Retribution is ultimately a good recreation, but at the end of the day, it is just a recreation, it isn't using the original data. It can get really close, especially with things like d64 style lighting being supported officially in the game now, but you'll always run into subtle differences here and there. One big thing especially is timing, since Doom runs at 35 ticks per second while Doom 64 runs at 30. This seems like a minor difference, but it adds up quickly.
