If you emulate the game on different hardware (even if you purchased the game) you are essentially committing the software makers to paying for a privilege that isn't fulfilled.Does that make sense or am I nuts?Ĭlick to expand.Sony lost one of the more recent court battles over the PS1 emulator by Connectix. The reason software companies pay Sony anything is for the privilege of having the games playable on Sony hardware. Sony, and all the other game companies make a larger profit off of software, and software royalties then they do the games. Arguably, playing games on an emulator should be illegal. You know, that thing the games were designed to be played on. The controls will be crap, unless you find a way to hook up a PS2 controller to your Mac.And for the headache that the performance will give you, finding the games (illegally) on other than original disks, and overall amount of time you will waste.I would just get a used PS2 for less than $100. However, a PS2 emulator? How can you justify such a thing? It will run like crap for the foreseeable future, even if you do have a Quad G5. They are old systems, not readily availible, and they run fine through emulation. To an extent I can totally understand why someone would want an emulator for a classic game system, like the NES or Genesis and what not.
So a PS2 emulator might happen, but it might not because who would use something that 'works' but is so slow you cant play it? Google for a Dreamcast emulator and it proves not everything will be emulatable. Look at the Cell processor in the PS3, how the hell is anyone gonn emulate that efficiently?

IMO anything past the N64 is always gonna be spotty in terms of emulation, sooooo many lines of code have to be written for newer consoles.
But get up to PS1 and N64 and some hefty new MAME roms, and you are talking some serious memory and computing power just to keep the framerate tolerable. The SNES emulators, NES, etc all run pretty damn well everytime. AFAIK emulation is like a logarythmic function in terms of as the hardware to be emulated gets more and more complex, the software to emulate it becomes 10 fold more complex. Cmon give the guy a break, we are all here to be edumacated.Īs for emulation. Click to expand.why are some people on MR such goody goodies, every turn someone might whisper the word 'pirate' or 'download' or 'p2p' and BAM someone has to say THATS ILLEGAL BOOOOO. A CD can be just about any colour on the bottom and still be read just fine by any CD drive. As for the guy who said that you can't read PS2 CDs because they're blue on the bottom, that's just not true. And yes, I actually used my own Playstation game discs, which worked fine, even though they were black on the bottom. I used it on my PC a few years back, and was amazed at how much better the games looked. Sony later bought the company though and shut them down. Sony hated it and tried to shut them down, but since the Bleem programers had written all of there own software and hadn't used any of the code built into the Playstation, they were ok.
I remember when Bleem came out, which was one the of the original Playstation emulators. It may work on older.Įmulaters are legal for the most part, just companies don't like them. I can only confirm that it does work on 10.8+.
