Gaming If we play Genesis Collection (PS2) on PS4, isn't it emulation of emulation?

[eriol33]

Since ps4 emulates ps2 which emulates genesis emulator?

technically yes you are emulating an emulator

It's emulation-ception lol

and almost 100% compatibility isn't it? sometime I am amazed with the accuracy of emulation of emulation. as if we're living in the matrix

well theres HLE and LLE emulation

Can you explain those terms with a non-specialist language?

LLE just runs translates the native code and is the traditional way of emulating. HLE in contrast attempts to simulate the response of the system rather than accurately recreating its internal design. HLE rewrites functions using native c/++ code, and then hooks into calls to that function, and runs the HLE version instead of the native code.

Instead of trying to accurately create or recreate the hardware gate by gate, in HLE a software platform is created on which the emulated code can be run in a host computer having different hardware and a different instruction set. The effort focuses on recreating the appropriate functionality provided by the system emulated. Thus, the emphasis is shifted from the most efficient method of processing data to getting the same (or comparable) results as if the native platform was used. By contrast, the traditional way of emulating is termed. HLE also does not require a console's BIOS file in order to run.

Is Wii mode implemented in CEMU? Then you could go PC > WiiU > Wii > N64 Donkey Kong > Arcade Donkey Kong
