-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.
-You can read about the specifics of simulating a gamepad [https://tasvideos.org/ConsoleVerificationGuide#ConsoleSpecificsAndProtocols over on TASVideos].
