There is a homebrew Playstation emulator in the works, and Sony is also trying to make one to rip people off.

Ok, so let me get this straight, an ILLEGAL homebrew PS1 emulator isn't a rip off, but a Sony produced official one is?

No wonder why Sony wants to shut down every site that talks about homebrew. You dopes act like Sony is the Devil, even though you plunked down $200 willingly to buy their system.

Talk about stupid.

A homebrew emulator isnt illegal and the reason why sony's a rip off is because they expect you to pay for games that you allready own.

Dude, a homebrew PS1 emulator wouldn't be ILLEGAL!
And we aren't stupid- you are.
Crap, kamer got there before me.

**Accordion** · August 21st, 2006, 18:21

actually any commercial software is a rip off in SSaxdude's opinion…ayay

i will see ho the homebrew one comes along, and get a new psp if my uni budget allows…(yeah right)

If a homebrew PS1 emu uses any proprietary Sony Code, or a Sony Bios in emulating a PS1, then yes, it is illegal.

Last I checked, Sony hadn't annouced any sort of pricing scheme, or whether they would release a program to convert your existing PS1 games to their emulator's format.

Don't get me wrong, more power to the Homebrew coders, I'd love to see someone pull off a working PS1 emulator that's playable. I just hate it when I read retarded crap that just begs Sony to come after sites and coders with Cease and Desist orders.
