TheyВ were a huge fan of JRPGs, especially the Final Fantasy series, and brought widespread attention to formerly obscure JRPG Bahamut Lagoon by leading efforts to develop a full English translation patch. Near, formerly known as byuu, was well-known for developing the first SNES emulator with the goal of 'perfect accuracy,' bsnes. The developer had a profound impact on the emulation scene, as well as the documentation and archiving of many rare games.

The transition from the archivists at preferring to see Apple II disk images in raw bit-dump (DSK) file-format, to wanting them as flux-trace ( ) files, which in turn means that copy-protected games can now be preserved in their original, copy-protected state, rather than first needing to be cracked.It is a sad day for the emulation, preservation, romhacking, and retro gaming community as one developer has taken their own life due to reportedly targeted harassment.

This both allows future archivists to easily re-verify that individual dumps are correct to replace bad dumps with better ones without invalidating the hashes for other ROMs that make up the same software title and, in theory, this provides a (coincidentally machine-executable) schematic of the software-title-as-hardware-system, which could be used to reconstruct it wholesale in a future where all existing hardware was lost.

The file-formats of some emulators (again: MAME, Higan) which keep individually-dumped coprocessor ROMs as separate files in a software title's archive file/folder, each with their own metadata rather than inventing custom merged-binary file-formats for each system.

The goal in these types of fixes isn't to run existing games, but rather to make the emulator match the behavior of the hardware for running even novel or previously undiscovered games, such that it can be a useful tool in future conservation efforts, when the original hardware is long gone.

matches console output on every frame for every known software title!) with Low-Level Emulation, which requires a BIOS/firmware dump of a chip to run.

MAME, Higan) to replace, whenever possible, High-Level Emulation code that 'works perfectly' (i.e. ones that are don't have demoscene 'intro' greetz but also which don't have the extra headers that some copiers add and, obviously, which aren't bad dumps.)

The project, whose goal is to curate a database of hashes of 'canonical ROMs' (i.e.

You'll see the effect of this in gaming in the forms of e.g.: There's what the artist created (as seen through the lens of how it was first released/shown, which certainly might involve a publisher or curator-thus the concept of a 'director's cut') and then there's what previous middle-men (curators, other conservators, republishers who acquired the rights after the creator's death, etc.) tacked on after that initial release. But there is a very strong and explicit meaning to 'the canonical work' when you're doing archival/conservatorial work.

It says something important, I think, that these releases of the game aren't automatically shunned by the speedrunning community, the way that runs of the game under an arbitrary emulator on someone's PC would be but rather are just treated as their own separate category-set, in the same way the speedrunning community differentiates different region releases, or version releases, or port/remaster releases. Interestingly, sometimes-because of one of these slight variances-the fastest version of a game to speedrun, is a Nintendo-sanctioned emulated (e.g. Either way, you now have a new 'variant' of the game with its own bugs, but one which is also a canonical, supported release of the game. Or, to put that another way: there's no real difference between a bug introduced by wrapping a game in an imperfect emulator, and a bug introduced during recompilation/porting/remastering of the game. If you later ported that game, you'd seek to be bug-for-bug compatible with the bugs introduced by that emulator, because those bugs are what Nintendo released, and so those bugs are now, in part, what it means to play that game.

Any bugs in the emulation of a Virtual Console title, or a SNES Classic title, or a SNES Online title, are just 'how that version of the game is.' Much like any typos in a particular printing of a book are 'just how that release of the book is.' They're now part of the authorial intent of that release part of the text. then that behavior is just how that particular release of the game has been canonically chosen to behave. Also, when you think about it, if a game behaves differently when run in an emulator, as part of an emulator-and-ROM bundled software product released by Nintendo.
