Nintendo – Patent für Gameboyemulator auf Smartphones angemeldet

Nintendos Politik im Bezug auf Smartphones war bisher immer recht abweisend. Doch nun meldete die Firma ein interessantes Patent an. Demnach handelt es sich um einen Emulator, der es ermöglicht, alte Gameboy, Gameboy Color und Gameboy Advance Klassiker auf Smartphones abzuspielen. Hier die Beschreibung des Patentes:

“A software emulator for emulating a handheld video game platform such as GAME BOY.RTM., GAME BOY COLOR.RTM. and/or GAME BOY ADVANCE.RTM. on a low-capability target platform (e.g., a seat-back display for airline or train use, a personal digital assistant, a cell phone) uses a number of features and optimizations to provide high quality graphics and sound that nearly duplicates the game playing experience on the native platform. Some exemplary features include use of bit BLITing, graphics character reformatting, modeling of a native platform liquid crystal display controller using a sequential state machine, and selective skipping of frame display updates if the game play falls behind what would occur on the native platform”
