Title: The dark secret of EmuVT's origins
Post by: codeman38 on June 28, 2011, 10:42:24 AM

When I first used it, I got the distinct impression that VRTech's EmuVT emulator was just too polished to be entirely original code from VRTech. And I thought the interface seemed strangely familiar from some other emulator I'd tried in the past, but couldn't remember which.

Honestly, I don't know why I didn't think to run a string dump on the executable till now:

And they thought we wouldn't notice. Now where's the source code for the modifications, VRTech? ::dangles GPL license text::

So it's basically NNNesterJ except it's capable of running VTxxx games as well? As much I hate to say it, that's probably for the best given that it's doubtful that VRT would've done a better job.

Come to think of it, aren't there any other emulators based off NNNesterJ? And if so, couldn't you just lump the altered code from that with EmuVT?
