Yeah, emulators are hard to get right... trying to get games working (and looking, and running) in emulation exactly as they do on the actual systems is obviously very hard given how most emulators are. Some are quite good, some not as good... but it's clearly a lot of work and yes, they definitely have to do game-specific stuff for some games to get them to work correctly.
But just as important is the fact that it requires a lot of processor power. I mean, N64 is a pretty slow system but you need a reasonably powerful machine to run those games in emulation well... many times more powerful than a real N64. It's the same on consoles, and that's a big problem for recent system emulation. Such as X-Box on X-Box 2.
