Conversion of haptic events into screen events

A nontransitory computer readable medium containing program instructions for inserting a screen event stimulus into a set of emulated data, and wherein execution of the program instructions by one or more processors of a computer system causes the one or more processors to carry out the steps of:

• a) receiving an emulation request for a game from a client device platform;
• b) generating a set of emulated data while emulating the game;
• c) inserting a screen event stimulus into the set of emulated data for each instance of a haptic stimulus within the set of emulated data;
• and
• d) delivering the set of emulated data containing the screen event stimulus to the client device platform.

An emulator configured to operate on a network, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory coupled to the processor;
• one or more instructions embodied in memory for execution by the processor, the instructions being configured to implement a method inserting a screen event stimulus into a set of emulated data, the method comprising:
• a) receiving an emulation request for a game from a client device platform;
• b) generating a set of emulated data while emulating the game;
• c) inserting a screen event stimulus into the set of emulated data for each instance of a haptic stimulus within the set of emulated data;
• and
• d) delivering the set of emulated data containing the screen event stimulus to the client device platform.

In a client device platform configured to operate on a network, a method for adding a screen event to an emulated game, comprising:

• a) sending an emulation request for a game to an emulator;
• b) receiving the emulated game and a screen event stimulus from the emulator, wherein the screen event stimulus is generated by the emulator;
• and
• c) using the screen event stimulus to generate a screen event on the client device platform.
