Wow. I had no idea the GC was like that. Usually emulation is more convenient than the real console but I guess there has to be exceptions periodically :/
It's still more convenient than the real hardware though... higher resolution, HD/4k texture packs, the ability to use unlimited memory or SD cards, your personal preferred controller, have a great cheat device, and so on... It's just that some games don't like you saving at any random point in the game (compared to ingame-saves) because that would mean it would break the gameplay experience and since some games are able to communicate to each other to transfer stuff (e.g. pokemon) it would be possible to get a fully decked out pokedex without putting real effort into it that could transfer all the way up to the switch.
