ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention provide a debugging tool configured to serialize function calls made to a graphics API on a remote device such as a hand-held videogame system. Embodiments of the invention may be used to emulate the performance of the same graphics API calls made on the remote device to generate a given display frame. An instrumented driver may capture and serialize each graphics API call invoked by a graphics application running on the remote device. Thus, the host component of the graphical application debugger may generate and display the same image as displayed on the target device without the latency of waiting for a set of framebuffer data to be transmitted over the communication link for each frame rendered on the target device.
