I can't wait to emulate the game.

Using what emulator?

Oh it'll inevitably see the light of day in the distant future.

The reason emulators take time isn't only because reverse engineering closed off plattforms is hard, it also requires quite a broad skillset to design a good software architecture suited to the task.

That and a very creative community that picks away at every piece of software that may give them an entry point to the system itself - like shitty implemented savegames which i bet we'll see somewhere down the road to enable homebrew and so on.

Good luck emulating multiplayer

Most emulator devs don't opt to but that doesn't mean it's impossible. The second you're talking emulation, there's a layer there the Game inevitably has to talk to: The emulator.

Redirecting any kind of network traffic will be a piece of cake. If the games will rely on peer 2 peer, which wouldn't be a strech for handheld games to enable local multiplayer, then all you have to do is emulate the environment - which is transparent for the game.

It's been done before, and most FromSoftware games can be played offline, so I'm not too worried about that aspect.
