Playstation Classic is using the open-source PCSX emulator in order to play its games

DSOGaming writes: "A lot of console gamers were hyped when Sony announced the Playstation Classic. However, it appears that Sony has not developed its own emulator and instead it is using the open source PCSX emulator that most PC gamers have been using all these years."

[lnfiniteLoop]

should have had a line in the licence that read "not to be used for commercial use"... that would have stopped Sony from using it dead in there tracks from using it... Sony are scum who are quite happy to use other peoples work for profit and not pay for it...

[kneon]

It's under GPL, so commercial use has always been allowed.

[darthv72]

Oh imagine if they were using something like bleem. It could have produced a much cleaner look to the old school graphics.

[Skull521]

I just think it is funny Sony needs to use someone else's emulator to play their own games... like, why? I suppose the emulator could be better than the original PS tech.

I think the PS/N64 games are gonna be the worst. It's like the games were running in impressive 3d at the time but the framerates were in the single digits but no one cared because we didn't know any better. That era didn't age well, best to have just been a part of it while it was here instead of going back to it.

[naruga]

@infinite ....are you serious ? or trolling....since when "pirate" emulators have the right to own their emulated products??????.....whatever PCSX emulator is reproducing is by DEFAULT owned by Sony ....since they r owners of the source material (PS1) .....

[YoshiFtJ]

Not at all true. The only thing Sony owns is the BIOS, and PCSX can run via HLE without one.

[kneon]

If it's a clean room emulator then it's completely legal and Sony owns none of it. It's the same for other emulators, that's why companies go after the ROM and ROM distributors because they do have a case there..

[starchild]

That's completely false, naruga.

[rainslacker]

That's not how the emulator works. It interprets Sony's original code into the code for another machine. Then as it sends back data to the program, it reinterprets it into the original PS1 machine code that the program uses to process the task.

At least in simple terms.

The emulator itself doesn't use any of Sony's own code to work, it's merely an interpreter. Older emulators used the original bios code to control that flow of data, but they don't really need to do that anymore.

However, ironically for all the pirates out there, Sony, or those who buy this device, are the only one's who are allowed to run games on this emulator legally. But legality is limited to the games they include in the system itself.

I'll get disagrees, because some people think they have the right to do whatever they want with their games, but technically, that's not true. Sony, or any company really, may not go after you, but that doesn't mean that its legal.

All that being said, I'd be perfectly fine if Sony decided to use this emulator to create a PS1 BC solution for PS4.

[Ju]

I would even go so far and say they already do. PS1 classics run on the PS4 and also in PSNow. I doubt this uses a signigicantly different emulator. Also, being open source and all, I wonder if they have contributed to the emulator (and possibly worked out a deal with the developers). Wouldn't surprise me. If you can't beat them join them.

[doggo84]

LMAO the irony in your comment. you are a special kind of delusional troll.

[YoshiFtJ]

No reason for Sony to pay to develop their own when they can use a well known pre-established emulator that falls under GPL.

What Sony should have done is put more effort in presentation, but this is a holiday cash grab product that they have no real belief in.

[2pacalypsenow]

The PS4 is dominating and will dominate the holiday.

Why would they put all their focus on a PS1 console. They’re just trying to get a piece of the pie like Nintendo.

[Zenbaby369]

They don't need better presentation. These things sell themselves

[ZeroX9876]

Good thing Sony didn't sue those guys back then!
I know they've sued the "Bleem!" emulator back in the days, but thanks god "bleem!" was the winner in court. paved the way to this little gem :)

[2pacalypsenow]

Being a winner in court put them out of business.

[Sirk7x]

Pcsx is open source, requires no bios, and was built in a way that violates no copyrights. It is a completely legal emulator. Procuring games to play on it is another matter. It's just ironic and hypocritical, because the industry is fighting so hard against roms and emulation, but literally, they have to use open-source tools that their PAYING FANS have built, because these companies haven't invested their own time in preserving their own products. The PS Classic probably wouldn't even exist without open source emulators, because then they would have had to pay more for research and development and software engineering. So you have companies suing sites that host roms and emulators, which preserves the industry, and then they go and use their tools and roms to sell their own products.

[rainslacker]

@Sirk

But they're going after these emulators and ROM companies because they are distributing products that Sony, or other companies, may still be able to make a profit off of. Like the PS Classic for instance.

Sure, there may still hundreds, or thousands of other games, no one will ever see again, but at the same time, the games that are active, or have high potential for being active through current distribution channels(mini systems, online stores through BC, etc) have these products for sale.

If anything, the irony is on those who say these games are so old that there is no money to be made on them anymore, because now more than ever, it's more likely to be easy to get free games easily.

[InTheZoneAC]

Reported, please keep uninformed opinions off the site

[Cobra951]

Reported for what, having an opinion you don't like? I don't like it either, but I'm not about to try usurping his right to express it.

[2pacalypsenow]

Or they could of used their own.

[AnubisG]

Oh really? But it's all fine to play pirated ROMs on these emulators huh? That's not scummy at all.....

[ExplodingJuice]

GPL dumbass.

[rainslacker]

How are they scum for using open source code to make a product? You know even MS has quite a few things they do open source with right? The whole point of open source is to put it out there for people to use it.

Given that PCSX wouldn't even exist if Sony didn't make the PS1, I think they may have a bit of a right to use what is essentially an interpreter for their original machine code. And they have the right regardless, because the project allows it. If anything, PCSX shouldn't even run games on anything that isn't a PS1 platform, so this is really the only way to legally run PS games through that emulator. Emulator may be legal, but it's not actually legal for the customer to run games on it. But, yeah, scummy Sony, I guess.

Hell, MS could use it if they wanted, although they'd likely get slapped with quick lawsuits for emulating PS games on devices that weren't licensed for those games.

[Muzikguy]

I loved the idea of this classic system but Sony really messed up with it. The game selection is terrible, no analog controller, the price, and now this? I guess the emulator could be a debatable issue, but I just feel as though they rushed this thing. There are so many awesome games that I still enjoy to play and would have bought this for. Oh well. I guess I'll just get that laptop and run the emulators myself

[riibhu]

Lmao. This is golden. Hey, will those who have criticized PC gamers here on N4G, for using emulator now criticize Sony too? Or is hypocrisy gonna win the day as usual.

[Jinger]

Oh i doubt this article will even get above 100 degrees since no Sony fanboy will come near this news lol

Hey, if it's open source then screw it. Use it. Saves them a ton of money as all they need to do is make the cheap plastic casing.

[uth11]

I'm an emulator fan, and a Sony fan, and I don't see what the big deal is. They aren't the only company that has packaged open source emulators into commercial products.

[riibhu]

Yes it's open source I don't have any problem with Sony using it, in fact I encourage it as it saves costs anyway. But my problem arises from the hypocritical and sanctimonious comments of some users here on N4G whenever any article related to pc emulator comes up.
But as you say these users won't show up on this article. Lol.

[CarlDechance]

Uh.....why is this news shocking or taboo in any way? Are you trying to make a big deal out of nothing?

[Godmars290]

@uth11:

Part of the irony is that at one time Sony made BC a mainstream thing with the PS2, backed out of it with the PS3, and now have just made a pay-walled mess of it with the PS4. Nevermind that they're copying Nintendo.

[Goldenhawk521]

2 hours later: 360 degrees!

[Jinger]

@goldenhawk

Lol geez I know! Did not expect anyone would care

[Cobra951]

@uth11: Well, Steve Snake's work features in some Sega 16-bit releases on PC. KEGA Fusion is probably still the definitive emulator for the 8-16-bit Sega consoles and their expansions.

[boing1]

Right. And i'm sure all those PC users have legally acquired all games they can play on this emulator.

[YoshiFtJ]

1. Irrelevant

2. Probably do. PS1 games are cheap. You can run straight off an original disc and can even use Sony's PSN format if you pull the data.

[starchild]

Yep, the PS1 and PS2 games I play on my PC using emulators are all games I own on disc.

[boing1]

Sorry, but I don't believe you.

[Casepb]

Who gives a shit really? PS1 games are old as dirt and have no value anyway.

[l3w1s]

Well, Sony actually paid for the games licenses, and we all know that 95% of regular gamers who emulate don't pay a cent.

[YoshiFtJ]

Not at all true.

You can also hack any Sony platform to run illegal PS1 games using their own emulator if you so desire.

[InTheZoneAC]

Probably more like 99%

[2pacalypsenow]

Gamers are cheap.

[l3w1s]

@Yoshi

What is not true? That Sony paid for the licenses? Or that gamers use emulation mostly to steal?

And so what if you can hack "any Sony platform"? What does that have to do with anything?

[Computersaysno]

"we all know that 95% of regular gamers who emulate don't pay a cent."

Assumptions and lies made by people with no evidence at all to back up their claims, and so they can be easily dismissed without evidence too.

I emulate a lot of games and own so many old titles without the original hardware.

[Sirk7x]

I could argue that people that download and emulate old games probably also are some of the highest spenders on gaming and gaming merch as well.

[Computersaysno]

It's worse than emulating on a crappy PC. It is emulating PS1 games without all the extra resolution, bells and whistles you can get on a low powered modern PC.

You may as well download a better emulator and run the games with more resolution, with settings that eliminate the texture warping, added anti aliasing and filtering etc all the eye candy emulators can do.

[rainslacker]

I won't. Sony, or people who buy this device, are the only ones that can legally play the games themselves on this emulator. All those people who used the emulator on the PC were still playing those games illegally. They could boot up the emulator and look at a black screen all they wanted, but once they started up a game, even if they owned the disc, they were breaking copyright laws.

"2. Probably do. PS1 games are cheap. You can run straight off an original disc and can even use Sony's PSN format if you pull the data."

Yeah, you can. But not legally. Those discs are only licensed to play in a PS1 or officially licensed device. Officially licensed devices would be the PS1, PS2, and PS3. Nothing more, nothing less. You can't even play those games you own on this device if you decided to make a ROM copy of it, and mod it to play other ROMS. At least not legally. And realistically, most people don't own these discs, they download them.

Sony isn't likely to chase after you if you play the emulated games, but that doesn't mean they're legal to play just because you own the disc.

Learn licensing laws before you actually decide to comment on what others say. Because it actually is relevant to the hypocrisy your trying to point out...in that there is really not much hypocrisy, as people have always said you don't have the legal right to emulate those games on other devices.

[X-Alchemist]

Lol this is gold.

[pcz]

sony are bloody lazy. all they do is repackage other peoples ideas

[nitus10]

It may come as a surprise to you but that is how developers work.

This is why Microsoft used a version of "Windows 10" for their XBox1 and Sony for their PS4 used Orbis OS, a modified version of FreeBSD that's similar to Linux. Both Microsoft and Sony don't have to pay a royalty for these operating systems.

Why reinvent the wheel every time you wish to make a new product? Sure some particular ideas can be patented and the people who use that idea do pay a fee up until the expiry of said patent(s), unless (of course) the particular countries patent systems is totally corrupt.

BTW. If you wish to get a migraine, take a look at the wording of some patents. Even if you have an engineering and/or scientific background the legalese used for some modern patents is so vague that it could cover almost anything. https://www.eetimes.com/aut...

[Switch4One]

@Nitus
I'm not sure that's the same thing. Microsoft used a version of their OWN operating system for the Xbox One. That's not the same as "repackage other people's ideas" as pcz said.
Not that I agree with pcz, I'm just saying that you can't use the x company does it too and then give an example which turns out to be the exact opposite.

[asad197]

Almost every one has the ability to play these games free if you have a basic PC. And you can play them today.

[CarlDechance]

Free if you pirate. Otherwise you still have to buy the game. The games are still widely available. I’m currently playing Persona 4 from disc in my PC. Emulators are great if people use them the way they should be used.

[YoshiFtJ]

People who pirate games will do so no matter what, be it hacked it modified OEM hardware or emulation.

Don't try and blame honest users.

[CarlDechance]

@YoshiFtJ

Not sure I follow. I'm not blaming honest user for anything. I said emulators are great if they are used the way they should, meaning not pirating games so you can play them for free.

[cell989]

Well if the games aren’t sold anymore, how else do you suggest we play our fave classics?

[Kribwalker]

@cel

that was everyone’s argument against nintendo having Roms removed. “we can’t buy them so we should get to download them, they are part of gaming history” was consistent when people were mad nintendo had them removed. funny how that changed

[CarlDechance]

@cell989

They are for sale. Try ebay or retro shops. Heck, you can buy a lot of PS2 games brand new on Amazon.

@Krib

"that was everyone’s argument"

uh....I don't know who you are talking about, but you are generalizing heavily. Funny how what changed? if you are suggesting I or someone else have changed their position on piracy based on which company is being pirated....please, point that out. Otherwise, you are just making random arguments with absolutely no merit behind them.

[rainslacker]

"Well if the games aren’t sold anymore, how else do you suggest we play our fave classics?"

Well....since there are many legal devices out there which do give you the ability to play a great number of old games, maybe try one of those? Almost every PS1 games is available on the PSN store, so you could get a PS3. Atari and Sega have officially licensed consoles with tons of the most popular games on them...much more than these mini systems. There are plenty of resources to buy the physical copies of these games really cheap....yard sales on any given spring/summer weekend, ebay, craigslist, other sites, so you could get them there and buy hardware which will play them.

There are of course some games that you can't get them cheap....like many US TG-16/CD games, or any really popular game that had more limited production runs for their time. While i do understand there are times that piracy is more suitable due to things beyond one's control, it shouldn't be used as a primary reason to pirate games, because if anything, there are more options since last gen to play old games legally, than there have ever been in the past.

@Krib

"that was everyone’s argument against nintendo having Roms removed. “we can’t buy them so we should get to download them, they are part of gaming history” was consistent when people were mad nintendo had them removed. funny how that changed"

What's changed? Nintendo has some avenues for buying those games, and people who called out the pirates for using that excuse have no reason to do so against Sony. I see the correlation here. We're talking about Sony using an emulator legally because it's open source and available for them to do so, to play games that they can legally run on the device, because they own or pay the license holders for those games to do so. Do those pirates pay those devs/pubs for the license to run the games on an emulator?

I don't care how much people say that "these companies aren't selling these games anymore", we have right here, in the PS Mini, a system which is selling the games. We have many services which sell these games through individual sales and legally licensed for new hardware, or through compilation discs that come out regularly from various publishers, where the games are legally licensed to run on a different system.

Also, don't try the "you're a hypocrite" generalization of this subject on me. I am well documented for saying that piracy is illegal, and that these companies are well within their rights to protect their interests.

[slate91]

I feel like sony should create their own, and make it available on their on platform. Ps1-ps3 playable on ps4 would be nice

[I_am_Batman]

This is what they should've done. But these classic mini consoles are obviously designed to make a quick buck with low effort. Can't say I'm surprised.

[kneon]

It's also a different target market.

[YoshiFtJ]

They should have allowed customers to continue using the PS1/PS2 titles they have already purchased on previous generation hardware.

PS3 is easier said than done and don't believe it's worth the development costs as it wouldn't run very well given the specs of a PS4.

[kneon]

PS4 likely can't do it, but PS3 emulation may be possible on PS5.

[gangsta_red]

It's obvious that it can be done, easily. It is a sort of slap in the face that they can grab something off the net for their mini but can't provide or won't unlock emulation use for their PS4 console.

[rainslacker]

Or, use this emulator, then use it on the PS4. Maybe use an open source PS2 emulator....although they apparently have one already.

PS3 won't happen though. The emulator that exists wouldn't run the games well on PS4 level hardware.

Emulation is also tricky, as it requires publisher approval. It's not full BC, but can be used as a BC solution. Sony can't just put up an emulator, and say, "here you go, play your games". Same way MS couldn't, and why X1 BC has to wait for publishers to approve it run on the X1 before it will become available.

[YoshiFtJ]

PCSX Reloaded is a pretty good emulator that can run on a potato. They are smart for using it.

[CarlDechance]

Yeah, quite smart. If there is no legal barrier from using the software then no reason not to.

[william_cade]

It doesn't matter. The game selection sucks. Disgruntled PS fan boy here XD

[mark_parch]

I still can't believe they chose twisted metal 1 over twisted metal 2

[william_cade]

I know the selection was tone deaf at minimum. lol

[B1uBurneR]

Sony is for the gamers. Wait a minute wasn't it their fans that made fun of other consoles players for playing old xbox games. All of the sudden their a push for old ass games? Now sony is charging for something that's free open source. #don'tdrinksauce

[2pacalypsenow]

But Sony isn’t making it the top selling pint of their flagship product.

The emulator is free, but the games aren’t.

[Jinger]

But what if you already own those games, but no PS1? Would be nice if they had this emulator on PS4. Instead of having to buy a free emulator to play a handful of games you have previously purchased.

[SpaceRanger]

Maybe because they pushed the Xbox One X, “the worlds most powerful console”, on consumers with this as one of the top selling point. Why? Because nothing else was launching and Crackdown had been delayed for the 3rd or 4th time.

This is a novelty item. Nothing more, nothing less.

[rainslacker]

I'm pretty sure there is some hardware and 20 licensed games to go along with that free open source they're distributing. Unless I missed something.

[BlaqMagiq1]

A Tweet in the article:

"Sony adhered to the license requirements to use it, including providing source code on their website."

What they're doing is legal and I have zero issue with this, but it's kinda funny how they tried to take down Bleem back in the day and now relying on an emulator. As a Sony fan I have no interest in the PS Classic in general though, so Sony can do with it as they wish.

[ZeroX9876]

Exactly!
This shows how creating an emulator is complicated and shouldn't be taken lightly.
So there's absolutely no way that the PS classic is cycle accurate. that's too bad, but understandable.
PCSX has features like savestate, fast forwarding and more, does the PS classic got those too?

[aconnellan]

I think the issue is they repackaged a free emulator and slapped a price tag on it

[2pacalypsenow]

They actually took it down.

They burried Bleem in legal fees.

[Cobra951]

Somewhere down the line, they realized emulation opened new doors to reselling old games for newer hardware. They recognized the demand. And while many people pirate old games, they still sell quite well, even to people who already owned them. A good example is Nintendo's Virtual Console. While that may no longer exist, old games sold on their new consoles still use emulation.

[timotim]

So basically, in a way, these PS Classic games are multiplatform?

[SpaceRanger]

What are you talking about?

[CobraKai]

Since they bought out Bleem so long ago, they should’ve used that. Lord knows I was gonna nab it for Dreamcast.
http://www.gamesfirst.com/a...

[InTheZoneAC]

Does this mean official dualshock controllers will work with analog support if we can put other games on it?

[ZeroX9876]

PCSX is highly compatible with many games!
based on that, I would say yes.

[moomoo319]

Ay so hopefully sony is working with said emulator trying to get these PS3 games backwards compatible

[timotim]

But this isn't BC. Sony is using an emulator not to give it's gamers a BC solution, but to charge them for games they may already own. It's no different than PS Now...instead of a subscription though you are paying for the mini hardware just to get at these games...

[moomoo319]

Im saying even PC modders have struggled to run ps3 games, they get like 5fps. Notice how u cant download PS3 games on ps now but u can download PS2 games, sony hasnt figured out an emulation solution to make ps3 back compat. Maybe they are working with this open source program to figure it out for PS5, similar to what xbox did this gen.

[ZeroX9876]

@moomoo319
RPCS3 have seen great progress in the last few months, with some games having great performance on it!
Main problem is that the required PC hardware do do this is expensive and high end.

[Cobra951]

@moomoo319, the Cell architecture is very powerful, and very alien to x86. Emulating it requires hefty PC hardware. You're never going to see practical PS3 emulation on PS4. PS5? We'll see. I suspect even then it will be a stretch without some form of dedicated hardware assist.

[rainslacker]

This isn't a BC solution. A BC solution is like what MS does with its emulator.

They aren't charging me to play those old games, because I don't pay for PSNow, and I'm not buying this mini.

The mini is cool for a novelty collectors item, but I wouldn't be buying it as a BC solution, because it's a piss poor BC solution, since that's not what it is, and wouldn't allow me to play the games I already own....which are plentiful

Sony isn't charging for a BC solution, they're offering a new product that allows you to play old games which you may or may not own. They aren't saying, "Hey, you want BC with your current content, buy this".

Do people not actually understand what BC is? BC isn't rebuying games repackaged for a new system. It's playing games you already own, on new systems. The games included on this system aren't games you own, but a new copy of the game. If you want to play your old games, then you have to keep the hardware that they play on.

PSNow isn't a BC solution either, because you are playing to play a rental copy of a game you may or may not own.

Sony does not offer a BC solution, so they are not charging you for it.

Sony is restricting BC on PS4, but it isn't charging anyone for it either.

based on what people are saying about the games collection on this system, it seems they either don't own these games, or they don't care enough about them to play them.

But when it comes to the PS Mini, it's more than just 20 games. Its a piece of hardware. A novelty one. One they built. One they licensed 20 games for that you could legally play. Who gives a rats ass how they achieved that on the system, so long as it was legal? Looking at the comments section here, those that seem most upset are the Xbox fan boys.

[timotim]

And what I'm saying is it does not matter what emulation they are using...if all they use it for is a way to charge it's gamers additional money in order to get at these games, then its not BC and certainly not the same as what Microsoft does with BC.

[moomoo319]

@zeroX9876
Word thats the emulator i was thinking of, i saw RDR 1 running pretty ok the other day.
@Cobra951
Yeah the cell architecture is still fucking us this many years later haha

@timotim
Bro im talking about ps3 games potentially on ps5 u keep talking about this overpriced crap mini console and im not arguing that

[akaFullMetal]

Hopefully this means modding can be done to use other psone games eventually.

[Godmars290]

*facepalm*

Who wants to bet that they've tried to take down sites that offered it?

[-volt-]

Preordered cancelled.

[Goldenhawk521]

The original PS1 is anywhere between $15 to $50 online or at a classic game store. Alot of the games you can buy for it are very cheap. There you have the originals and you spend less to equal to what the classic costs. Problem solved.

[fishaz780]

But it ain’t cute and small like the classic 😞

[Vanfernal]

Nobody really criticizes emulation... It's piracy that's the issue. And there's no problem with using an open source code. That's what open source is for. Every programmer nowadays knows that reinventing the wheel its just extra work for you. If you can find an open source code that does what you need to do, it's best to just use it than start from scratch. In this case in particular, it's not surprising that an emulator that has been constantly updated for years does a better job at running than a 20 year old console. Sony used and open source code, and credited the owners of the code. So what's the issue here?

[giovanealex]

OMG! How stupid can someone be to buy this thing, then?

[cell989]

Lmao!!! Well played Sony well played

[GrizToof]

Anyone that thinks that sony owns any of the PCSX emulator needs to stop playing games and get an education. Seriously cant stand reading some of the boneheaded comments here. I'm not the smartest man on the planet by a long shot, so if I think your stupid, that's really saying something about you.

[CDbiggen]

Wow, they're gonna make tons of money off this as basically no effort went into it.

[BioNeo]

Alternate boot mode: BLEEM!

[Dom_Estos]

Sony defense force in full operation in here. (PS4 owner here btw)

Now...imagine if Nintendo did something like this.

[gangsta_red]

Nintendo gets a free pass!!!!!!!

[King_Noctis]

I imagine they have a huge warehouse full of free passes by now.

[rainslacker]

There's nothing to defend here. They didn't do anything wrong. nothing illegal, and they can legally distribute those games to play on the emulator because they either own them, or they paid the publisher for the rights.

You think Sony should have just made its own emulator for it? For what purpose, when the open source one that is completely free for anyone to use is already available. I'm sure they had to modify it some to make it work on their particular device, and add in other code regarding the security of the system.

They had to create the system itself, likely from a readily available ARM or Rasberry Pi type design, design the case, program the connectivity of the controllers, put together the hardware, manufacture the hardware, market the hardware, distribute the hardware, etc.

If Nintendo did something like this, I'd say they were probably smart, because there are plenty of good Nintendo emulators out there, and so long as they did it legally, who cares?

Why is it only the XBox fan boys around here who seem to think this is some major infraction by Sony?

[AK91]

Well that's a damn shame.

[gangsta_red]

"The emulator supports network play and a "save rewind" feature that lets you easily reverse recent gameplay, two features that seem to be missing from the PlayStation Classic."

From
https://arstechnica.com/gam...

I wonder why Sony didn't include this cool feature? Looking like a hard pass even if I was going to pick up one that was "accidentally" dropped off the back of a truck

[xboxcult]

Lol might as well set up a retropie and load it with tons of emualtors and roms for $35. Ps1 classic is pointless.

[Thomaticus]

We can't get that emulator running on a PS4........

[XxINFERNUSxX]

I been using this emulator for years to. I find no point at all to play games on any classic mini console, only thing would be to buy them, leave them in the box for years then sell them when the price sky rockets. I mean you can play all these games on PC, Raspberry Pi, etc and have thousands of games all for the price of FREE :D Torrent all the roms, then call it day.

[inxine]

why not use it, saves them alot money.

They can use PCSX or any other emulator for all I care, but we should have an option to add more titles in there, like we shoulda been able to do with the classic NES & SNES. That list of games doesn't quite do it for me. Where are Castlevania Symphony of the Night, RE2, RE3, Silent Hill, Jumping Flash 2, Crash trilogy, Die Hard trilogy, etc.
