High-level Emulation - Future Outlook

Future Outlook

As the console systems progress into more and more complexity, the importance of HLE approach increases. Modern (6th and 7th generation) video consoles are already far too complex and powerful to facilitate their emulation using the traditional approach. Additionally, some systems (notably Xbox) are themselves little more than a standardised PC machine, making it wasteful to try to recreate the hardware using PC as the host machine. Thus, HLE increasingly becomes the only sensible approach.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or outlook:

    If ever the search for a tranquil belief should end,
    The future might stop emerging out of the past,
    Out of what is full of us; yet the search
    And the future emerging out of us seem to be one.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Even in ordinary speech we call a person unreasonable whose outlook is narrow, who is conscious of one thing only at a time, and who is consequently the prey of his own caprice, whilst we describe a person as reasonable whose outlook is comprehensive, who is capable of looking at more than one side of a question and of grasping a number of details as parts of a whole.
    G. Dawes Hicks (1862–1941)
