[game_preservation] Article about proper SNES emulation

[Mike Melanson]

Byuu -- the author of the hyper-accurate bsnes SNES emulator program --
has written a lengthy piece for Ars Technica:

Accuracy takes power: one man's 3GHz quest to build a perfect SNES emulator

If you've tried bsnes, you know that the 3 GHz figure is no joke.

Great quote for the preservationist:

'Video games are a piece of our history, and we need to respect the fact
that there is a "true" form they had when released. Imagine if we only had
a JPEG of the Mona Lisa, a RealVideo stream of the moon landing, or a MIDI
rendition of "Walking in the Air." We have the ability to keep our past
alive, and I feel like it's almost a duty to do so.'
