To me, it really comes down to one major issue: Are you running an emualtor
as a computer geek who likes to mess with antique stuff or are you running
the emulator as a company whose software is dependent on this hardware, but
finds it is no longer cost effect or perhaps even no longer possible to keep
said hardware in operation... From the Ubergeek perspective, then yes, I'd
think you want the emulator to be weird like the real hardware, though it
could be good to have a less flaky version for those who are merely curious
and have never experienced the real hardware... On the other hand, if you're
depending on an emulator to flawlessly run your commercial apps, then you
don't want it to ever crash, since a crashed emulator is lost time, which is
lost money.. Note that this is only meant to paint a general picture...
