How would you expect them to respond? Put a front page ad in the NY Times: "W3 got hoX0r-d by teh geohotz, download ur warez for fr33."

Conflict NZ said:What are the odds of PS2 emulation ever running smoothly? I've been wanting to put my ps2 into storage for a while now but can't because I have a slim.
Zoe said:Obviously not if people are still asking if it's safe to go onto PSN.
In PSP they just disabled PSN for non-official firmwares. As I remember they never banned a user for using custom firmwares or homebrew.cyberheater said:If you go on PSN whilst using a CFW then there is a risk that you will leave a fingerprint that would allow Sony to ban you. It all depends how aggressive Sony wants to be to combat this.
Per DEAN...
"Now as a simple POC (proof of concept) that a game can run without ANY SYSCALLS involved (from internal HDD) I created a small application. Here are the steps:
1) Get a game and write down the game ID (lets say XXXX12345)
2) Copy the game contents to /dev_hdd0/game/XXXX12345 (no PS3_GAME folder involved)
3) Rename /dev_hdd0/game/XXXX12345/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN to MM_EBOOT.BIN
4) Install the magic MYGAME.pkg (the one I created)
5) Run your game backup from the XMB without a blu-ray game disc inserted and without /app_home or any other mappings (no syscalls used by the small app)
6) Game starts and plays as if it was ran from BD-ROM disc
7) Should you decide to update the game to a later version 2 more steps are requred but you get the general idea.
The good thing is that game saves, tropheys and updates work, since the game is spawned with the original GAME ID.
Btw the magic app is just 4 lines of code. Ill now test a game (Uncharted 2) to check if all is okay when there are special circumstances."

If they can port NullDC to the PS3, why not a PS2 emu? Hardware recs for the emus that different? (Original consoles weren't that different.)

Yep...although it would be interesting to see someone try to tackle it and perhaps have the SPEs emulate the individual CPUs of the Saturn.Fatghost said:Saturn is a mess internally and that makes it much harder to emulate.

Isn't that kind of an urban myth? Not that it isn't a mess internally.... But SSF exists! It's nearly perfect emulation for most games I've seen on it.Fatghost said:Saturn is a mess internally and that makes it much harder to emulate.
Marrshu said:Better user interface, basically. Everything I tried worked with the first one, but this one has configuration settings and such. The first one wouldn't even let you exit out of the game to load another one :lol

KAL2006 said:so whats been happening with this in the past 3 days. I haven't kept up with the news. can we finally play homebrew on any PS3
itxaka said:If no syscalls are involved (ourside of Sony's) then he is bypassing npdrm and making the ps3 believe that is launching a psn game?
Marrshu said:Well yeah, that works. But it was a hassle. Plus, this newer version actually runs at 1080p/720p and not merely 480p.

What resolution? Genuinely curious...After playing with GiriGiri, I can't stand SSF as it didn't redraw the graphics at higher resolutions. But it's been a while since I've tried...Genesis Knight said:Yeah, yeah "Saturn has so many CPUs and GPUs what a mess off the shelf parts omg".
SSF runs great on my shitty old Acer laptop from 2003.

thuway said:This might sound crazy to some but I've wanted this for a long time:
1) A direct rom launcher on my XMB, without having to go into the emulator and play the rom. For example, Final Fantasy VI is on my XMB just like Stardust HD. Is this possible?
2) An All-in-one emulator. Final Burn Alpha, SNES, etc. - all put into one giant program .

Genesis Knight said:Post vids, I'm curious.
Now's as good a time as any to ask. I don't have a PS3, but now I'm wanting to get onboard as it looks like it may become emu heaven. Should I just go grab a Slim off the shelf or would I be better served grabbing one of the older BC ones and upgrading the HDD?
I'd go for a silm, since we hopefully can expect PS2 emulator in the future.Genesis Knight said:Post vids, I'm curious.
