Games where an emulated console version outclasses the PC port? (kbin.run)

I’m putting a lot of my old games on my steam deck by buying their PC ports whenever they go on sale.

It got me wondering, is anyone aware of games where it’s actually better to run the console version through an emulator than play the native PC version?

In the capcom data leak which was way before that, the company was looking to lock down their games to prevent modding because that apparently ruins their image and is considered 'cheating'. The nude mod at the tournament definitely accelerated their actions, but they always had that plan in mind.

and now look. They've got unrelated people online recommending a person doesn't buy from them because it'll be a poor experience. Is being detached from reality a requirement for upper management?
