Thanks Sony You do get some things right

Then can you explain me perfectly why there's a Saturn emulator on Dreamcast running commercial games and there isn't one for Xbox?

Saturn emualtion isnt great on a PC so I doubt it is even playable on a Dreamcast? I could be wrong tho.

Its cool that there is an saturn emu being worked on sill though for the dreamcastt.

Saturn emulation on PC is awesome if you have at least a SSE2 computer. Most of the games are playable with normal speed. Just try SSF, the best emulator.
Yabause DC is the only Saturn emulator for Dreamcast, you can run various commercial games but with slow speed. Last version was in december '06

...because nobody has bothered to write one, perhaps? :P

I'm confused by the statement that emulation is illegal on the XBox - I had no idea that legislation was so product-specific. How on Earth do they enforce that?

Oh, it doesn't have to do with the xbox, there are a few illegal emulators on other systems. The reason there are illegal emulators on the xbox is that people stole microsoft's official development kit for it and are using it without license, which is what makes it illegal, not the fact that it's homebrew or the fact that they are emulators.

Because the Sega Saturn and the Sega Dreamcast have similar hardware, so emulation probably isn't extremely difficult, whereas the XBOX is a totally different architecture and probably couldn't handle emulating the Saturn at full speed. The Saturn is a very complex machine.

Oh, and also because no one has made one. But, one incomplete emulator the Dreamcast has that the XBOX doesn't does not make it a better homebrew system.

JKKDARK, you are just being a fanboy now. I admit that I love the XBOX, but I also love my PSP, my PS2, my XBOX 360, and my Nintendo Wii too, but I also know that none of those systems can do what the XBOX can in terms of homebrew. The only reason I am defending the XBOX is because, all legality aside, IT IS THE SUPERIOR HOMEBREW CONSOLE.

Wow, you've swayed me, where can I get some of this excellent homebrew? Oh wait, that's right, you can't post about it here because if you did, it would be deleted and you would get an infraction.

nice price although a couple of things you have to consider.
although the games are multi region, Blue Ray discs/player arn't on the ps3 so you will still have to import them.
also you will only be able to play on servers (and from what i gather connect to the net) in the country the ps3 is from, so major lag.

having said that great price for people JUST wanting to be playing ps3 games.

[mungrin]

And that's stopped who in the past? Who says you won't need the PS3 SDK to run homebrew in the future?

I'm sorry Wraggster, I usually like your point of views but this post is all wrong. Blu-ray will die soon. Its useless. And I doubt the homebrew scene will ever really develop on the PS3. The thing is since you can install linux on it without modding most people will do that. Once you do that you have barely any access to system resources and stuff in regards to graphics, etc. so developers probably won't bother. I could be discustingly wrong but in the mean time I'll stick with my original Xbox and my PSP. Also, just because $ony did some things right in the PS3 (no region coding) doesn't make them any less of douchebags for still locking the PSP stuff.

The End.

i have to compeletly agree.You hit it on the head wit hthat post.I dont see anyything so great that Sony has done.Just about any game for PS3 so far,i can can a better version of it for XBOX 360.Blueray is as good as a UMD movie in my opinion,useless.Remember,movies are not filmed in HD so Blueray movies are not that much better looking than DVDs.I will stick with my upconverter DVD player,Xbox and PSP for homebrew thank you.
PS3 kinda reminds me of 3DO.

[wiredforpower]

I love the concept of the PS3, but I dont think its quite ready for everyone to own like the PS2 is.

Personally my next console purchase will still be a 360.

You'll stick with your X-Box and PSP? So that means that you buy systems only thinking in homebrew? If you want to see the true power or true potential of any console..the homebrew is not the right way. I'm sorry to say that you're a F-R-O-O-B.
And I agree with this. The PSP and the PS3 are the most powerful systems on the market. The PSP is the most powerful hand-held and the PS3 the most powerful home console. And what's the problem? Developers aren't concentrating on the system they're working with,they're not reaching the limits. The PS3 can do a lot more than what we're seeing to date. Just let's give some time and let the developers and games role. We'll see what system is the real deal. And think about this..If the X-box 360 has more sales than the PS3 is because it came to the market months before than the PS3. And why is the Wii selling more than both? Because it's the cheaper one,and the majority of the gamers are kids. So the parents are buying Wii's to their kiddies. And the same goes to the DS,parents buying DS's to their pussies..I mean their kiddies.

I was arguing homebrew because the topic was raised. I choose my Xbox 360 over a PS3 because it has games that don't suck and an amazing online system. $ony's online is laughable at best and can quite adequately be described as balls. The PS3 will only ever have one exclusive title (see sig) and that is debatable at this point. And Blu-ray is more expensive than HD DVD and sucks harder (all optical media sucks). I am not a fanboy, I am a freeloader. Whoever has the best hardware is the company I will back. I wish the PS3 didn't suck, I'd have a reason to open the one that's been sitting in my closet since launch day that I bought to sell. Heh. The End.

P.S. Anybody wanna buy a PS3?

EDIT: I just re-read your post and...wow. The DS has some awesome games and an awesome homebrew scene you close minded "froob". And the Wii is selling more because its cheap and FUN. What's that? Well it's what games were designed to be, enjoy feeling cool and elite on your PS3. The majority of gamers are over 18 which is technically an adult. The rest of your post isn't even worth my time. Quit being a pathetic fan boy, kthxbye

So finally...I was waiting fot this,I was waiting for someone to call me "Sony Fanboy". You know what a fan is,right? And do you know who I am? I'm someone who likes good things. I'm a fan of good things. And Sony,PSP,PS3 are some of them.
