True. But there is very few aversions, and putting an aversion among so much straight examples feels a bit weird. (At least for me. I'm new in this "Troping" thing. :P)
Plus, Porting Disaster are for ports that could have been at least decent, but turned out terrible. "Porting Miracle" is more like an Inversion of Porting Disaster rather than an aversion. :)

I know there's Porting Disaster, where a port becomes far inferior than expected. There's also Polished Port, where a port becomes actually better than the original.
I wanted to know if there's something like a "Porting Miracle", when a video game port faded to be far inferior to the original actually becomes way better than expected.
I thought of this when i played Capcom Vs SNK on PS1. It's clearly too much of a game for the system to handle, but the developers of the port actually made it fit for a PS1. It's not a Polished Port because it doesn't have any extra features. It's just an extremely well made port, where the odds were all against it.
So, do you think there is a trope like this?
