PS2 Software Emulation

Recent PS3s, if you're in Europe, can't play PS2 games - they lack the required magic dust that launch models made a selling point of. To be honest, PS2 games tend to look a bit crappy when they're upscaled on a HDTV, but Reeves has suggested that in addition to the PS2 SingStar games being able to run natively on a PS3, SCEE are looking into other titles which also might be worth the time to convert, according to this German site (credited url).

I thought the new Singstar for the PS3 lets you play tracks from the PS2 Singstar disc not actually emulating the full game. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Darkiewonder6447d ago

yeah.

It's only an engine to run and decode the songs on the ps2 disc but you're still basically playing the ps3 Sing Star [since on the ps.blog they said you're still able to download songs while doing so]

so it's not an emulation of ps2 game.

Ju6446d ago (Edited 6446d ago )

That's not was Reeves said. He said Singstar PS2 will run on the PS3 thru emulation (no Singstar PS3 required).

Sie werde mittels einer Software-Emulation realisiert [...] Mit diesem ließen sich alle PS2-Singstar-Folgen direkt auf der PS3 abspielen. Man benötige kein PS3-Singstar. "Wir beobachten, bei welchen Titeln sich dies noch lohnen wird, und werden in Zukunft möglicherweise weitere PS2-Spiele auf der PS3 per Emulation zum Laufen bringen." Dies sei jedoch ein technisch sehr aufwendiger Prozess, weil die nötigen PS2-Chips den aktuellen PS3-Modellen fehlen.

English:
It [Singstar PS2] is implemented thru SW emulation. With it all Singstar PS2 titles will be running on the PS3. No PS3 Singstar is needed. "We are watching, if this makes sense for other titles as well, and will possibly make further PS2 titles available for the PS3 via emulation." It is a technical very complex task because of the missing PS2 chips in the current PS3 models.

(well, I hope I got it somewhat right).

Well, only time will tell us that boys and girls.
I think when sony has retired the ps2, they might add bc through emulation..just be patient.

But i was watching the leipziq conference with this mr. reeves and..hehe i hate to say this but damn, what a bad presenter he is! I mean he was talking as if someone has holding a gun to his balls:( so nervous and he never smiled once during the whole conference.

Compared him to hirai, he presents like a 10 year old:) hehe

zo6_lover276447d ago

God your an idiot.

plain rice6447d ago (Edited 6447d ago )

To say the PS2 hasn't had any good games to play shows how retarded you are. You've been hibernating too long in Microsoft's ass.

killing_Art6447d ago

And this my friends, is why I bought a 60gb EU/UK PS3; only games I possess that don't run on it perfectly is the old Ratchet and Clanks. Everything else I chuck at it seems to work fine

Note Microsoft can't be arsed getting half of XBOX (1) library of games games working on 360 either.

So there.
