PC Ports, Decompilations, Remakes, Demakes, Fan Games, Conversion Mods, Texture Packs!
Please include ReDriver2! A recompilation of PS1's Driver 2. I finished it a few days ago and has a good set of advantages over emulating. There's a mini guide in an old post in this sub but I wanted to make a more datailed guide

Max starts the Golden Age of Marvel Mods with a R$5000 bounty for whoever mods char slots into Marvel 3.
But now there's NSA's Ghidra which has accelerated decompilations/reverse engineering a ton, it means that within a few years any active community can fully reverse engineer into human readable code and make major changes, it's why now there's a Driver 2 PC port and a Jak & Daxter PC port with 2 and 3 being in the works despite these games having basically no community before it, Nintendo games have a bigger modding community and a lot of games are on the way to being fully decompiled (bonus in that some games share a lot of stuff, so as one project completes it also makes it so that multiple games also advance faster
