| KBG29 said: Very cool. Sony needs to get their act together. Nintendo and MS are doing B/C right. All systems going forward should offer full emulation of every console from the past. With Nintendo going to ARM & Nvidia for the next 20 years, the investment in an emulator for that instruction set and chipmaker will pay massive dividends. An X86 & AMD Emulator for PS1,2,3, P, & Vita should be high priority. Hopefully by the time I pick up my 1st Switch this holiday or early next year, we will have a decent library of Virtual console titles to choose from. |
Why are they going ARM and NV for the next 20yrs, exactly?
I find it hilarious that you speak of a "high-priority x86 and AMD (same thing) emulator" for all the Sony systems though - have you ever tried to write an emulator, especially for something as exotic as the PS2/3? Frankly, even an emu for Genesis is difficult to write. There is a good reason why those are not implemented in PS4, ranging from difficulty of implementation (PS3 would be difficult to implement on a potato CPU such as the one in the PS4) to irrelevance (most PS1 games).
