random guy Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 I have found out about two things that have happened during 1emulation's absense that are important forthe emulation scene: one good one bad. I'll start with the bad-news first. Nintendo has won a landmark court battle which effectively makes any handheld Nintendo emulator (gb, gbc, gba) illegal. they have done this by patenting handheld emulation, or something. There's a small story here. On the good news front, PCSX2 v0.6 has been released! Apparently a handfull of games now reach ingame.

Mr.X Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 www.emuboards.com/invision/index.php?showtopic=10975 Nintendo moves to end all Gameboy emulation softs...
AntiWinner22 Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Hey, this might hinder the emulation scene for a bit, but not really. If there are developers out there, they, instead of realising software through Websites and such, could release it through P2P. Then, no one would be in the know who exactly created the Emulator, thus no one is hurt. Anon.
PLasticSlug Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 The PCSX2! What exactly is this... and what games will be avalable?
Agozer Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 The PCSX2! What exactly is this... and what games will be avalable?A Playstation2 emulator.
Gryph Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 The PCSX2! What exactly is this... and what games will be avalable?It is a Playstation 2 emulator. Very early in its development, but its nice to see that there is some progress.
ForceX Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 It will be awesome to play PS2 games on the PC....Hopefully my rig will be able to run the games at a good speed

Lightsier Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 I find it funny that PS2, GameCube, and Xbox (Xeon plays one game) has been emulated on the PC, but there's still nothing on the Dreamcast.
