And the point I want to make is that for the popular consoles (NES/SNES/Genesis/GB/GBA) "much better" greatly overstates the user-visible difference when playing a large majority of games. We want people to try MESS, merge or not - contrary to what you may have heard, a lot of the drivers run really well in the common cases. It's not like it was in 2006 or even 2008.
