PS1P Private Beta 3 News - New PSOne Emu for PSP Coming Soon

[hockey2112]

I think you missed the points of everything you quoted there hockey.

How so? They expressed their belief that Sony will not have legal grounds, and I expressed the fact that they do not necessarily need legal grounds to throw a monkey wrench into things. Please explain...


EDIT
Oh, and whatever happened in the adventures of Vega and Sagat? I think the last thing we saw was that Sagat found Vega's kid. Are there going to be any future "episodes"?

thing is, sony is losing money, fast.

[hahahaha]

Many thanks for the update Wragg

This is starting to sound better and better with every news update. I hope AC realises that most of us can wait and aren`t into baggering him for a quick release.

Also, why is he nicknamed "hobo"?

He is nicknamed "hobo" only on the forums here. to my knowledge, A.C. hasn't accepted the name hobo officially. it was just someone goofing around and calling him a hobo as a joke and then it kind of stuck so now many people call him/her a.c. hobo since he/she is anonymous. i think it was jpdeathblade that first called a.c. hobo, but don't quote me on that cus i dont remember for sure. :-)

few questions though

is there sound?

and when is sony planning on bringing out there emulator?

He is nicknamed "hobo"

[Jpdeathblade]

Lol Hobo stuck =P

The real reason was someone said that they knew who the coder was. And I replyed with the quote in my sig. I then added AC to it and its kinda stuck. I really wish that I had that name =(

I cant wait till this is released. I want it so bad =(

***EDIT***
I posted this before reading quzar's post about not talking about it anymore. I still feel that the points that I made are valid, but I apologize for posting this after that mandate was (unbeknownst to me) put forth.
/***EDIT***





COME ON, people! Sony DOES have legal options... they can bring a suit, whether it is right or wrong, and that suit may go to trial. They might lose the trial, but AC is not going to want to even GO to trial at all. End result: development on the emu ends in order for AC to avoid going to trial against Sony, and we are screwed.





Wrong, Sony can do whatever they want to do. Here's how it will go down:

AC: "Hi, I'm AC. You all may know me as (whoever he/she really is). Here is an early beta that all of you impatient people can test with your own games. It runs slow as hell, but you wanted proof and here it is. Hope you enjoy it!"

Sony: "Hi, AC. We are Sony. We don't like what you are doing. Here is a Cease and Desist order, stating that if you do not stop development on this emu, we will sue yous @$$ into the ground. We have a legal team on retainer, and money is not a huge issue for us. I suggest you follow our demands, unless you happen to be one of those multi-millionairre homebrew coders that we hear about so often."



Here's the part where you can choose your own adventure, kids. You are AC! Do you:

A. Tell Sony to go screw themselves and call your lawyer. Hopefully the trial won't last too long!

or do you...

B. Cease development on the emu, curl into a ball, and count your lucky stars that you kept your @$$ out of the flame?


Well? What do you choose?





Brainpan, you are balls-on accurate with your post. I wish I had read it before starting up this reply. Ah well, I feel that it is still relevant, and it might help some of our members to fully grasp the situation.





1. They didn't feel like it.
2. They didn't see it as a valid threat to their business.

Sony's PSX emu is a completely new way for them to make money off of their old properties. Do you think they would allow a homebrew emu, made for the very system for which they are designing their emu, to put this potential profit at risk? Also, don't forget about the official Sony PSX emu being their ace in the pocket for getting more homebrewers to upgrade to their next major firmware revision.





Please re-read brainpan's post and my "conversation between Sony and AC" above. These will both answer your questions.

Sony will not be able to bring it to court, at least here in the US. There is NO LAW against an emulator, except selling copyrighted material (Bleem and VGS)... Those were shutdown because the coders were making cash off of the emulator...

Wonder why PCSX2 isn't shutdown, even though it prolly runs better than PS1P? It's because Refraction, Shadow, and all the other coders aren't charging for the emulator nor are they distributing the BIOS... And last time I checked, the PS2 isn't exactly a dead system....


Fine me any law saying "Emulators are illegal in the United States." and you win... But til then, your arguement is crap
