Imagine saying this when the early to mid 00's were a golden age of JP > EN translations. Emulation on handhelds was shit? Yeah, that sure was. It was shit on the PS2 as well, there's no doubt about that but emulation on X86 was great.
Sure the early 2010s were where things really kicked off but it's not as if the 2010s didn't have wonders like bleemcast or PSX & PS2 emulation making leaps and bounds. By the time 2009 rolled around I'd dumped my fat PS3 (both NA & PAL) and fat PS2 with HDloader for playing some PS2 games to use PCSX2. Yeah games needed workarounds and some 3D titles performed like shit but it was getting there.
Here's a 2009 build of PCSX2 playing SOTC on my tater. It was going to be Drakengard but that requires workarounds/patches/cheats with this version; it works fine today.
>I say revionists history because people don't remember those days
You don't remember them either, you don't get the right to call people revisionists.
