Adequate explanation of Silhouette requires a step back to the original days of Super Famicom development. Originally developed under the code-name 'Mirage' and designed to serve as a Super Famicom development environment, Silhouette has been modified into a working Super Nintendo emulation environment which rivals the best efforts of any public development. In my opinion, the history of Silhouette is nothing short of fascinating, so please read this document at least once before you throw it in the trash. Silhouette is the product of internal Nintendo research over several years.
