Making a Killing, Killing a Dragon
One of the most common questions I get asked is ‘Why is the PGM hardware so badly emulated?’
The answer to this is simple, it isn’t. The actual PGM emulation (aside from the sound chip) is mostly complete. The problem is that every single PGM game has it’s own protection scheme, and the later ones (which is the real reason people complain) are very, very well protected, and are IMPOSSIBLE to emulate properly without expensive hardware decapping because even with trojans you can’t read out all the internal ROM code. (So don’t ask about them)
