misery said:As far as emulation for next gen emus, PS2 will likely not be as hard as some of the other new systems. We'll probably see something in the next year and a half that'll play the tittle screen for a game or two and a whole bunch of useless "demos". The development kits for that system are rather complicated, so it wont be as simple as the original PS when Bleem! was made - way back when. Basically, if you can run information from a PS2 disk or an X-Box disk on a computer (which you can, piracy already exists) you'll be able to emulate it eventually. Sometimes there are some mysteries that never get solved (like how long it took to figure out the SegaCD, and as far as I know that's still a mystery - but that's a whole OTHER rant).
What I'm figuring will be the most difficult to emulate will be the Gamecube... since the disks are multilayered (like how a DVD is dual-layered... only more) and are therefore impossible to read on our current computers. X-Box will be fairly easy, as aforementioned, since the games are developed among the same methods as PC games.
What it all boils down to is interest. If people want these emus badly enough someone will figure it out.
AMDRULES said:Hello. Going back to the Xbox, PS2 emu subject, what kind of hardware would it take to run an emulator for them? I mean, I have a dual Athlon 1700+ system with 512MB Crucial DDR memory, and Goldeneye still bogs it down. You would probably need a 4ghz or more CPU to run an Xbox emulator. Why does it take so much PC horse power to run an emulator? I am ignorant about the inner workings of them, so someone enlighten me.
