Sony And Connectix Settle Out Of Court

Posted by Hemos on from the the-end-of-the-battle dept.

Halkun writes "Sony and Connectix settle out of court. The story is at www.psxemu.com's home page" We've had a whole slew of stories about this. Once the terms are released, this whole have a big effect on the whole emulation scene, I predict.

    Although the link is slashdotted to hell, I presume this has to do with the Playstation emulator (called the Virtual Play Station) that Connectix made for the Mac.

    Connectix, incidentally, is a company that I suspect is comprised of aliens with advanced technology OR possibly someone with a time machine. Among their breakthrough offerings (breakthough at the time, anyway) -- RamDoubler, Speeddoubler, Virtual PC, and VPS.

    ...but if true I suspect it may be that Sony no longer feels that the original Playstation is too big of an issue to keep fighting for.

    Besides, if they actually lost this case to Connectix, then it would probably set some kind of precedent, and they can't have that considering they have something much larger to worry about... future Playstation 2 Emulation.

    It may not be next week, or even this year, but history shows it will be. It's only a matter of when.
