But existing emulators are usually specialised and themselves prone to becoming outdated. KEEP is intended to be the "first general purpose emulator", designed to be migrated easily to new computing platforms.

Makes no sense to me. Why not just optimize your emulator for x86 and emulate that, should it ever go away?


One thing we'll likely have no record of in the future are the emergent properties of complex multiplayer games. Servers can sometimes be configured to do full recordings of each match, but players cannot, because servers only send updates for players that you can see.
