This may sound like a dumb idea but it's really not. PSX2 plays PSX games but it does not make the PSX graphics any better except they are not as shaky. If someone would make a PSX emulator for PSX2, they could improve the graphics a lot. The PSX2 mem cards hold 8 megs of space so when the modem comes out next year, people could download the emulator. Please respond if you think my idea is a good idea.

Well...
It s already hard to do a psx emulator for the pc...
But considering there s the hardware of the psx inside the ps2...
perhaps it would be an idea.

(BTW, psx is the playstation.and the ps2 is the psy

)

I disagree with your idea, but I'm responding anyway. I don't think this is very likely to happen, considering the PS2 emulation of PSX games is already decent enough for most people, and it's a difficult system to program for, anyway. Of course, now that I said that, some emulator for PSX games on PS2 will probably show up within a year...

The idea is good, but it is very hard to program the PS2, so I don't think that such a thing will exist before 2003 or so

the new release of ps2 has a 40gb of hd modem/eth... and Linux!!(as I read from slashdot)

also sony has some possible option on using the BeIA/BeOS on ps2 and not only with the eVilla...

so porting wouldn't is so painfull (ok, there are endianess issues, asm hask to be redone etc etc etc)

we'll see

I forgot about FPSE. Since Sony is doing Linux for the PS2 and there is already a Linux version of FPSE, I guess the only thing to do is change around some instructions to account for the PS2. Also, if Sony really is funding a new version of BeOS, it would be very likely they'd port it as well to the PS2. So actually the dumb idea really isn't so dumb. I take it back.

thanks Ryos

For a minute there Ryos, I didn't think you liked me very much, because you disagreed with me on something else in another post.

psychicmage: nah, just because I disagree with someone doesn't mean I automatically don't like him or her. Now if you see me disagreeing with each and every post you ever write, that's another story altogether.

Yeah, Ryos even disagrees with himself quite often.

Don't fret about it.

Note, at this point, Linux for the PS2 is only for the earlier japanese models, (SCPH-10000 and SCPH-18000)...possibly current ones, I don't know...
