> All of these produce valid video output and show dynamic or structured data.

While they will usually produce video on old CRTs, the video signal they generate is technically not valid. The VSync signal needs to be generated in software, and random programs are unlikely to do so correctly. Different TVs will behave differently (usually rolling on old TVs, blank on new TVs), and probably none would look like what the emulator is showing.

I tried running the game-like ROM in Stella and couldn't get it to work. It seems to depend on the startup state, which means it likely wouldn't run on an actual console.
