the cons still outweigh the pros with it tho..
in terms of emulation they'd be far better writing a new OSD for a modern version that just didn't support certain features as the emulation core is vastly superior to versions that old, they simply don't do justice to emulation at all.
but even with DOS, you're doing yourselves no favours running it; even if you're running an old machine it isn't going to be cheaper to run or maintain as we've come a long way in terms of hardware efficiency compared to then, an old machine pushed to it's limits is going to put out far more heat than a new one handling things with ease.
