Games where an emulated console version outclasses the PC port? (kbin.run)

I’m putting a lot of my old games on my steam deck by buying their PC ports whenever they go on sale.

It got me wondering, is anyone aware of games where it’s actually better to run the console version through an emulator than play the native PC version?

Both Tales of Symphonia and Chrono Cross got abysmal PC ports.

Playing the originals in an emulator is definitely a much better experience

Chrono cross had a PC port?!

Looks like there is a recent port on steam.

I really liked the port, but after they fixed all the bugs. When it first came out it would crash on any steamdeck /Linux systems.

The music is fantastic.
