To Repro or to Emulate?

Alpha (?) of the multiplayer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAzfmFt1lB8 (On emulator)
Beta (?) of the multiplayer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTPDYOk03RU (On actual cart)

The problem with N64 repros is that Nintendo combined 2 chips into one for the N64, and that's a tricky thing to workaround. I've heard of a few repro N64 carts going around, and eventually, I'd love to get my hands on one to see what the maker did to get it to work and see if I can't reproduce that concept for other games. More of a proof of concept (and challenge) than anything.

1: I too have heard that easier and cheaper way of making it has been found.
2: I hope someone would finish the multiplayer portion that is available in alpha stage (I believe it is not too badly unfinished, just needs some cleaning and better stage select).
3: I hope N64 repros would become possibility.

I read a few articles the other day that there is a finished version of Star Fox 2 with no bugs and other stuff that wasn't in the roms that were dumped. Sadly it's probably lost to us.
EDIT: Here's one of them http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/05/a_totally_complete_version_of_star_fox_2_really_does_exist

True, we did get the prototype rom after all so it could happen :)
