Play PSX Games On Your Xbox

falzbro writes "Now Xbox owners (well, modded Xbox owners) can do what the Playstation people have been able to do for years; play PSX games on your console! PCSX has been ported to the Xbox. It's unfortunate that the homebrew Xbox development scene is stuck in a world of pseudo-legality, due to the lack of a usable Legal XDK. A compatibility list is currently being hammered out, and it's limited to only playing games stored on your Xbox HDD."

Emulation of emulation

[compwizrd]

So does this mean i can play NES games on the emulator for the PSX, under XBox?

Or does that rely on hardware tricks with the PSX hardware?

Thanks for the Warez update

PCSX is highly incompatible on a P4 2.53 with a Radeon 9500. I highly doubt any sort of extreme performance on the xbox.

Just get a PS2 - oh and mod it, because we all know this isnt about playing the games, but playing them for free.

From a technical view, emulation is really neat. Too bad the authors cant get credit for what they accomplish, as they're drowned out by some asshat who ports the source using a stolen dev kit for the sole purpose of pirating games.

Microsoft shouldn't block this...

Just talking strategy, what's one of the biggest reasons the PS2 is kicking them around in the marketplace? The huge back-library of PS1 titles that can be had for $10. Suddenly, with NO work on Microsoft's part whatsoever, all those PS1 games are playable on X-Box - removing one more reason for people to shell out for a PS2. Of course, they'll probably just sue everyone anyway.

Higher resolution like Bleem!cast?

Site is slashdotted, but I'm curious if this emulator will play PSX games at a higher resolution like Bleem! for Dreamcast.

Uh WHY?

why when you can play NES games on the NES emulator for xbox? theres an emulator for everything on xbox now except for N64 (which there is currently a contest running for however writes it first) and PS2.

Sony Missing the boat with CVGS

[adzoox]

I really think Sony missed a golden opportunity with Connectix Virtual Game Station. (I think Apple missed the boat too.) As Apple seems to be trying to get "Mac Onlyness" to the computer user, I think this would have been a perfect "switch reason". (A built in Playstation emulator) This program opened up a vast game title to the Mac and did so legally. The fact that it was Mac Only was the driving force behind my purchasing another Apple laptop instead of a desktop as my main machine.

Virtual Gamestation was flawless with the emulation it provided. It was in most ways superior to the Playstation before the PS2 came out. Before most games started being Playstation II only, I already had a transportable DVD Mp3 playing, Playstation game playing unit in my PowerBook G3 500, upgraded to 900Mhz now with 768megs of RAM and a 32x CDRW/DVD combo drive.

I was really hoping at the time Connectix faced legal concerns with Sony, that Apple would step in and co liscense it and just add the emulation to the Mac OS. After reading the article about Virtual PC , many wished Apple would have done the same thing with it or a program called Boch's.

I was hoping that Sony would make PCI cards or even PCMCIA cards that would would compliment software emulation.

All said, I'm very content playing Intelligent Qube and Puzzle Fighter on my PowerBook on Airplane trips with the Gravis Gamepad that was just a "PSX controller with a USB connection."
