Sony Loves Emulators

It seems to me that no emulator can truly cut much into the profits of a console gaming company, because the hardware doing the emulating (the computer) has to be so much more advanced than the console itself that most of said console's sales will be said and done before the emulator even comes out. The PSX had been out for three years or so before anyone managed to emulate it; how much of the PSX's sales could reasonably be expected to happen after it's been on the shelves three years? I would bet that the only reason anyone buys a psx anymore is because their old one is broken...

And it's not like this trend is going to stop...can even a brand spankin new TBird 1000 oclocked to 1100 with all the fixins emulate a ps2? Probably not. The console market is geared towards the sale of games anyway; they sell you the console for as cheap as possible so that every Christmas and birthday you get a $50 game. Connectix and Bleem will only help Sony sell more old psx games to people that haven't bought a ps2.

Hell, man, Sony should develop their OWN psx emulator. They know all the trade secrets that the others have to reverse engineer, so they could make a FLAWLESS psx emulator. They make it as hard to pirate as bleem is (if you've never tried to pirate bleem, um, don't), they sell em for $40 a pop, and bam, they got MONEY.

everything about that kinda stuff: http://www.gamefreax.de/indexe.html
got info about bleemcast, too.

I still haven't got an answer to my question:
Where can I get VGS1.4? I don't want VGS1.3.
VGS = Virtual Gaming System.

If you want, you can send that to my email at yes4me@hotmail.com

This move by Sony makes sense.

Unless someone already mentioned here, they're not giving a shit about the PSX emulators 'cause the PS2 is almost out here in the States.

/me wants PS2

not exactly a nintendo game, but did anybody ever play an arcade game called "cabal"? It had a track ball and basically you'd just move your target/cursor around and mow down hordes of bad guys...god that game swallowed up a lot of my money =)

Zelda was great. I spent hours and hours gambling with that old man in the cave playing the classic conman 3shell game. :)

Metroid rocked. The game world seemed so HUGE and spooky I felt a bit lonely exploring it. I loved those squishy noises that the bigbrain endboss made when you were wailing rockets at him...

Ikari Warriors, Contra, and Double Dragon, and other forgotten games, simply rox0rd! Now we have 3D FPS's everwhere and they're all pretty much the same. :)

Uhm.. I think this is more of a strat. by Sony to gain more popularity.

Whatever though, whatever Nintendo dishes out.. they have a lot to keep up with. Sony and Nintendo are like the Nvidia and the 3dfx and Nvidia of consoles. And Microsoft is like ATI. This is soo funny.

Nintendo = oldschool, puts out a sub-par product and does OK but not really. Name is known over anything.

Sony = New contender, flashy, hardcore product with better games and concept.

Microsoft = Has been around, known for buggy products puts out some quality stuff, but looks prospective.

And where is Matrox? Picking their ass or something just like Sega is.


How cracked out is that line of thought eh?

bwah dns check

I know it's been out fer quite awhile, but does not Grand Turismo 2 kick a huge amount of ass? I can't stop playing that damn game. I got hooked into it when I realized I could buy the same car in the game as the one I drive in real life =)

oh and one more thing, if this means just putting in useless data or even just non-esential data then the release groups will just rip it out so it'll fit on a 80 min CDR

4 day weekend!!!

"Sega of America is rumored to begin enforcing a policy that all games must be filled past 700 MB in order to combat privacy." of course even this won't work as soon as 99 min CDRs become more widely availiable, then there's nothing they can do to stop it.

Yay my first random quote :

Ghost in my Shell: Oh great the MPAA is now getting on the sue-napster bandwagon...heh ... @ Random Stuff

OT: I wonder how Sega is reacting to the new DC "scene" :-)

Maybe Sony helped Utopia out for payback for allowing Bleemcast to be made, eh? :-)

I still haven't got an answer to my question: Where can I get VGS1.4? If you want, you can send that to my email at yes4me@hotmail.com

WAIT A MINUTE, I don't think Sony likes emulators at all!

Anyone else think the writer of this article needs a spell-checker? He's even more worser than Steve!

another couple of reasons to get a snes emulator: Final Fantasy III and Chrono Trigger. 0wned.

its all about the first zelda, the first metroid, and the first contra

oh man that brings back memories

(has the emulator . . now to find the rom)

(playing metroid now will probably ruin the memories when how its aged)

ok here:

warning: 3 popups but once you close them thats it

Anyone know where can I get VGS1.4?

Another Napster Search of the Day:

Paul Weller: the changing man

(cant get onto napster at the moment, so i think thats the song im talking about)

Napster Search of the Day:

Metroid Techno Remix

metroid and super metroid were two of my favorite games ever.

the super nintendo emulator is the only emulator you'll ever need. M3+r0iD 0wnz j00!
