Well, we may not be wishing that the GC Zelda looked like the demo. Apparently Nintendo is scrapping the cell shading idea so the demo look may become a reality.

I agree that nothing is like the real thing, but you can get pretty damn close with emulation(you can use an adaptoid on you PC so you can use the original controller). Emulated games on a PC look better than the real thing on a TV due to the fact that a PC can do alot higher of a resolution than a TV.
I can tell a major difference in graphics quality playing a 64 game on my PC in 1600x1200x32bpp w/Anisotropic filtering over playing it on a real 64 on a TV doing 640x480(or maybe it is 640x400). On the real thing the graphics and shit look jaggy and blurry after you have played the same game on the emulator in a high resolution. Then again, there are some ROMs that you can't run on the emulators or there may be glitches or speed issues on the emulator.

For the N64 that's true yeah, but a lot of older consoles look plain out horrible in 1600x1200, you can just about count the pixels by hand then on a NES  

For consoles capable of higher resolutions (like my old trusty dreamcast, for which there is no serious emulator yet) a VGA box/adapter is an absolute must tough, except for low res 2d fighting games then which is a shame, LOT's of kick ass 2d fighters on dreamcast (capcom vs snk 2 rocks)

You can't imagine how sweet most dreamcast games look in high res on a LCD monitor (skies of arcadia was a dream in comparison to the "tv version)  :D

On a mac anyway, you can use the RAVE or similar OpenGL graphics modes on emulators to smooth out the graphics or even simulate a tv screen. I find these modes quite effective and they improve the experience.

Thank everyone at www.emulation.net for the totaly awsome Mac emulation community.

Haha .... but I'm not going to shell out 2000 euro for a mac to emulate a system which I can buy for 10 euro if I look around hard enough  :rolleyes:
