RH | 5,325 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Obviously homebrewing is big for many old consoles and many of you are active devs on here. But I'm curious to know if any of you guys also worked on any of the emulators, current or old, that people have used. If so, which ones, what was your developer background at that point and other than playing games, what were your motivations?

RH | 5,325 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Sorry, apparently I missed some notifications to posts I created. @Ferris Bueller I'm not looking to get into emulator development, but I thought it'd be fun to have a general discussion about it. I mean, what did people learn from the experience, looking back what would they have done differently if they started over... what's it like to have an emulator 75% complete that you release to the public for inspection and help (which I know use to happen in the early days and SourceForge was a thing before GitHub.) I don't know, I just thought this would be a fun topic to discuss. I've never more than brushed shoulders with people who have built compilers or other low-level applications and that was professionally. I'm interested in what it's been like actively building these complex apps just for fun.

hakota | 4 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 While I've never written one myself, I recently watched an amazing youtube series that goes through the entire development process of one Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3612-anyone-here-worked-on-or-personally-knows-anyone-who-helped-develop-an-emulator/#findComment-109519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
