why is it that you can rewind nes emulation but not anything else?

>> No.2061919

I don't know, why is that?

Because you're an idiot.

many emulators have this feature. I don't know where you got the idea that NES is the only one.

>> No.2062245

Rewinds are just a series of save states.

The NES has a tiny RAM, so it is not much hassle to keep a lot of these tiny RAM snapshots, therefore practically every NES emulator has this feature.

Where can I get controllers like that? Those are pretty cool.

>> No.2064494

OP, calm down.

Do you know those games that have a replay after a fight, like Tekken? The same concept applies. You store a few seconds in RAM, and you can come back a few instructions. You can do pretty rad stuff if you know your code (which very few programmers really did, back in the day), like making a Portal clone in SNES, or a Prince of Persia Sands of Time clone on the Mega Drive.

I came in thinking this was a troll thread.
I was right, but for all the wrong reasons, it seems.

You can even rewind in DeSmuME.
