Claim:
1. A method for generating a trigger for a trigger event in an emulated video game, comprising: a) delivering a set of one or more game inputs to an emulator computing device; b) receiving a set of data generated by the emulator computing device during emulation of a legacy game, wherein the legacy game is not originally configured to generate a haptic response, wherein the haptic response is feedback corresponding to the sense of touch, the data comprising at least a set of emulated data from a first state and a set of emulated data from a second state; c) identifying a change between the emulated data from the first state and the emulated data from the second state that corresponds to an occurrence of the trigger event, wherein the trigger event signals generation of a haptic response that is not generated by execution of the original code of the legacy game upon occurrence of the trigger event.
