The dark secret of EmuVT's origins
« 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:

WinClass_nnnester
NNNesterJ[K01]
NNNesterJ
NNNESTERJ_RESOURCE_DLL
Database_0=M:\Work\VT03\nnnesterJsrc023\famicom.dat
Database_1=M:\Work\VT03\nnnesterJsrc023\nesdbase.dat
Database_2=M:\Work\VT03\nnnesterJsrc023\ingredients.dat[/quote]
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?
