NES Emulator for PS3 released

From QJ.net:

"PlayStation3 homebrew seems to be picking up some tempo. A Japanese coder recently released a NES emulator for the console using BD-J. Aside from being an emulator, the program also acts as a filer that displays certain kinds of images (PNG, GIF, JPG)."

Hats off to this guy and all his hardwork, this is truly a break thru because of the complicated manor of the systems security. the sad thing is it's all for not when a new firmware comes out. I don't condone the stealing of games, but in this instance this guy has done something no one said was possible.

Alexander Roy6394d ago (Edited 6394d ago )

You should educate yourself about the thing before you write nonsense. This has nothing to do with hacking the system, much less the FW or even bypassing the Hypervisor - this is done via the PS3's Java capabilities.

If Sony released a "patch" to prohibit the use of BD-J, they would shoot themselves in the leg since that cripples features used by Bluray movies.

JD_Shadow6394d ago

You're not really getting what he said.

He was meaning that Sony has really done what they could to squash even homebrew apps from being able to be played on their consoles (it's been well documented), so it is expected that they would pick up on this rather quickly and act upon it really quickly.

I know it sucks, but it's something that we've been getting used to.

Alexander Roy6394d ago

Yeah, but no sound kinda kills the appeal of it for me. I can't imagine playing SMB without music, because I love the BGM. Still, cool to finally see something like that.

nbsmatambo6394d ago

this sorta makes me wanna see SMB on PS3 as an official game =/

DaTruth6394d ago

It needs in-game music from xmb.

Zerodin6394d ago

LOL!
So this is what the power of the PS3 can do?

Deviant6394d ago (Edited 6394d ago )

/agreed

at least the xbox is capable of burning stuff

Hawkeyes3156394d ago (Edited 6394d ago )

The xbox does burn things. It's a flaming homosexual console.

OmarJA6394d ago

just when i thought u couldn't get anymore retarded

chasuk086394d ago

The only thing xbox burns is its internal components and peoples houses

Hawkeyes3156394d ago

nice chasuk, that was even better.

If only it had sound and the controls were a bit tighter. This would be the greatest additive to the ps3 yet. Maybe they can work on it some more??? Awesome stuff and gives hope to future projects.

THC CELL6394d ago

wow i wounder if its 1080p

Silogon6394d ago

Well it boots in 1080p, but I'm sure it's upscaled. Like your dvd's. I am using a 1080p with it right now and while it's cool, it's off. The controls and framerate are a tad choppy and the no music is really a killer. As I said, I hope they make adjustments to this cause this is pretty cool.

Konami Delists Some Metal Gear Games From Digital Stores Without Warning

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.

cloganart3d ago

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Commentby3d ago

Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.

jjb19813d ago

If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."

Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"

Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

computeSci2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

And? What is your point?

Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"

I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:

"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."

So again, what is your point?
