    I think the best example of backwards compatibility is the I/O processor on the PS2. The fact that it's an entire PS1 SOC is pure genius. The story of how a junior engineer was tasked with the PS1 BC to work on the PS2 was very interesting
    I'm really happy that emulation is always evolving with the advent of 4K emulators like DuckStation

      That sounds like a fantastic story!
      Anywhere I can read more about it in detail?

    This actually helped me understand why PS2 emulation is so complicated and needs so much tinkering

    I'm so grateful for emulation. So many companies don't re release classic games and without all of this archival some may have been lost to time

    Not sure if this is related to emulation and more of a doftware issue but I'm curious if the old games graphics have been modded to match what we see on CRTs. A lot of games utilused dithering on old TVs to correct for limitations but now they look like shit on modern TVs. So I'm wondering that has been corrected for also in the emulation process.

    Any engineering people out there hit me up lets get a team together to make a jaguar clone console, and release to public.

    Suppose there is a game and there is a pc version is of it and an emulated ps2 version will ps2 version be harder to play?????

    Are not consoles on a chip "hardware emulation" too?

    • @ZygalStudios
      @ZygalStudios  Před 2 lety +7

      Well, I would think so.
      If they are emulating processing of the original components with different hardware, then yes! Hardware/Software co-design for emulation is necessary for that.

    This Is a very well made video, but the thumbnail made me almost not click it.
    You could get a lot more views if you just fix up the thumbnail.

      Thanks for the feedback! What about the thumbnail made you not want to click?
      This stuff is newer to me 🤣

      @@ZygalStudios I'm not an expert on making thumbnails and youtube videos. But I consume a lot of youtube.
      And I'm not sure if i'm gonna point you in the right direction so don't take my criticism too hard.
      from what i've observed is that. the background picture of the whole thumbnail is good. But the color choice for the font makes the whole thing off putting. plus the whole schematic diagram in the middle makes me all confused.
      again this is just coming from me.
      I made my first comment coz I was surprised that the video you made have less than 1k views. this video deserves more than that.
      I wish you success brother!

      I'm just carious as to why their is no good emulator for the N64. You have PS1 and PS2 emulators that do circles around the N64 emulator.
