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

[Exophase]

I don't think Sony is going to go after a free emulator in court, they haven't yet. Neither has Nintendo (although they've threatened UltraHLE. That was years ago, though.. they've never bothered any of the GBA emulators)

This all sounds good, but I do want to say that it more or less confirms my suspicion that the original claim, that it had 90% compatability, was vastly premature and should have never been made. Wraggster's post indicates that it clearly did not have 90% compatability, or the compatability has dramatically lowered because what he reported was 50% compatability - granted, it's too low of a sample size to really mean that but it's very unlikely that it has even over 75% compatability when the games mentioned don't work. These are games by pretty common companies, so some number of games out there are bound to not work either.

If the compatability has decreased that much then that's a serious shame. I can understand it happening with a dynarec, but over other optimizations?

Raise your hand of your old enough to remember BLEEM!

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.

So why didn't they do anything with:
-ePSXe
-PCSX
-Most other PSX emulators for the PC
-PSXP
-PSPSONE

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

Its intresting that he said that the FF series works.

I would have thought that FFIX would have been the hardest game to get running, with all the extra patches and such you need with a plain PC emulator.

Pleeease some FF screens..I'm dying here!

Wraggster- Thanks for the updates. I would like to make a request though... Is there anyway we could get some videos of the betas running as you get updates? Watermark the vids with the DCemu logo smackdab in the middle even...If it wasn't too big, we could still get too witness speed increases, but I bet no one would be able to cut it out and make it look good to steal the vids for other sites. I bet traffic to psp-news would multiply ten fold. Plus, it would give us more to get excited about. What do you say? PLEEEAAAAAAASE? (lol)

Because these PSX emulators for PC are legal (you need the bios, it's in your PSX console).

Is there any audio?

Thats what i'm trying to show... Bleem and VGS got shutdown because they were commerical emulators.... Those weren't... Sony isn't going to try any BS with this... They have 0 legal ground, as long as AC doesn't include a BIOS or other copyrighted material

[Mr. Shizzy]

dagger89- I don't think legal issues have any thing to do with why he is not publicly releasing the betas.

[emuking]

he probaly doesnt release any betas yet because he is probaly not ready yet

[Mr. Shizzy]

Exactly. Next thing you know, every site on the web, would be hosting it, having ppl impersonate (cough-PS2nfo-cough) the A.C. , just to get traffic to their site, ect, ect...
