> All of this just to let Dolphin play online with real Wii consoles in a game whose official servers are since long dead and whose replacement servers have a peak of only 15 concurrent online players.

Knowing there's people out that who have such absurd levels of dedication makes me so happy.

Imagine what humanity could achieve if we worked together. If robots/AI work out and we do have 100% spare time then you’d hope there would be more of this sort of thing.

Such a shame that it’ll probably just mean more inequality, at least in the short term.

If robots/AI work out we will need to use 100% of our spare time to work what few jobs are still available to humans so we can earn enough money to pay rent.

No, that's an example of robots/AI not working out. Yes, this means that "making robots/AI work out" is a political and economic problem, not just a technical one.

It's really unfortunate that the people who run the biggest AI companies don't share your definition of success.

It is imperative for game preservation though.

If the game is fully or even partially unplayable due to an a bug in the emulator, this really impacts the ability for future generations to experience these games, or these modes in these games.

As you said, its fantastic that people care this much.
