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)."

Both the other two stories I have looked at failed. The first one got failed due to it coming from a spyware loaded website. The second one got fail for being a dup of the first failed story. So this story is good to go

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 Roy6475d ago (Edited 6475d 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_Shadow6475d 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 Roy6475d 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.

nbsmatambo6474d ago

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

DaTruth6474d ago

It needs in-game music from xmb.

Zerodin6475d ago

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

Deviant6475d ago (Edited 6475d ago )

/agreed

at least the xbox is capable of burning stuff

Hawkeyes3156475d ago (Edited 6475d ago )

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

OmarJA6475d ago

just when i thought u couldn't get anymore retarded

chasuk086475d ago

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

Hawkeyes3156475d ago

nice chasuk, that was even better.

TheDeadMetalhead6474d ago

*raises hand*

OH! OH!! I know this one! I KNOW THIS ONE!!!!! Pick me!! Pick me!!!

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 CELL6475d ago

wow i wounder if its 1080p

Silogon6475d 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.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle15d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7715d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde22d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy22d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12522d ago (Edited 22d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga23d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199223d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga23d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman22d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger23d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box23d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion22d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7223d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7523d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit23d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14923d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7723d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
