RE: Should I, Or Not?

I think you'll have to download bleem as I don't believe it's any longer for sale.

Although Bleem won most of the lawsuits launched against it by Sony, Bleem lost a lot of time and money in court due to these lawsuits. Combined with the lack of succes of their Bleemcast product and the fact that many gamers were moving on to newer, better systems eventually lead to Bleem's demise. As of November 2001, Bleem is no more.
And yes, you need the PS1 games on CD (i'm un sure if burnt copies will work).

I think bleem was a great idea, and I'm surprised Sony didn't just buy them out.
I can understand why bleemcast might not be that great for them, but even so, profits are made through sales of software (not hardware) ...

That said, I understand that bleemcast played PS1 games better then the PS2 did (because bleemcast emulated where as the PS2 had built in PS1 hardware).
