So where does that leave the offender?

Right here, laughing at the guy that will never understand what hardware emulation is.

I've already stated that I understand that how someone might consider flashcarts hardware emulation, regardless that it has zero effect on the gameplay experience. I'll just keep wondering why you keep avoiding the semantic issue of the matter. Stay classy

I'm not really against them, it's a nice way to play games that are otherwise financially unattainable . However, I'd like to own a physical copy to show in the videos up close. Just for flare and presentation. Just the format I'm gonna do my videos in. I have no qualms with the Everdrive or people using them, I'd rather use that versus emulation on some other console or PC.

I see what you mean and definitely agree. Do you have a youtube channel to check out?

I do but currently there's no PC Engine content there yet, I am having trouble getting game recording devices to recognize the component video feed from my Duo. I have a component dongle for PC, an Elgato recorder and a Hauppauge Rocket portable and none of these things see the feed. And I really don't want to use composite because it looks like absolute sh!t. Anyone go any ideas? In any case, here's my newest youtube channel, it's still a baby:

Cool, I've checked out some of your videos - lots of high quality stuff. Be sure to let everyone know when you upload pc engine stuff!!

As for recording game footage, I've never tried but maybe running an upscaler into the elgato is worth a shot? I'm sure someone around here should be able to help you out with that

Keep arguing with the dictionary.  It makes you look extra smart.

I think you may need to work on your reading comprehension.  it's a semantic issue.

[Necromancer]

Hardly.  You say 'someone might consider flashcarts hardware emulation', which implies that you continue to think it's not; then you go on to blather about gameplay experience, which has absolutely nothing to do with anything.  Ergo the dictionary must be wrong.

This is exactly why it's a semantic issue - people ascribe different meanings to certain words; People use different dictionaries. Yes - flashcarts are hardware-based emulation of maskrom based carts. This is where semantics comes in - most people relate "emulation" in gaming to console emulation along with it's negative connotation. This is why I mention the lack of any difference between playing an actual cart versus a flashcart. So - "emulation" is a poor choice of words to describe a flashcart. That's all

Also I'm sorry if I write too formally, I'm in school and have to write this way most of the time.

Because some people are ignorant and think that the only type of emulation is software emulation, we shouldn't use correct terminology.  That's brilliant!

Some people think whales are fish.  They're not wrong, though, it's just semantics.

That's a bit of a stretch.

But really if you go to any other gaming forum most people will agree that when speaking about gaming emulation we are referring to software emulation. Source - I asked this question on another forum (without bias) and not a single person agreed with emulation as the correct terminology for flashcarts, after 81 replies. Semantics is rooted in culture, and generally in gaming culture we don't see flashcarts as emulation. Despite the fact that some hardware components of a real cart are emulated by new hardware in a flashcart.

I'd say an everdrive is emulation if only for the fact the storage medium for the rom is completely different to a Hucard. There is of course more than this but that is sufficient.
Most important thing : Play, enjoy.

It'd be neat to do a survey on all relevant forums regarding this. I think most would see emulation related to software console emulation, but collector-heavy communities would have an amount of people seeing flashcarts as emulation.

I think I'm going to go enjoy some non-emulated games on my flashcart now

All your arguments are invalid, null and void cuz I procured myself a Coryoon already. And when I get it, I'm gonna boil it.

I knew if I prayed to Jesus hard enough, it would happen.

You were praying for Jesus, though. There is a difference.

Still, I think it helped sarumaru procure Coryoon.

There are certain topics you don't discuss in polite company: religion, sex, politics, TG-16, hardware emulation, Super Mario Bros. 2 (NA), Blodia.

Your praying is useless unless you pray to mahKAWK
