Comment on Recompilation: A New Way to Keep N64 Games Alive [video]

Couldn't this be considered more like an en-bedabble HLE emulator? The high level aspect is much more sophisticated than we've previously seen which allows for all those enhancements and better integration with the host system, plus all sorts of (I imagine) warpers to make the recompiled code work on the host system, which is kind like an emulator. Or maybe more like WINE + recompiled code.

And of course, as noted in the video, the hard part of reverse engineering is still there, so you still have to figure out the meaning of each piece of code and give it proper symbols, but now you have this really nice pre-generated scaffold all around it :)
