well, good luck with everything, if you do enjoy it then fair enough, personally I find a lot of the enjoyment comes down to figuring things out tho, or doing something that hasn't been done before, but everything is already known and properly understood for those systems. (with the exception of some CPS1 oddities which are really going to need tests on real hardware to figure out, mainly 'bad tiles' which need per game hacks at the moment)

The main reason I looked at the Megadrive stuff (despite it being near perfectly emulated in Kega) was that there were simply some games that had issues in Kega, and the vast quantity of pirated games that didn't work at all because they required extra protection hadrware emulated, plus the fact that Kega is closed source, so a lot of secrets were being hidden and I prefer knowledge to be free ;-)

Each to their own anyway.
