Comment Virtual GameStation (Score 1) 160
I have an iMac at home, and the Virtual GameStation runs like a champ. I can play every game expect Parappa and Bust a Groove (music synch isn't the best, but for any other game it works great.).
I see a lot of problems for sony, who makes most of their money off of the licensing. Now that connectix has made an emulator, its only a matter of time before someone ports GCC to support it. Then we can all make playstation games, and not give any money to Sony. Also, there is already a crack that lets Virtual GameStation read burned cd's, so software piracy is already going to be an issue.
Sounds like it's time for SOny to rush development of PlayStation II instead of worrying about this. There's not much they can do now... the software is already out there. I feel bad for Connectix because if they lose, they will lose bad. This could potential open up the playstation platform (which is probably a good thing... at least ONE platform out of all those consoles should be open).
It's also made the Mac platform a great one for games. And a $1000 imac can pretty much rock as a playstation. Just wait until you're sitting next to me on a plane with your color gameboy, and I whip out my powerbook and play Einhander and Tekken 3. :)
