Alas, it's not that simple. There will be "bugs" which aren't just bugs but more like incomplete and/or incorrect logical implementations of features of the original HW. Just saying that 'XYZ' demo isn't working will not help unless there is someone in the team familiar enough with the expected behaviour AND the VICE architecture AND the original HW AND enough time on their hands - to be able to fix it without breaking something else. There are deeply non-trivial aspects of the TED that can not be implemented any other way. I actually submitted a few patches to VICE like 10+ years ago but the inherently instruction based architecture at the time was simply too ill-suited for a convenient implementation of most TED quirks so a major code refactoring would have been desirable first.
