   Why is this better than running Windows 98 on a guest VM (non-emulated) on modern x86 hardware?

   Surely a modern hypervisor should be able to emulate a retro Voodoo 3D card.

      It's a highly specialized use-case where every little detail of the timing and hardware is important. So that, for example, games run exactly right.

      For folks without this particular use case, other emulation solutions are probably better.
