Yeah, it's super interesting! Admittedly at a level of hardcore codery that means basically nothing to me ("the sound processor writes echo samples into shared RAM," you fools!!) but neat as a reminder of what has to be going on behind the scenes to make emulation appear seamless. And the real/better-than-real questions obviously have lots of resonance in other disciplines and so on.

Also love the idea that old emulators themselves could become "dead consoles"!
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 30 December 2013 19:40 (twelve years ago)
meanwhile, all this talk about achieving perfect synchronization makes me picture SNES cartridges as pilots loading into an Evangelion and that's kind of fun
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 30 December 2013 19:43 (twelve years ago)
haha! but yeah, it's absolutely true about emulators becoming "dead consoles", there's a long, long history of dead emulators and romsets that work with versions of said emulators, followed by versions of hacks that only work with those romsets and emulators. it can get to be an ugly mess.

I agree but the guy is upset that zSNES can't properly emulate Speedy Gonzalez
― 乒乓, Monday, 30 December 2013 20:30 (twelve years ago)
Hahahahha, yeah that was kind of beautiful. Imagine the frustration of sinking two hours into playing Speedy Gonzales and then not being able to finish.

Just watched that blindfolded Mike Tyson's Punch-Out run, so great! Absolutely love the moments of focused audience silence followed by rapturous, crashing applause upon TKO.
