Hey guys, today I saw an emulator of PS3 & Xbox 360. I downloaded it but I need to buy digital games in ISO format so I can run it. I don't have good internet speed to digitally download 40 GB! or may be 15 GB games!

Anyone having good internet speed can test this? Please... I need to play the games.

Anyone wants to tell him, or should we let him figure it out?

Nice try 1st of April.

[DP Man]

Didn't believe it for a second

[RamKaNam]

Yea tell me is this works? At least smallest PS3 game?

What's the legality of this anyway? Emulators aren't illegal provided no original copyright code is used. Could argue there are patent violations I guess. Anyone know more about this one?

Moved to gaming chat for now. Suspecting a lock.

Well, hope someone try this.. As I actually need to borrow PS3 disk from some of my friend and then rip it to iso.. but wait, I need blueray writer! wtf.

Hardware emulation has always been legal. The problem with modern console emulation is that you need a ROM image of BIOS and/or flash memory to run the virtual console. These are illegal to distribute. If the emulator package comes with one of these, it should be treated as warez. If it's a bare emulator requiring user to obtain images from their own console, then it's fine.

Not that it matters with this particular "release".

Edit: Go ahead and kill the link to torrent just in case. I have no idea what's in that executable, don't feel like finding out, and there are a lot of idiots around.

Yeah! But there was not game in it! I downloaded and ISO-Games was empty! That's the reason I cant test it as I have 512 KB/s internet! It will take ages to buy digital game and download it.

If by some luck you haven't tried running that executable yet, you probably shouldn't.

No, the file is clean. I scanned it with VT and it came out as clean. But sandbox is better.

That just means that it's not recognized in database and doesn't trip heuristics. An executable that scans clean but nukes your system is trivial to write.

I may be missing something but you guys do release that something posted before April 1st isn't an April fool's joke? Note the date of that blogspot post.

[K^2]

A good April 1st joke comes a week before or a week after, when nobody expects it.

I don't know if this is necessarily meant as April 1st joke. The date could be a good setup. But it's fake either way, so why does it matter?

Not even PS2 emulator works properly after all these years. Why would a PS3 and Xbox 360 work any better? Not to mention how the emulator emulates BOTH PS3 AND Xbox 360 games! 2 completely different architectures. It would take a serious genius to make something like that. If this isn't April's fools joke, it is probably something more sinister.

[xHIGHWAY_REAPERx]

I personally have a collection of emulators on my PC and all work GREAT!

However mine is only as recent as Xbox 360.
With limited titles and many bugs.

Emulation is LEGAL so long as you rip the .iso file from a CD you have purchased.

To download a torrent of a game is a legal, something I'm guilty of however forums guidelines don't like to promote illegal use on these forums.

--

Personally, it'll be years before you can properly emulate a 360, and a decade before you can emulate a PS3.

--

However very fitting date to post this, if it was a failed April Fool's you can not pull it off as an actual topic.

This^
sorry OP but a working PS3 emulator wont exist any time soon

[Street Mix]

Thanks. Finally I'll play RDR today.

I don't trust random torrent comments.
