Message: [QUOTE="valosagutas, post: 218761, member: 77791"] Well when the system uses native hardware to work we can't say it emulation because we say it emulation to mean system creates a virtual hardware to run as a software because it lacks the hardware. It involves translation of the process due to CPU difference. It involves making sense of data that has to go to RAM and GPU and translations of these too. The more accurately to make things clear out in terms of how $ony backward capability works for PS3: PS1 is necessarily an emulation because it has no PS1 hardware. However, if the PS3 is fat: It's fat because it ate native PS2 hardware so it doesn't have to emulate it. If PS3 is slim it means it has no PS2 hardware in it, then it necessarily emulates PS2. Now the topic is "save state". It's an emulator thing because emulator has all the power on the whole game's process. It knows how it does use CPU, GPU and RAM. Thus it can be developed in a way to dump the collective process in a way emulator can start running the process in the context of how the game works. $ony developed emulators but they didn't care about a save state. PS3 makes it harder for the scene unless a miracle happens and Programmer Jesus™ descents from heaven lolol. [/QUOTE]
