I've often wondered about all the Classic Video Games that are already on services like Xbox Live Arcade. Are these in-house emulators, or rewrites of old games?

I've heard about two ways - emulator, or where source is available a port. Haven't heard about full rewrites, though I'm sure they exist, especially because the rewrites can be written a lot more sloppily than the originals, given the completely overpowered hardware they're being made to run on.
