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

**geise69** · October 16th, 2006, 14:50

There is no point in the author of this emulator to release anything at the moment. Why release something that he obviously doesn't feel is ready yet? The only thing that will happen if he releases it now is get bombarded with people complaining about game X not working, please get this game working blah blah blah blah. Wow...you think it would change in the emulation scene after 12 some years. Patience is a virtue people.

I'm glad to hear about the progress of this emulator I hope the A.C is succesful with creating the dynamic recompiler then maybe when he/she does that and makes a nice gui he/she will release it.

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"?

the dreaded words coming soon, looks mr hobo has this coming along quite well now once he gets the dynarec most games will be fullspeed

i hope he makes good progress, i think he should utilise the media engine for sound since most people are 1.5ers now

Im not actually sure if this is sounding better and better. Before we were told that lots of games are running full speed, now we have been told that games are crashing and some are very slow.

But still, I dont and wont complain.. This emu is still gonna be totally f***kin sweet Great work A.C Hobo

***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.

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?

It's not a matter of Sony actually having a case against AC. It's a matter of of SONY getting a court ordered cease and desist to stop any new releases or distribution of a PSX emu for PSP. If this were to happen SONY would keep delaying court ,all the while the cease and desist in effect, while their PSX emu is released onto the public. The reasoning for this would be to demoralize the defendent hoping all of their will to program the EMU cease but killing time. This crap actually happens. If a homebrew PSX emu is released running at a good speed from the get go, no one will mind as much if a cease and desist is issued because it will still be out in the wilds of the internet.

I am just sick of hearing all these children complain about not having a free PSX emu released because they want it now.

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.

I thought it was cuz they charged $$ for the emulator...

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.
