What Is Console Emulator? A software or application that Trying to emulate real hardware that usually used for playing old games (maybe? Cmiiw) Note: Definitions of emulator here is not dosbox but like nds emu and it's derivative How emulator work? As described above emulation software will try to emulate a real hardware As accurate as possible But yes, no matter how accurate an emulation is, it's definitely not the same as the original hardware Spoiler: Advantage 1. Easy to use No longer need to buy real hardware (even software or app is paid Still, the price of the emulator application or software is much cheaper than the original hardware) 2. Intergrated cheat (easy to cheat) Well if using real hardware you need manage cheat right before you start or launch the game rom Emulator just activate it while playing Spoiler: Disadvantage Here is limitations of emulation: 1. Sometime Less accuracy: Especially on fps this happened and idk why but for sure is due to emulation process 2. Need more resources Emulation need more resources different with real hardware they usually doesn't need too much 3. Unable to handle encrypted rom: Almost or maybe all Emulator using custom bios that can't load encrypted rom Spoiler: Troubleshooting 1. Emulator Have graphical glitchest or flickering: Disable multi thread 3D and high resolution 3D or change graphic on setting from pal to ntsc Or vice versa 2. Emulator Unable to handle encrypted rom: As i mentioned above all emulator usually using Custom bios Custom bios is limited to what it can do. Different with official bios, Custom bios is unable to handle encrypted rom. The only solution is you need real hardware and original bios from it to get it you need dump it from original hardware and try to instal the official bios on emulator Or Decrypt The Rom (If Possible) Spoiler: Get Emulator How do i get emulator?
