That was a great video. I mean for the tiny fraction of nerds that are deep enough into computer architecture and/or assembly. So like I said, great video.
That was surprisingly easy to understand for an incredibly technical subject. I’m so glad there are some über-geeks who are willing to do this level of work to preserve gaming history.
It was particularly interesting hearing how newer Intel processors are missing some of the recently-added instructions that are useful for PS3 emulation and equivalent instructions aren’t planned to be reimplemented for years. That makes it pretty clear that maintaining emulators that operate at this level requires constant maintenance and tweaking to adjust to different chipsets as they evolve.
