What people would be best off reporting back under emulation of OS4.1 on more powerful hardware is how well web browsing with Odyssey works, if they are able to stream Videos via SMTube and if they can run games Like Gorky 17, Quake II or Return to Castle Wolfenstein at a reasonable speed under emulation. I would say if you arent able to run these at a reasonable speed then you are missing out on the fun.
FYI I used to run OS4.1 FE with my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 under emulation and it struggled compared to running it on the dedicated hardware.
