Why the need for crappy clones rather than a PSX emu

And I've finally been able to give you a shiny mod badge thanks to the forum upgrade.

Nice speech btw.

Hey I happen to think that making a PSX emu would be extremely cool for DC o.o... I'd FINALLY get to play Megaman X on my Dreamcast

Althou I dont think that making games on DC is a bad thing I think that making a PSX emu is more important as I need my Megaman X and my Metal Slug on Dreamcast

Shoot me please.
Ok I'm writing this post for a second time after just spending some major time writing it for the first time for nothing. Oh well. Anyways I'll just sum the darn thing up a lot.
Alright, PSX emulation is not worth being on the DC if its going to be sonething like 2 fps and look like crap. The only way it be worth emulating on the DC would be if the game would have some improvements like with Bleem. Now we all know we can't achieve that with the stuff we use to program on the DC now. With the greatest emulator on the DC now, DreamSnes, not even being able to emulate games perfectly how can we emulate a PSX game. Its not really possible. With this said we should give up on the idea of PSX emulation on the DC and hope for some cool Homebrewed games and maybe a decent Gameboy emulator.

umm its been done with bleem! Possible it is, time is important, along how much the developers work on it. Nester runs great frnes runs great, smeg runs great. Dreamsnes is getting impressively better and DCgen is getting upgraded soon. These emulators will no doubt in my mind be perfect before long. If someone wants to attack the PSX emu to DC scene GO FOR IT!

SlyFox: Thats because SNES uses ROM emulation.. there's a huge difference between console emulation loading game data from ROMs and loading game data from CDs! So PSX is probably even MORE POSSIBLE than SNES when it comes to dreamcast. And besides, does it hurt you if somebody tries?

Bleemcast sucks. It only supports one game(and not because it ran all of them buggy, its because they wanted to make 1 look a lot better than PSX). And the games that it support arent even the best of the PSX(the 2D, biatch!). Who wants to play a 3D game with PSX graphics? Besides if somebody did make a PSX emu that ran 2D PSX games, then it probably wouldnt load because DC has 4 times as much memory as the PSX and you probably wouldnt need to use more than 2megs for the emulator.

Ummmm, no it aint, they made it one disc compatible because they couldnt release updates. Imagine having bought it and then they improved it. You would have to buy it again and you would be pissed. I know i would. Or imagine playing a game to the end and then finding out the emu dosent run the ending sequence.

They had to make it single game as this was the only way around this problem. Perfect emulation with improvements. This also proves genral emulation of the PSX is possible on the DC.
