Emulators Used In Commercial Games

[acn010]

umm.
ape escape?

I wonder if the emulators used were all original products/software written by the game manufacturers or if they maybe are modified version of readily available open source'd emulators. If that was true they'd get probably in trouble because many open source licenses don't permit commercial use, and others don't permit not including the source code in redistribution when modified.

This is all very interesting! If it leads to more knowledge or a future exploit, that'd be great.

One can't help but think that this is being done now due to homebrew emulation popularity on the PSP. Now the company's want to make it commercial.

Too late if you ask me!!

Sonic Megacollection

no doubt monkey man that was the first thing that came to my mind!!! another one i think that was not mentioned

soul calibur 3 comes with NAMCO museum

[SSaxdude]

I think the Sonic collection must be emulation, because it runs slow on the Gamecube.

I don't know if they count but the Power Base Converter and Super Gameboy.

Anyway to rip these emus from these pack and incorperate your own legaly owned roms ?.Like u could with the gamecube one.

Wow, rom piracy just hit a new low.

Lol, it would be funny if one of the psp games available at the moment actually has a sort-of ps1 emulator within it to run the game...
I don't think there are any psp games that are exactly like their ps1 version, so there's probably no point even thinking about that.

Still though, if the ps1 emu is actually finished and ready at Sony and they are just waiting to release it later... if that is the case, then maybe Sony will let other companies use it to stick an emulated ps1 game on a psp umd.

Time to stop dreaming now and get back to reality...
But still - game companies could make/save a lot of extra money if Sony let them do that, and then they just sell it as a standard psp umd game for 30 quid+

in "day of the tentacle" You could play the original "maniac mansion" on commodore 64, i think it was emulation and seems incredibly primitive when it is done (sound comes from "pc speaker")

In the PocketNES manual, they say something about Jaelco using pocketnes to emulate their old nes games.
