Thanks to a recent update to the WiiSX / CubeSX emulator, PlayStation 1 (PS1) games are now playable on the Nintendo GameCube, offering an exciting new way for retro gaming enthusiasts to experience classic titles.

I'm not sure, but the reasons for being "wobbly" are pretty interesting: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/5019/why-do-3d-models-on-the-playstation-1-wobble-so-much

If I was deigning an emulator, I'd try to match the behavior of the original system as closely as possible, since people designing a program for that system might have depended on any behavior they observed (intentionally or unintentionally), so I'd keep the "wobble" (or provide a way to disable it, but keep it enabled by default).

There is no ability to benefit from poor texture mapping. The wobbling textures are essentially random. There is a finite number of PS1 games, and no game has ever "depended" on this behavior. Your argument is nonsense. Current emulators have the ability to fix textures.
