Gaming Do we know if Super Mario 3D all stars is run through an emulator?

On a side note here... am I the only one who does not like the main menu in the game?

It seems they are indeed emulated:

They are emulated and people are experimenting with other GCM files. Seems one user has the original Luigi Mansion running this way.

Original message:

Luigi's Mansion seems to boot and work with swapped .gcm (First 5 minutes anyway!)
Oh dear.. there goes my whole day..
Edit: The first cutscene didn't play at all. I'm guessing it's something to do with hagi.config?
Didn't touch the rom.json or hashes at all and seems to work right out of the box?

So its matter of time when scene will dump more GC/Wii games to work through same emulator?

Yeah they are running on an emulator however the games aren't the exact same ones from wii, gamecube and n64. I'm pretty sure the Mario 64 is the updated Japanese version but just translated

Mario 64 and Sunshine are emulated. Galaxy is hybrid, having at least some custom code.

Both Galaxy and Sunshine are hybrids, both using a native executable with audio and graphics being emulated.

1. the rom is validated by some kinf of hash
2. lua is used to change textures from the orignal rom to textures for switch (like gamepad buttons and the like)

Iirc the hashes turned out to be a non issue.
