In general playing games on original hardware is going to be a better experience than running it in an emulator.
Especially in the 3DS family of systems, where so much unique hardware stuff is part of the experience. In an emulator you’re going to miss out on the dual screen, 3D effect, and stylus touch screen.
That’s not even getting into emulator issues with things like slow down, sound issues, or inaccuracies in rendering.
Intent is a big part, art is a means of communication and while it may reference or take inspiration from other works there is a message the artist is conveying with their own work.
The same isn’t true of AI, it is incapable of housing intent or making works unprompted.
