Playstation Emulator - it works

I have just been playing around with the latest version of the Bleem Playstation emulator. There is a demo available at www.bleem.com. In the demo, 3D hardware support and sound are disabled, but it still gives you a good idea of how it will work. And it works surprisingly well. I was just playing around with the European (PAL) versions of V-Rally, Gran Turismo, Need for Speed III and Porsche Challenge, and they all work without a hitch. It's kind of cool to play them in a little window on your desktop at work :) You do need some pretty serious computer muscle for it to run smoothly, but most of the people in this group are well up the technology curve. I recommend trying it out for some fun. Stephen

Does it support windows joystick controllers? Cheers, Paul

Have you tried GT? In my ver polygons go missing in the ground and you start launching off these massive holes in the ground! Kindov amusing but not for long..... ilmore

Go here for PSEmu... It is a playstation emulator made by a bunch of enthusiasts.. it has FULL sound suppport, FULL 3D support, but I'm not sure about the Joystick Win '98 controller support.. go to: www.psemu.com You will need to download the extra drivers.. but just get them ALL.. and install them (cpoy into direcotry), and then you select the drivers you want... I haven't tried a wheel with GT tho.. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!! Can someone tell me if they have and HOW?? Thanx.. James

It talks about putting some emulator stuff in the BIOS directory. Where is my bios directory likely to be. What is this emulator stuff and is it safe or is it going to flash my BIOS which I'm not to keen on. Cheers, Paul

The emulator needs the PSX bios (obviously not legal to have), but if you hunt around it will probably be readily available in some of the darker corners of the 'net Cheers! John

You need to download a BIOS image file from the same site (or some other emu site) which is only legal if you own a playstation. The BIOS directory is a subdirectory where the EMulator is installed. It has nothing whatsoever to do with your computer's BIOS and is only used to start the emulator's 'virtual machine'. The emulator is just a sort of translator that takes the data from a PLaystation CD and translates it to work on your PC. They tend to be pretty buggy but often playable enough to enjoy. IF you own a playstation, the games are better and more fun on the playstation, tho. daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com/ The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! -----------== Over 66,000 Groups, Plus a Dedicated Binaries Server ==----------

John, I think I've got something that's legal for me to use because I own a Playstation. But I don't know where to put it and I'm worry it will flash my BIOS - does it? Cheers, Paul

You download a ZIP file, and UNzip it into the BIOS Directory in the PSEMU directory (or whatever the dir is called where the emulator is installed). It wont do anything to your computers BIOS at all -- Nathan Wong http://www.nectar.com.au/~alfacors Alfa Romeo - Super Touring - Club Cars http://fullspeed.to/astc Australian Super Touring Championship News and Information
