So something needs to change here but this idea of Emulation as a Service out of libraries seems out of sync with the way libraries currently work.
As far as I know Libraries can’t put up a copy of any other medium for digital distribution. Ebooks are purchased and maintained separately. Films/video still have their distribution controlled by agreements. (Ex. Hoopla doesn’t have a copy of every DVD/Blu-Ray the library has).
Enabling on premise emulation might be the best we can hope for here. Asking every library to maintain classic consoles and a Retrotink 4K to hook them up to modern TVs is nuts.
