| | Interesting legality issue: console vs emulator - Indiegamer Developer Discussion Boards |
| | Console emulation is much in the same boat, but its usually easier to find and buy an old cartridge than an old game board. | | | Making a console game to only be played in an emulator is probably fine if youre using it only as a portfolio piece that you show to potential employers. | | | Basically, he is not making a game for the console itself, so Nintendo has no way of saying he needs a license. |

| | This has happened in cycles of about 5 years or so, in which multiple manufacturers release their consoles within about a year of each other, then they and the video game publishers enjoy several years of game sales until technology has improved enough for a new cycle to begin. | | | At that point, games for the old consoles generally enjoy some residual sales, but the video game public as a whole has moved on to the new generation of machines. | | | Video games are made by developers, sometimes individuals, but almost always a team consisting of designers, graphic designers and other artists, programmers, sound designers, musicians, and other technicians. |

| | Use of a Game Over: Emulation and the Video Game Industry, A White Paper |
| | Console manufacturers and game publishers should consider how to build their competitive advantage by responding to the unmet consumer demand that drives the emulation phenomenon, pricing their products reasonably and dynamically so as not to drive customers to emulators, and using the law judiciously to protect their intellectual capital. | | | Console manufacturers should acquire best of breed emulators and use the acquired IP in their defense against other emulator developers (who often emulate source code from the leading emulators). | | | Emulating a video game system for the first time, without detailed information on the parent system's hardware and software, can be a time consuming process. |

| | Originally, the program was developed as an in-house application by the Dutch animation studio NeoGeo (not to be confused with the Neo-Geo game console) and Not a Number Technologies (NaN); the main author, Ton Roosendaal, founded NaN in June 1998 to further develop and distribute the program. | | | Although Blender (as of Version 2.41) still lacks features found in current proprietary systems (e.g., ngon based modeling workflow), Blender's workspace management is considered to be amongst the most innovative GUI concepts for graphical tools and is believed to have inspired proprietary software vendors' interface design (e.g., Luxology's Modo). | | | The first large professional project in which Blender was used was Spider-Man 2, where it was primarily used to create animatics and previsualizations for the storyboard department. |

| | This is because video game consoles had dedicated graphics hardware, were able to load data instantly from ROM, and a low resolution output would look better on a television because it naturally blurs the pixels. | | | Each video game is usually contained on a specifically designed multimedia disc or cartridge, which are generally sold separately from the console and each other. | | | The game consists of manipulatable images (and usually sounds) generated by a game console, and displayed on a television or similar audio-video system. |
