i was looking at video converters for psp (i have ffmpegx but was just curious).
i found this:
http://www.pspxstudio.com/?hop=menterpriz
for $40 or $70 you get a video converter... that also comes bundled with a bunch of emulators and roms!?!?!?!?
surely it is illegal to sell emulators like DGEN, NeoCD, etc with working roms! :confused:
