Very nice article. 5 minutes well spent. That screenshot doesn't look like Metroid Prime to me though.

Nice read.
I do think however that he goes too in-depth at some points for readers that wouldn't have a huge knowledge of emulation. (the Chip8 opcode parts which shouldnt of went to the point of actually showing code... and BIOS bit...not everyone knows what it is)

Aniway, just my 2 cents

It's good to clean up the overall image of the emulation scene but i think it maybe should have been on another platform.
