Emulation - Blu-ray Forum

boweyang · 07-13-2006, 01:58 AM

If you don't know, almost every system made has been emulated to work for PCs. There is still not a stable release for the PS2 or the XBOX, but there still is. What I believe is that they will not be able to do this for the 360 or the PS3 because of the hardware required to run a program to run the PS3.

I just want you to laugh at the idea that some geeks are going to replicate the system (with a controversial 3.5 or 2.8 Ghz CPU) to a computer (at max 3.2 Ghz)(and an ultra-high-end video card); not to mention that it will still have to run Windows (or Linux), and the BD drive required ($500-1000) and the programing required just to run on a 15"-23" monitor. The PS3 with a 48" high end TV will equal all that and the programming required to make the PC that runs PS3.

To those that think about doing this almost impossibe task, either do it when it comes out and let me laugh at your face for 5 years or wait 5 years.

you can laugh about it now but a couple of years down the track, any bets it would be possible.
