Would the Release of a Full Speed (or near full speed) Get a Bad Reaction From Sony

The upcoming release of the PSone emulator by Sony is their attempt to stop a lot of homebrewers and make a bag of cash in the process.

Now if a coder on this scene were to release a Full Speed or near full speed PSOne emulator for PSP would this be the catalyst for Sony to punish the coder/release site and the homebrew scene as a whole ?

Lets be realistic, its very likely a full speed PSOne emulator can be done by porting one of the great PSone emulators to the PSP, but Sony have been known to get pissy in the past with PSone emulators for Windows, Mac and Dreamcast.

If such a release were to happen what do you think would be Sonys Reaction ?

I think its rather obvious that sony would press charges and definately go to court with the creator. But if it is already on the net along with the source, there isnt much sony can do to stop it. It would be spread and the source would be updated

I don't know...
coders would emulate the new firmware with the PSOne emulator in FW1.5 anyway...

sony would probly stop making new firmwares

Yeah.They'd take the creator to court but once the homebrews out there,$ony cant stop it spreadin.Why wont they give us homebrew on all firmwares!?!

i say send the program out to the web and the creator doesnt give out any info that would lead to sony finding him and nobody gets hurt

The author could post it anonymous, which even would be more funny :)
to all of us

Sony can't press charges to people who make emulators as its not illegal. Distributing the PSX bios or roms is another issue and they have every right to press charges.

Legally could SONY do anything because I believe that emulation is a free and legal so even if SONY did take the creator of the emulator to court could they really do anything about it?

This would be funny but I bet if Sony really wanted to do so they could find out who it is and where they live. However I don't think Sony could do anything to the coder in charge. The homebrew emulation of the new firmware or a seperate PS1 emulator is inevitable in my eyes. It's just a matter of when this happens and how fast it is. If an emulator is made far after 3.0 comes out then I don't think it will be as much of a problem. But, if and emulator comes out just before Sony's release then Sony will be angry.

If the 2.5/2.6 downgrader hadn't been released, Sony might not strike so hard. But now that so many more have the power of full homebrew on their PSP, Sony is sure to attack.

I dont think Sony could really do anything about a full speed PSone emu. The reason Sony purchased BLEEM was because they weren't winning the case against them anyway. I see Sony's PSone emu as another attempt to lure people away from the homebrew scene and, to be quite honest, it's a a damn good argument.

I don't think Sony could easily go after someone just making an Emulator.

I mean Nintendo's upcoming Wii will boast emulators and you don't see Nintendo trying to bring litigation to the creators of Neter J, DGEN, Snes9xTYL, RIN, or zx-81 for his VBAPSP EMu.

I don't think there is anything to worry about. If Sony is unwilling or unable to take down the vast amount of PSP/PS2 ISO supporting sites, I don't think a homebrew PSOne EMU will be in harms way.

I am very much anticipating Sony's PSOne EMU but I am a die-hard 1.50 user. I'm hoping that the firmware that runs the PSone EMU can be emulated. It is now possible to emualte 2.60 firmware and I would suspect 2.70/2.71 to be able to be emulated soon so the future looks bright for 1.50 users who want the best of both worlds.

They would definitely press charges. They would do so, whining like babies in the process.

Sony is pure evil. They give us the freedom to play whatever we want on the psp, then they fight to the death to try and take that away. But maby money is more evil because it makes sony do this.

Just think how nice it would be if the PSP was made to give US the most intertainment as possible instead of making Sony the most money as possible.

Dosent matter what they do if you do it right. This site is just a news site, now if you give news about something but dont provide the links to it sony cant do much now can they?

Answer to this: Torrents

whats a Torrent?

whats a Torrent are you for real

have you ever used azures

that is a torrent program : )

sorry, I have never done anything with torrents, so I don't really know anything about them.

Lol yall been missing out if you havent used torrents. Find out online. (google)

Oh yeah torrents rule!!! But to be honest i do prefer to download my homebrew from DCEMU because that way you know what you are getting. Torrents can be dodgy!!!

As for the PS emu i reckon, in light of the 2.6 downgrader and the latest Firmware emulation with Devhook, that Sony would come down like a ton of bricks on anyone they can. They want to control and get paid for how we use our PSPs. They don't want us doing stuff for free:mad:

Wow, you might as well give him a link to a damn torrent site, why don't cha'? Torrents are good for people who don't like to pay for what they want (ie. warze whores). Torrents would slove nothing for PSX emu, probaly just make it worse. Sure, use torrents and get and Email from your ISP telling you that they are going to shut off your internet along with an Email telling you how much you are getting sued for.

Seriously, why are you encouraging warze?

A PSone emu is a good thing.

Let Sony play ball, if they can.

They have lost the "war" with -UP- now for sale.
And Ookm's Dual firmware chip in the works

With a 1.5 to 1.0 downgrader its only a matter of time before a 1.0 custom super firmware is released.

1.0 gives users the ability to flash custom firmware
Potentially making mod chips unnecessary.

Eh who do you work for? Torrents is one of the most efficent ways of distributing large files over the internet
and yes there is plenty of illegal torrents out there but plenty of legal torrents too. Try www.rebirthmuseum.com for starters where you will find a torrent for one of the best apps ever to appear on pc bar none. Have some fun with that and then you can go back to your wild accusations. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Also it is perfectly legal to download torrents of homebrew:D

Lumir was not referring to legal homebrew and if he was he could of said DCemu becuase they have all the legal homebrew that is out.

I think its rather obvious that No full speed is possible but maybe playable only

i think the news misses a little something in the title.. ;)

Hopefully we'll be able to emulate the 3.0 update with Dev Hook then find a way to get the Playstation games for free. I laugh at Sony.

well, I wasn't really asking if torrents are legal or if they rule or not, I just wanted to know how to use them and what the difference is between them and ordinary downloads :(

I have no clue about what they are, so I don't really know what kind or question to ask about them

Is PSone emulation coming out with ver. 3.0 firmware? I think someone will release a full to near full speed emulator.

A torrent is usually a larger file that can be transfered threw a program in which it can be paused, resumed and maintained over an extended period of time where the file can be downloaded from many different persons to speed up the process. i think that about covers torrents, anyone else have more info they would like to add go for it, and if im totally wrong(which could happen as im very tired from a long day, and now how to dl them but not much else).

all i can say is RIP pspsone :(
i really had high hopes about tht emulator and we didnt even get an i quit post of pacmanfan he just stoped posting enywhere

i dont know much about em, i dont really think i have any real use for them. but i think you find the adress for the file on a website and you type that into the torrent program you use and presto! you download that file.

but this site/forum isnt about torrents so im done

Lol your hallarious, I wasnt reffering to legal or illegal homebrew, I simply mentioned torrents as a alternitive way to release a ps1 emu for the psp, that way the emu would be harder to gain and less known for awhile. And i find it hallarious that you think a isp would call you, let you know how much your getting sued, and shut off your service.

One word... Privacy. And in fact you could sue whomever vialolated your rights. Read the fine print when you sing up for internet service....

I also am hoping for 3.0 firmware emulation someday. Or whatever firmware version will have the PSOne EMu. Although with each firmware release, it is increasingly difficult to emulate.

I must say though, if Sony can pull of a FULL SPEED PSOne EMU supporting hundreds or even thousands of games, they deserve to profit from that endeavor.

I mean think about it, if saving works, good sound support, and if there is screen scaling to fit the PSP's aspect ration, it would be more than worth it to shell out some dough to Sony.

Obviously we won't pay $29.99 - $49.99 per game, but I'd be more than willing to pay $4.99 - $14.99 depending on the game.

I'm rooting for Sony on this one and want them to pull it off.

that, and the fact that most current torrent clients let you encrypt the data you're downloading/uploading so your ISP can't tell what you uploaded/downloaded.

if someone comes out with a fullspeed PS1 emu that it entirely reverse-engineered, sony can't do anything. that person created it completely. Now, if the coder uses code from the sony-owned emu, they're a lot more likely to be sued.

someone do it. i would if i was a good coder but im not. honestly i think that we need a full speed emulator. lets test sony's limits. no matter what sony does there are a many coders to eventually put them back in there place. hell if any charges were pressed against any site or against any coder that in itself would give me reason to become a much better coder. i think i deserve the right to play backups of my games on a system thats not old and decrepid like the PSone (mine is broken). GO CODERS!

Thank you, Shibby.
