The discussion of emulation is absolutely killing me. "Software emulation" emulates hardware in code. This is what you get in MAME, Virtual Console, RetroN 5, etc. "Hardware emulation" is a chip that is functionally equivalent to the original CPU. You can run cartridges with an emulated CPU or download ROMs and run them on an equivalent chip. Nobody on the podcast seems to understand what they're saying.

Yes lunar would be the way you would say it. At least in the south this is the way we say the word. Especially when talking about the moon.
