| Put simply, replay devices are interfaces between a PC and a console, similar to how you might use a GPU to interface with a monitor or a [[wikipedia:Network_interface_controller|NIC]] to interface with a LAN, and it's by playing back a movie over one of these console interfaces that the movie can be [[Console Verification|console-verified]]. (Specifically, if it finishes ''without desyncing'' then it's considered verified.) The replay device simulates a gamepad (or several) for the console to "see", and typically appears as a serial device on the PC. Newer designs have included an SD card to allow running without a PC.
