We are in the strange situation with these emulators that all code ever written can be executed today, no problem. Have some Fortran-II code for the IBM 1401?

We are in the strange situation with these emulators that all code ever written can be executed today, no problem. Have some Fortran-II code for the IBM 1401? No problem. Want to run some Analytical Engine code (a machine that couldn't even be constructed)? No problem: https://www.fourmilab.ch/babbage/emulator.html https://www.fourmilab.ch/babbage/emulator.html Can you really say that this early code is obsolete? I think not, it's just different.

Dolphin runs Wii. Code, Xenia does XBox360 - but the future for XBoxOne emulation looks bleak.

  Eh the new consoles use x86 pc parts. The xbone even runs a windows kernel. It would be less emulation and more just figuring out the supporting software. This is also the case with the original xbox. It's been hard to get working because it uses proprietary nvidia drivers and some weird version of windows 2000.
