Title: Do game companies use emulators of their own systems?
Post by: sleepin_dude_99 on October 10, 2007, 01:18:10 PM
Think about it, how else do they get such perfectly perfect gameplay videos?

Not in that way, no.

WRONG

Well, in a way, you're right, but at the same time. you're wrong.

There are two reasons they release games once a week on the Shop Channel.

One is so that the shop channel doesn't die in a week.

Two is because they have to change the coding ever so slightly so that...

A. You can use the Gamecube Controller/Wii Mote/ Classic Controller

B. The format is for the Wii, not the original system.

But you're still technically right >_>

What is a game emulator?
A program on one system that emulates games from another, allowing the host system's control devices, processor, and other specs to be used with the emulation of the guest system.

On computer emulators, they're made so that you can control with keyboard (or USB controllers or whatnot).
On Wii Virtual Console, it's made so that you can control using Wiimote, Classic Controller, and/or Gamecube controller.

i dont understand the logic of somebody using an Output cable on a DS/lite, considering the fact that they always gotta be looking @ the touch screen. unless you wanted to show an enitre room full of ppl wut  youre playing

You can hook a Wii up to your computer, do the math.
