game, with your childhood
"Pokemon Let's Go"
Recently, the Yuzu development team of Nintendo Switch emulator recently released the latest development version. Through testing, it was found that large games like "Pokemon Let's Go" can run at full speed.
Friends who hear this, don’t cheer and tell you a better news. In history, 90% (perhaps more) of the mainstream game consoles that were once on the market can find the corresponding emulators on Windows and Mac
, but wait, so what if I buy a terrible game console? It’s perfect to play directly on the PC!
may not be necessary. First of all, we need to know that if this is reasonable, the manufacturer will not need to release the game console. Isn’t it better to directly release the simulator? The so-called host, the value it launches is the value of your ability to use it happily, such as the handheld console, , and the game console with somatosensory function. All game consoles do not require complicated settings or parameter adjustments, and do not have to worry about computer performance - you can play it with just paying money.
However, money is a big problem
. When one day you find that there is an emulator,
pay attention. If you are not careful, you may be illegal. The
emulator is not illegal in itself, but having an emulator alone means that you only have one game console hardware - you can't play anything, and you don't even have images when you turn on the computer, because there is no game console system. If you search for some free downloaded games such as rom (equivalent to digital version of software) and host bios (system) on the Internet, then theoretically, it is an illegal act after more than 48 hours.
In fact, since the mid-1990s, the development of simulators has been continuing, starting with the world's first Sega MD simulator.
various hosts have been developed to emulators one after another, and even arcades are no exception.
can simulate the host for play, which of course will arouse fierce resistance from manufacturers. The most famous one is Sony's VGS simulator that was confronted by Sony in the late 1990s, which is a Sony PS1 simulator.
At that time, in order to avoid copyright issues, this emulator used homemade PS bios, but because it was publicly sold on the Mac platform and also obtained the platform of Jobs, Sony's senior management was furious and directly sued the production company of VGS and another emulator BLEEM at that time.
However, in the end, the simulator produced by these two companies was completely reverse development and did not copy any of Sony's source code. In the end, both companies won the case around 2001, and the simulator itself became a legal existence (at least in the United States). This also made Sony very angry. In the end, Sony directly bought the VGS software itself, and the smaller Bleem could not withstand Sony's various means of siege and eventually went bankrupt.
The end of the Sony simulator war does not mean the end of the simulator industry. On the contrary, more and more emulators are beginning to be born
From FC, SFC, PCE and other home hosts
to GB, GBA, PSP and other handheld machines
even arcade machines are simulated. In 2001, the kawaks emulator, which is widely known as domestic players, was released by American programmer Mr.K.
. This emulator is swept the simulation world with the super performance of only Pentium 166M to run CPS, CPS2, and NEOGEO, and the earliest multi- arcade emulator released in 1997, MAME
, and the most powerful emulator launched later, Nebula, three points to the world.
Until now, the latest PS3 emulator
NS emulator and so on are also constantly updated.
even appeared multi-system full-platform simulation artifact like Retroarch
directly led to many Android devices becoming game consoles.
, and console manufacturers are not idle either. Nintendo , Sega, Sony, snk, Capcom and other manufacturers have acquired some emulators to launch nostalgic collections on new consoles, support peripherals for old consoles, or - launch replica game consoles
, recently very famous are the miniFC series
,
, 27
, and NEOGEOmini
, launched by SNK, have been popular with players through its mini portable shape and built-in classic games. Similarly, it is also popular among pirated manufacturers. There are endless imitation and retro machines with built-in 400,500 games, and some even directly copy the original mini machine to use inferior products as good ones.
and Sony also launched the replica version of the first generation PS at the end of 2018. Classic
However, due to game selection and console design, the effect was not as expected. Since PS classic uses not a simulator developed by Sony itself, it is a new open source emulator PCXS, which has a little less efficient operation. It was even compared with SFCmini after flashing the machine, and the same game ended up losing.
Speaking of this, maybe everyone is itchy. But here is not to tell everyone that you can use the emulator to play games. In fact, the emulator itself only uses the host function. To play games on it, you can only use the original software or export your own original software files. All games downloaded from others are illegal. The actual game feeling, such as the control method, picture frame rate and picture quality, may not be 100% "original flavor". If you really want to play old games, why not look for the official replica console?
Tips: is not something you can play all the games on this model with an emulator. Due to various reasons such as hardware structure, controller type, etc., many games in the emulator cannot be well supported, and some games cannot be played at all. Therefore, having an emulator and perfect simulation are two concepts. Nowadays, many small domestic factories have made some hardware, stuffed them into relatively mature simulators such as FC, SFC, GBA, CPS, etc., and made them into universal gaming consoles.
