[QUOTE="Heretic, post: 260382, member: 580"] Emulation in this context is a way of reproducing part of the original hardware in software. this enables farsightt to "read" the original rom, as far as the rom is concerned it's running on the real deal machine. Scripting is a "rule sheet" where they hand write the rules as accurately as they can so it conforms to the original without using an original rom. This is required when a system is electromechical and pre digital, or if farsighted emulation doesn't support a certain main board or cpu, which is the case for some of the earlier machines such as black knight and firepower. You'd notice better accuracy f such tables were updated.(black knight is pretty borked) I tried to make this as simple as possible heh, there's much more detail of course and I've never seen the source code but I hope this confirms your thinking lol Welcome to the funny farm [/QUOTE]
