What if the game 'executable' is translated once into machine specific ASM ?

Wouldn't that be better than on the fly translation ?

That gets into a big time legal gray area. Plus as already mentioned any self-modifying code will burn up on re-entry.

Why should graphics emu be low-level when the entire gfx chip of Flipper is hardcoded? With exception of the largely unused TEV effects, it should be easy as hell to write a high-level driver/wrapper for Flipper. Of course, you'd need register documentation of some sort to do it, or enough understanding to figure out how the chip works by disassembling a game (sounds painful, but some code mascochists might like it)...

Hey, I didn't say it would be low-level. Reznor did. Take it up with him.

Why would it look bad? Have you seen the dev kit screen shots where many of them look near perfect?

I said _it would be incredibly slow_ if it didn't look bad. You can make it look worse for speed in lots of ways though... lower the resolution, NULLify some graphical effects, lower the precision, lower the filtering...

Why I'm glad nintendo came up with a format to effectively stop piracy, I really wish it wasn't so unfriendly to emulation....I'd probably like to play some gamecube games on my pc with enhanced graphics/features/whatever in 5-7 years from now.(or less if it turns out like n64 and psx)

There are images floating around the net somewhere... but their possible locations shall not be discussed. The catch: They're 1.35GB each.

no really, i think it's all about the fact that "it can be done"... u know, like some crazy guy trying to, i don't know, touch his nose with his big toe while playing Amplitude on INSANE difficulty AND drinking beer.... it wont serve any purpose, but for him it might be good to know that he can do it... but if anyone can do it, gosh thats one hell of a feat
