The removal of h264 isn't going to go down well for people who use them for under TV boxes. Will be better off with the Pi4 or another device.

Is software decoding not sufficient? My rPi2 could handle h264 through Kodi up to 1080p and I don't think there was hardware decoding then.

Can you explain this a little bit? I have been looking to buy a Raspberry Pi for emulation on my TV.

Emulation is fine, h264 is often used to codec video, like movies from seven seas.

TL:DR it will have next to no effect on emulation
