A program that &quot;translates&quot; one device to another, like someone would convert a file from .docx to .pdf? If it were that easy, we would get an emulator the same day every console was released, but that&#039;s not the case. We wait for it for years or never get it at all. It&#039;s one of the most challenging feats in programming ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An emulator is not a simple converter, but a software version of the entire device. The processor, graphics card, memory, sound chip, and operating system, all of which must work together in harmony, in real time, and accurately enough that the game or program doesn&#039;t even notice the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where does development begin? Where do developers get the idea for development?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emulator developers almost never have access to the official technical documentation of the console manufacturer. Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo do not share their internal specifications. On the contrary, they protect this information as a trade secret. That&#039;s why every project starts with something called &quot;reverse engineering&quot; in the industry. This means that developers take the real hardware, disassemble it, analyze the electronic circuits, intercept signals between chips, and gradually build a picture of what the processor actually does with each command from the hardware code of the firmware (i.e., the software built directly into the device).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This often involves a \u201cclean room\u201d approach. One group dissects and documents how the device works, while another group uses this documentation, without ever seeing the manufacturer\u2019s original code, to write a new program that mimics the same behavior. This separation is not just a technical formality, but a legal safeguard, as emulation itself is not illegal, while copying a manufacturer\u2019s proprietary code is. In addition, developers need the console\u2019s original BIOS or firmware, the basic boot program that controls the hardware. Users usually have to obtain this themselves, often directly from their own console, as it is not legally allowed to be distributed together with the emulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What a developer needs to know<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have ever read or will read the developer diaries of emulators like RPCS3 for PlayStation 3 or Eden for Nintendo Switch, you will quickly realize that such development requires a larger team, not just one individual. You need to master a wide range of skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It requires an understanding of the processor architecture, whether it&#039;s PowerPC (the Xbox 360 processor), ARM, MIPS, or x86, including all its instructions, registers, and timing specifics. It also requires mastering the operation of the GPU and translating its instructions into modern graphics interfaces like Vulkan or DirectX. This includes emulating the sound chip, controllers, memory hierarchy, and the console&#039;s operating system, which manages files, threads, and access rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest technical challenge is often dynamic recompilation, also known as just-in-time (JIT) compilation. Instead of the emulator interpreting each command from the original console one by one, which would be too slow, it translates the commands into the host processor&#039;s machine code in real time, executing them at near-native speed. This requires extremely precise knowledge of both architectures at the same time, and the result must remain bit-for-bit identical to the original, otherwise the game will freeze, crash, or display incorrect graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/branden-skeli-ssVt_BoJV2U-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2693621\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why does development take years, sometimes decades?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer lies largely in a single example \u2013 the PlayStation 3. Its Cell processor, co-developed by Sony, Toshiba and IBM, was not a conventional multi-core processor, but a single main processing unit (PPU) combined with eight special auxiliary processing units (SPUs), each of which had its own small local memory and no direct access to the main system memory. Game programmers had to manually divide the work between these units, as no compiler did this automatically, meaning that an emulator could not simply compile the code as it would for a more conventional processor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It must understand the actual purpose of the extremely specific, hand-optimized code. The developers of RPCS3 had to make a processor that broke almost all the assumptions of the x86 architecture about memory, data coherence, and threads, to force their programs to run on hardware that shares few common features with Cell. The first publicly available prototype of the emulator appeared in 2011, and even today, more than a decade later, the team occasionally announces optimization breakthroughs that only now significantly speed up parts of games that previously wouldn&#039;t run or had serious problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Xbox 360 presents a similar, albeit slightly different, challenge. Development of the Xenia emulator began in 2013, and it managed to launch its first commercial game relatively quickly, but by 2018, developers were stuck on accurately emulating the Xenos GPU, which required almost three years of complete rewriting of the graphics code before performance improved significantly. The reason for such long development cycles is not laziness or lack of skill, but the fact that the emulator must understand thousands of edge cases, special commands, bugs in the original hardware that game developers unknowingly or intentionally exploited, and timing peculiarities that no documentation describes because there simply is no official documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another factor is legal pressure. Nintendo is particularly known for wielding the gavel. In February 2024, it filed a lawsuit against the developers of the popular emulator Yuzu, alleging that it illegally bypassed the Switch&#039;s encryption protection, as evidenced by the fact that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom reached one million downloads before its official release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tropic Haze, the company behind Yuzu, agreed to a $2.4 million settlement and shut down the emulator completely, and shortly thereafter, Nintendo also personally contacted the lead developer of the competing project Ryujinx to stop development, remove the organization, and all associated assets. Such cases clearly show why many talented developers prefer to stick to the more \u201csafe\u201d older consoles, while newer projects often remain anonymous or scattered among several parallel forks of the same original project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lander-denys-J72jCU2HuAM-unsplash-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lander-denys-J72jCU2HuAM-unsplash-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2693623\" width=\"322\" height=\"402\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why are some consoles harder to crack than others?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a general rule, the more closely its internal architecture resembles a standard PC, the easier it is to emulate a console. The PlayStation 1 and 2 use relatively conventional processors, so they were emulated relatively early and today run smoothly even on more modest hardware. But when manufacturers incorporate their own, non-standard solutions, such as Cell on the PS3, the complexity increases exponentially. Similarly, the Nintendo Switch, which is based on a custom Tegra chip from Nvidia and has its own quirks in memory and graphics management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The situation is even more complicated with the latest generation, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X\/S, as these are systems that are closer in architecture to modern computers (AMD Zen processors and RDNA graphics), but at the same time protected by much more advanced security mechanisms than were available to previous generations. Currently, there is practically no working emulator for either of these two consoles, as developers are still cracking the basic security layers, which is a much different and slower challenge than classic hardware emulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Emulation on phone and computer, are there any differences?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emulation on mobile devices has an additional hurdle that users often don&#039;t see. It&#039;s the difference between the ARM processor architecture that powers almost all phones, and the x86 that&#039;s standard on PCs. So when you run an x86 or PowerPC-based console emulator on a phone, the program must simultaneously translate instructions from the original architecture to ARM, which is an extra layer of computational work that isn&#039;t needed on a PC, where the host processor is often already x86.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, Apple has until recently practically banned emulators on iPhones. It was only in April 2024 that Apple explicitly allowed retro game console emulators in its App Store guidelines for the first time, which can now also offer game downloads. Before that, the only way to get emulation on an iPhone was either jailbreak or a complicated bypass via web apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even after this change, limitations remain. For security reasons, iOS strictly restricts so-called JIT compilation, i.e. dynamic generation of machine code during program execution, which is the main technique for achieving acceptable speed for more demanding emulators. As a result, many emulators on the iPhone run significantly slower than the same project on Android, where such restrictions are largely absent and where developers have had more open access to system resources for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is there a windows emulator? Winlator, GameHub, GameNative...<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you read my phone reviews, you&#039;ll notice that I often include tests of various Windows games, in addition to Android and Nintendo Switch. In this case, the term &quot;emulator&quot; is not the most technically accurate. It&#039;s more of a set of compatibility layers stacked on top of each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winlator is a free, open-source application from a developer nicknamed BrunoSX (brunodev85) that runs Windows (x86_64) applications and games directly on ARM-based Android devices, without a BIOS, without booting a real copy of Windows, and without a disk image. Instead, Winlator combines two separate technologies, each solving its own part of the problem. The first is Wine, a well-known project that has been translating Windows API calls (commands to open files, access the registry, draw graphics via Direct3D, or play audio) for decades into commands that are understood by the Linux kernel that Android runs on in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second technology is Box86 or Box64, which performs an even more fundamental task. It translates the processor instructions themselves from the x86 architecture to the ARM architecture in real time, since no phone physically has an x86 processor. On top of that, there is a graphics layer. Winlator uses the Mesin Turnip driver for Adreno GPUs and the DXVK and VKD3D tools, which translate DirectX calls to Vulkan, similar to what Proton does on Linux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The user creates a so-called container within the application, a kind of isolated virtual environment in which they set the resolution, virtual amount of VRAM, number of processor cores, and drivers separately for each game or program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since there are two consecutive translations (first API calls, then processor commands), the load on the phone&#039;s hardware is much greater than with classic console emulation. This is also the reason why Winlator runs older or less demanding games relatively well, but with modern AAA games with demanding graphics engines such as Unreal Engine, shader compilation stutter and significant device heating often occur. So far, the RedMagic 11S Pro has coped best with the heat, but it had to use a fan and water cooling for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2693625\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hero-steamos.43912610e9466fe475a0.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2693625\" width=\"845\" height=\"348\"\/><figcaption><strong>EmuDeck is a convenient \u201cfrontend\u201d for many emulators. You will of course need to obtain the system files and games yourself.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are GameHub and GameNative different?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Winlator became popular enough, competitors began to emerge around it, using basically the same technological recipe (Wine, Box64, Vulkan), but differing in how friendly everything is packaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GameNative evolved from the Pluvia project, an unofficial Steam client that allowed users to log into their Steam account via Winlator and directly launch games from their library without having to manually search for installation files online. GameNative was created as a spin-off of the Pluvia project and is currently being developed faster and more actively than the original project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GameHub has a slightly different origin. The app, formerly known as GameFusion, is made by Chinese gaming controller manufacturer Gamesir, and its main advantage is its convenience. It supports Steam login, which the official Winlator does not allow by default, and it also supports vibration in controllers. Since it is a product of a Chinese hardware manufacturer, privacy concerns arose in the community, so a version called GameHub Lite was created without built-in tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is it better to emulate the result or the entire device?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emulators don&#039;t always need to recreate every transistor of the original system. They often use a high-level emulation (HLE) approach. Instead of emulating an entire piece of hardware or system software in detail, the emulator recognizes what the game wants to achieve and performs the same function with its own implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opposite is LLE (low-level emulation), where the developer tries to get as close as possible to the actual behavior of the original hardware or firmware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HLE can be dramatically faster. The problem arises when the game did not use a feature as intended. If a game developer discovered an undocumented peculiarity of the real system and intentionally exploited it, an elegant HLE implementation might do the &quot;logically correct&quot; thing, while the original console did something completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why does one game work perfectly while another doesn&#039;t start at all?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an emulator can emulate a PlayStation 2, why should it even matter which PS2 game I run? Because no two games use the console in exactly the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One game may use only the most common graphics features, while another uses unusual \u201cblending.\u201d One uses standard floating-point calculations, another relies on a very specific rounding scheme. One uses a standard controller, another a microphone or a special accessory. A third may contain a racing engine whose operation inadvertently depends on the precise timing of a processor event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, testing an emulator is not the same as testing a regular application. A really good regression test is a library of hundreds or thousands of games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then comes a patch that finally makes one game work properly, but breaks three others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/aleks-dorohovich-zufXg9Zc9Ig-unsplash-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2693627\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ironically, the \u201cfake\u201d is often better than the original<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When an emulator is accurate enough, it can happen that the emulated game looks and performs better than the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A game that was made for 480p can be rendered in 1440p or 4K by an emulator. It can render geometry at a higher native resolution, improve texture filtering, use modern anti-aliasing, correct the aspect ratio, and in some cases remove the original frame rate limit. The emulator can offer quick save states, time rewind, alternate textures, fixes, and modifications that never existed on the real console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sometimes the emulator works better on Linux than on Windows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many emulators and translation layers, such as Proton, perform better on Linux. The explanation lies primarily in how the operating system communicates with the hardware. Vulkan, a modern and open graphics interface, offers lower CPU usage and more direct control over the graphics card than older, but still commonly used approaches on Windows, and Linux drivers for Vulkan have matured in recent years to the point that they often have less system overhead than Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the DXVK tool, which is part of Proton, translates DirectX calls to Vulkan in real time, which is surprisingly often faster than if Windows itself were to directly execute the native DirectX call, as it avoids certain operating system layers that simply do not exist on Linux. Linux also allows for lower latency in inter-process communication and more predictable thread scheduling within the system kernel, which is a valuable advantage for emulators that must coordinate dozens of parallel tasks in each frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To get into emulator development, you have to be a master and crazy at the same time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you&#039;re juggling CPU commands, API calls, security mechanisms, and silently hoping that Sony and Nintendo don&#039;t come knocking on your door, you also have to endure the high expectations of the community for whom you&#039;re developing an emulator without any financial expectations. A minority, however, who are very vocal, often have overly high and unfounded expectations that developing such software is relatively easy. If there&#039;s an emulator for the Nintendo Switch, developing an emulator for the Nintendo Switch 2 shouldn&#039;t be so difficult, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every new breakthrough actually means months of searching through bugs, reading hex-dumps of machine code, and trying to understand the decisions of today&#039;s and past engineers who wrote code twenty years ago without thinking that anyone would ever try to recreate it on completely different hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination of stubbornness, curiosity, and love for preserving gaming heritage is what makes emulation exist in the first place, and why the fight for each next generation of consoles will start almost entirely anew.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaj je emulator?
