00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.520
now Nintendo recently filed a patent for Game Boy emulation which would allow

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.920
folks to have the Game Boy experience on devices that range from their mobile

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:14.599
phones all the way to the displays on the backs of the seats in front of them

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.720
on trains and airplanes cool right wait hold on a minute lus what exactly is

00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:23.119
emulation are they going to cut open all those seats and stuff game boys inside

00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:27.439
where will they get so many game boys are they going to try to take mine no

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:32.320
whoa hold on slow down there turbo they don't need actual game Boys in fact

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:37.559
that's exactly the point of an emulator to use software combined with high-speed

00:00:35.239 --> 00:00:42.399
or specialized Hardware to effectively fake the functionality of another piece

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:48.120
of hardware for the purpose of running or debugging programs so that Game Boy

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:53.039
emulator is just a software program that runs on Hardware that is nothing like an

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:57.640
actual game boy but is able to imitate its functionality so the game software

00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:03.320
itself never knows it's not running on a real Game Boy neat hey yeah Linus that

00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:08.799
sounds super awesome so can I emulate the Titan supercomputer on like my phone

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.880
and run complex weather simulations in my

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:16.400
pocket no uh even with intimate knowledge of how a device and the

00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:21.240
software it runs works the non-specialized processing power

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.640
required to fake a given functionality purely in software especially one for

00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:29.600
which highly specialized purpose-built Hardware has been developed is often an

00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:34.640
order of magnitude greater than the original or more and in many cases

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:39.399
especially where emulation is being used to preserve the gaming experiences of

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:44.399
old games or software that wouldn't otherwise run on Modern computers a fair

00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:48.880
bit of brute forcing it is required to achieve sufficient

00:01:46.119 --> 00:01:53.240
performance okay lonus sweet then so I can run like Odell Lake on my Alienware

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:57.479
riveting I'm glad you made a video about this actually emulation is not just for

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:01.680
old stuff it's often used in the design of future products as well one of my

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:07.399
favorite examples of this is the recurring Scandal of oh my goodness the

00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:13.000
game console maker X was using a PC to run their demos at video game convention

00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.640
y well of course they were it's called a

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:20.360
development kit imagine a world where a new game console came out and then you

00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:24.800
had to wait the typical 2 to three years that a AAA game takes before you could

00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:30.160
actually play anything on it programmers use devkits often developed internally

00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:34.599
to write code for systems that aren't actually finished being designed yet so

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:38.360
that once the hardware is finalized there's already software for it and

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:43.040
programmable Hardware like a modern video game console is just one example

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:46.840
of this it can be even more useful in the design of specialized Hardware

00:02:44.959 --> 00:02:50.159
called an embedded system where the hardware and software need to work

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:54.920
tightly together to reduce power consumption and design complexity

00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:59.040
keeping costs low emulation of the hardware allows faster testing of

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:03.200
software which allows faster refinement of the hardware multiple cycles of which

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:07.920
can occur without ever actually physically manufacturing anything

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:12.519
efficient right so there you have it emulation has the advantages of

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:17.239
flexibility potentially improved functionality anti-aliasing add-ons for

00:03:14.760 --> 00:03:22.560
PlayStation 1 games anyone and when done well lower Hardware costs but with the

00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:28.840
drawbacks of sometimes imperfect compatibility and usually much higher

00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:33.400
processing power requirements speaking of power requirements Cooler Master is

00:03:30.760 --> 00:03:39.159
our sponsor for today they make cases fans all-in-one liquid coolers air

00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:43.040
coolers peripherals like that Nova touch tkl that people keep asking about in the

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:47.879
videos over on my other channel L Tech tips and of course great quality power

00:03:45.799 --> 00:03:51.439
supplies if you were interested in something like a holiday gift for the

00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:55.319
geek in your life maybe give them a little prod hey dog you know is your CPU

00:03:53.760 --> 00:03:59.000
running a little bit too hot you need new power supply for that new graphics

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:02.720
card that you asked your grandma for well you know maybe we could arrange for

00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:09.680
you to you know get the whole bundle and have like a great Cooler Master PC um

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:14.439
yes I don't know Nick's notes in here are terrible Nick your notes on the the

00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:17.720
video integration are terrible but the last couple things that are in there is

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:21.239
that the nepon 240m which is a cooler that we actually checked out recently on

00:04:19.239 --> 00:04:24.639
the lus tech tips channel is a great value for someone looking for an

00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:27.960
all-in-one liquid cooler for their CPU and if you're not necessarily looking to

00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:32.440
buy something but you just enjoy learning I mean you're watching fast as possible so probably do then you can

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:38.360
check out their Cooler Master University site which will be linked in the video description where they've got some cool

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:41.600
information about cool things like coolers thanks for watching guys like

00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:49.120
this video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment if you thought that my cool joke was not very

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:54.440
cool just awful or if you have suggestions for future fastest Possible

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.440
episodes just like this one
