Why is it so hard for modders to port games to pc

Why is it that game Devs are able to port games to pc but people aren’t able to do the same outside of emulation that take a while and doesn’t always run the best. I don’t know much about game development or computers, why is it so difficult/impossible?

There’s some great answer’s here, so I’m just going to mention a decomp/porting project called Metaforce which has a discord if you want to drop in and watch Metroid Prime get ported to PC in real time (things have been a bit slow over the last few months, but when they’re active there’s usually a stream of really cool info). From what I’ve seen they’re excited about the project and try their best to answer any questions asked, high or low.

Here’s a link to the github where you can set it up yourself and also has links to the discord: [https://github.com/AxioDL/metaforce](https://github.com/AxioDL/metaforce)
