I think the best example of backwards compatibility is the I/O processor on the PS2. The fact that it's an entire PS1 SOC is pure genius. The story of how a junior engineer was tasked with the PS1 BC to work on the PS2 was very interesting

I'm really happy that emulation is always evolving with the advent of 4K emulators like DuckStation

This actually helped me understand why PS2 emulation is so complicated and needs so much tinkering

I'm so grateful for emulation. So many companies don't re release classic games and without all of this archival some may have been lost to time

As always very informative. Thank you.

Emulation is basically an IQ test and I failed it.

Not sure if this is related to emulation and more of a doftware issue but I'm curious if the old games graphics have been modded to match what we see on CRTs. A lot of games utilused dithering on old TVs to correct for limitations but now they look like shit on modern TVs. So I'm wondering that has been corrected for also in the emulation process.

This Is a very well made video, but the thumbnail made me almost not click it.

You could get a lot more views if you just fix up the thumbnail.
