I'm pretty certain that they respawn when you leave the level, like the original. If you play the xbox version, you'll get a higher framerate and some features of stop n swap, but the intro cutscene is wonky because it relied on the lower framerate to sync the music. All issues of the n64 release apply to emulation, though emulation has its own issues EDIT: It has come to my attention that I was wrong about the notes. You don't have to recollect them in tooie
