I personally think we have now good technology of video games. After a while, we built up technology every year and now we have good technology to make great game designs, great modes and game features. As time goes by, we discover more and more technology. That means that in the future there will be awesome designs, and features for games that maybe video games and systems will be one of the Top Sellers of our nation.

I think that for the future of gaming, there should be super consoles. Not consoles that play every single game format but consoles that play games form the previous console like the PS2 and Gameboy Advance!
Now that the new consoles use disks it would be easier to make that happen! Graphics (for Nintendo) don't need improving anymore and the sound quality is great (depending on yout TV) so why make consoles that can't play current games? The dreamcast would have been better if it could play saturn games!

The simple answer Edgy is 'emulation'. Emulation software tricks hardware into thinking it is something else. For example, my PC has software that makes it think that it is a Spectrum from time to time and at these times I can play Spectrum games on it. Also there is DreamCast,PSX, PS2,(yes, I did say PS2), N64, Genesis (Megadrive), etc emulation software downloadable free from lots of places on the web.
The trouble with it is, every PC has a different configuration of hardware and it is virtually impossible to take every chipset and setup into account when programming for PC's in general, therefore emulation software is still not very good (although for the Spectrum and Megadrive it runs pretty well.)
So what you need is a dedicated piece of hardware and software that will account for all consoles. Not easy, the console manufacturers would have you up in court before you could say "The 3rd Place" and slapping copyright laws in your face for the next few years. It can be done, but it would be a bit like the everlasting match, a lot of corporations wouldn't want it to be put on the market, therefore it's not likely to happen.
In response to the original post, I was looking at it and reading it at about 4am this morning and thinking "But what is your point?" so I didn't initially replay.

Emulation is crap, and it is no way any good to gaming!
Far too soon, unfortuantly.
There's a little GBA emulator out there somewhere as well. Bound to be a fake, but shows how quickly technology evolves.

it's probably just a GBC emulator. I have one, I think it's really cool, I only have a couple of games though.
The N64 one's the worst.
I have a CD full of Spectrum and C64 games and emulators. Both the disks have over 3000 games each on them. Emulators are top!
If anyone wants a disk, let me know.
