i can't see a comparison between great artists etc and atari mate LOL.. saying that this was my first console back in early 80s and brought many hrs of joy to me.. consoles came so far.. thank god.
thanks for the work but i agree, come on mate , an emulator for ps3.. geees.. isn't there something better to work on.. like ps1 and ps2..
leave 2 bit in past.
Not knocking this guys work and all, but do people seriously need to play these old systems on there ps3? I mean come on a atari 2600 emulator?
Do people seriously need to read Shakespeare, Homer, or other old literary works? No, they don't *need* to, but playing emulators and games for older systems is the gaming equivalent of people reading these older works of art in the literary world.
this was the first games system I played with my Dad, that got me hooked on gaming. Brings back some serious nostalgia playing this, am even tempted to get my Dad round for a session
from a developer's point of view, I think a lot of these are done because they can be, and as a project for people to cut their teeth on, rather than because bucketloads of people are likely to use it, but I for one am really chuffed this has been released. would love to see an Apple IIe emu too, that would probably tempt my Dad into buying a PS3.
yep, hardware breaks and gets rarer over time but good games shouldn't get lost because of it. You might think the games are primitive and rubbish but some kids are going to think the same thing about Killzone 3 and the like in 10 years.
Thank you, rodq. I'll try the update and see what happens.
Also, for everyone else, it seems this is only happening on 500GB+ drives, or maybe larger...
I was going to post this a few hours ago, but I didnt know we could post in this area lol...
It might have made you not try the update...
Have you ...
