Is the Silent Hill Native PC Port Better Than Emulation?

The Silent Hill 1 decompilation project hit a milestone giving us a fully playable native PC port. But is a native execution always superior to traditional emulation?

We take an objective, critical look past the hype. We break down the reality of this alpha port, including its open use of AI tools like Claude Code and compare its raw performance against a highly optimized, upscaled DuckStation setup.

2:40 - The DuckStation Advantage (Polished Emulation)
4:11 - Breaking the Atmosphere: The Fog Problem
5:12 - Native vs. Emulation: The Verdict
6:09 - Decomp Gameplay

What do you think? Does the AI-assisted coding turn you off from trying the port, or is the raw native performance worth the alpha bugs? Let me know in the comments below!
