start messing with original Sonic ROMs via emulation technology.pic.twitter.com/n8gx9ZgsTN

        The hardcore don’t need the industry’s help. We can now load all Genesis games onto a single cartridge and play on original hardware. People are figuring out how to hack old CRTs to get the best possible picture. Etc.pic.twitter.com/lrnt3faPZV

        We wanted to include home console versions alongside arcade versions. Often companies are resistant to that, like “Why would you include the inferior version?” But we’re historians!pic.twitter.com/o6mvq4RpNx

        But all of us in this work of preserving old games use MAME. It’s volunteer work that we’ve been exploiting for decades. Let’s stop being ashamed about this or pretending it isn’t true.pic.twitter.com/2te2YBMRgo

        MAME is not infallible but it is invaluable. You also need to research other sources. Like we watched YouTube videos of gameplay on actual arcade cabinets.pic.twitter.com/rPr7ZXTSJj
