A lot of old games have become unplayable on modern hardware and operating systems. I wrote an article about how making games open source will keep them playable far into the future.

I also discuss how making games open source could be beneficial to developers and companies.

Feedback and constructive criticism are most welcome, and in keeping with the open source spirit, I will give you credit if I make any edits based on your feedback.

What do you mean? RPCS3 is an excellent emulator. It's not completely hardware accurate, almost no 3D emulator is, but it's still pretty good.

RPCS3 is indeed excellent, but if you look at their compatibility list about a third of all games aren't in a playable state. The big exclusive titles people usually set up an emulator for will work for the most part, but outside of that it quickly becomes a lot sketchier.

Out of all the games I tried to play, only one of them worked.
