Wow. This may be one of the most intense reverse-engineering (and honestly, engineering) efforts I've ever seen for an emulator project before. Capturing the raw LD image to this degree, being able to play it in reverse, etc -- absolutely brilliant. Truly fantastic work.

Top in my list of "insane engineering done by emulator people" is still Dolphin's ubershader; but still, I thank that there are people like the author that dedicate exorbitant time into preserving endangered medium.

The ubershader is cool, for sure but the idea didnt originate in Dolphin and only took them a few years to pull off, using prior art.

OP spent 16 years fighting dragons, using his hw, sw and re skills to the max.

There is no competition.

Why? Ubershaders were a common technique in graphics for many years before Dolphin adopted them.

What in my comments makes you think I haven't read it already? :-)

		Only funnier if either you wrote it, or it cites you as the main source of its information. 'But doctor… I am Pagliacci.'

		Even if you have, others would probably like that story, since I recall it being well-received here in the past.
