Hopefully the Terranigma port is emulated

#Terranigma #emulation

Looking at the promotional materials on the PC pages, the surrounding UI reminds me a bit of the Carbon Engine, LRG's proprietary emulator:

• https://www.gog.com/en/game/terranigma

Saw some sporadic people in two other forums I follow (GBAtemp and Steam's) complaining it's not going to be a remaster. Not many people were engaging in the discussions I found overall (either on the topic or overall about the port), but those complaining seemed sure it's going to be emulated, or at least an 1:1 graphical port. No confirmation of either but seems others suspicions go in a similar line.

But, if either those complaining are a representation of a relevant part of the community, or a small group trying to manipulate things, I think this talk on GDC 2016, "It's Just Emulation" from Frank Cifaldi, is relevant in both cases:

Plus it's a far more legit way to get your ROMs.

Limited Run Games is credited on the Steam page so you're very likely correct this is using their emulator. Moving the UI out of the play screen for a JRPG seems like a nice QoL change.
