− | The '''Revolution Emulator''' is a program that, assuming it works the same as the [[Dolphin Emulator]], allows Wii source code to run on a PC (or possibly Mac) platform. It is not technically an emulator in the sense that you cannot run compiled applications on it, though you can run applications from source code using it.

− | According to SDK definition files, the emulator emulated the GameCube's ARAM, possibly indicating that the Wii had ARAM at one point.
| + | The '''Revolution Emulator''', also known as '''RVL_EMU''', is a special Wii development environment used in late 2005 & early 2006. It consists of a GameCube development kit connected to a PC running the [[BroadOn]] [[IOP-OS]] Emulator, allowing for the testing of IOS functionality such as [[ES|e-ticket services]]. |

− | We do not actually have a copy of the emulator, but we can guess that it is likely quite similar to the [[Dolphin Emulator]], allowing us to infer the above information; we know that the emulator exists because it is mentioned in a few places in the SDK:
| + | RVL_EMU uses the "WK" and "WKMC" ([[Waikiki]] and Waikiki Multi Connect) libraries to communicate with a host PC for DVD emulation over the Waikiki. |

− | * OSGetConsoleType defines, listed as a GameCube debug platform (indicating its early status)
| + | The BroadOn IOP-OS emulator is a Linux (Fedora Core 3) program which emulates some of IOS' functionality. It was used to test IOS code before the [[Hollywood]] was available, along with the [[Versa]] board. |

− | * A text file mentioning versions of the various components of the emulator, including [[Starlet]] emulation

− | * Mentions of it as a platform in makefiles

− | We have very limited information on this emulator, as it can be presumed to be from the era before [[Revolution SDK]] 1.0, most likely being used in 2004/5. See [[Full Wii History]].
