The title is misleading and the video is a bit obtuse, but the project is really fun. Basically, he’s driving a physical NES through it’s cartridge slot using a custom rigged hardware+software package based on a Raspberry Pi.
- deaddodo 8y agoI mean, he explains in the video what he means by "reverse emulating". Instead of emulated hardware (software) driving software, he's having the actual hardware interface with hardware. Maybe a misnomer, but a fairly accurate description, IMO.
- Aardwolf 8y agoThe reverse part seems to be that a less powerful machine is emulating a more powerful machine (with some help from an external CPU :))
- moron4hire 8y agoThe reverse part is that he's running the real hardware with an emulated cartridge ROM, rather than a (dump of) a real ROM on emulated hardware. It's explained in the video.
- Bromskloss 8y ago> he explains in the video The video sets a good example for the title.
- djmips 8y agoSpoiler alert
- corysama 8y agoYeah, spoiler. But, IMHO without the spoiler most people wouldn't have the motivation to sit through the video at all.
- userbinator 8y agoSounds similar to the idea of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-circuit_emulation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-circuit_emulation
