Wrong and wrong. Lik-Sang was not sued because of piracy or modchips at all but because they were selling PSPs to european market. Sony did not want PSPs shipped to Europe until later time. Lik -Sang was a great store where I used to get my custom Street Fighter controllers... They actually stopped selling modchips in 2003 which again...ARE LEGAL! Copying games you don't own isn't legal but moding a console in any way or form is...

And there is no law that prohibits running of software on any machine as long as you don't use the copywright code from the software manufacturer. This is the reason emulators exist and the reason why Sony did not win either of the lawsuits.

You need to either research what you're saying or stop talking.

and i suppose its ok to use the hardwares software? bios anyone?

 

thats not legal but Bleemcast didn't use PS1s bios. It was pure software emulation. Why Sony was against this I will never understand...like yes it's embarrassing that a piece of software is running your games better than the two systems they are meant to be played on....but at the same time, as Sony makes almost all their money on software. And to play this you had to buy the original game...

i did some reasarch, and yes, bleemcast didnt use the ps1's bios. my mistake, i appologize for the sudden harsh attacks. i tend to be very emotinal when it comes to piracy as this is the reason why sony and microsoft have not officially launched the ps3 and x360 here. if our ps3s and or x360s suddenly suffer any hardware problems, rrod, bdl failure, etc etc, we're stuck with a huge expensive pice of crap as there is no offical support here. we have to settle on thirdparty repairs who often use cheap crap to repair our systems.

as for why sony was against this, sony during that time was also pushing the dvd format which is why they incorporated a dvd player into the ps2. the 2 things which the ps2 had over the dc is the dvd player and the ps1 liblary. with the bleemcast, it effectively cancels out one of its key features. and seeing as the dreamcast was cheaper, it could have contended with the ps2.
