Someone on another forum was talking about running an emulator in an emulator in an emulator, and how far you could go like this, such as say an Apple Mac running DOSBox, and in that DOSBox running a ZX Spectrum emulator, and in that Spectrum emulator running the Video-pac emulator. And it made me wonder if there is any emulator that can emulate itself?
I mean, could DOSBox be made to emulate DOSBox? So that you have DOSBox emulating DOSBox, and *that* second version of DOSBox is actually emulating a PC game, say? And if that's possible, the DOBox emulating DOSBox emulating DOSBox emulating DOSBox, etc. Eventually you'd have to measure the frame-rate in weeks, but in theory I think it's interesting.
By the way, I didn't post this in the PC emulation forum in case anyone replies that a non-PC emulator can emulate itself.
