This implies that in order to play video console game, we need to launch the emulator and choose the game we want to play.įront-ends come up with the idea of gather all the emulators in a single interface, and launch the games from this interface. It is also quite normal to have a wide collection of video game consoles ROMs. For example, we can have an emulator for Super Nintendo ( Snes9X), other for Sega Mega Drive/ Genesis ( Kega Fusion), other for PlayStation ( ePSXe), etc. In the world of emulation, it is common to have several programs emulators that emulate different video game consoles.
Having an idea of what are emulators, we can address the issue of the front-ends. So if you read on any website the word ROM, it is making reference to the file that contains game data.
For these cases, there are special hardware that convert the content of the cartridges into files with a special format. In this case we must take into account that although we have the emulator, we will not be able to play original Game Boy video games, since our PC does not have any special slot to enter and read the original cartridges of the Nintendo handheld game console. This way we will be able to play a video game developed for one video console, in the emulator program. That is to say, the hardware (diodes, resistors, etc.) components of the video console are “translated“ into programming instructions (if, else, while, etc). For example, if we can play the Game Boy video games on PC, it's thanks to emulators, which are developed in such a way that they are able to “ imitate” the inner functionality of that game console, and code that functionality in some programming language, so it can be executed in the computer. The emulation of systems is the capacity to run programs from one platform in a completely different one.
