Yeah you can play virtually any console game on your computer through emulation. You can download programs (legally and free) which will make the game think it's being run under it's console.

Emulating games is only legal if:[*] You own the original console[*] You own the original game[*] You dump the ROM yourself[*] (Where applicable) You dump the motherboard yourself

Downloading ROMs from websites is illegal, even if you own the original game. The "24 hour trial" does not appear on the law. Possessing an emulator is legal.

Ever since I lost the power cables for my PS1 I've been emulating the games. The good part is I have unlimited memory cards XD

Some emulators:
. - An SNES emulator
. - a PS1 Emulator
. - a OGB, GBC and GBA emulator. I don't think they're gonna do NDS, since it has a touch screen.

* These laws may not be correct, depending on where you live and the last time I checked them *

Ah well, don't blame the people asking about 360's, I would too...

Zeratul, apparantly the chances of Bioware's games appearing on multi-platform (which is now just 360 and PS3) has increased because of this merge they've done with whoever. So, technically, you could be seeing KOTOR 3 on the PS3.

yea but bioware stopped making kotor, obsidian entertainment and lucasarts made the 2nd one, and its probably gonna be the same case with the 3rd.

[Frisky_Biscuits]

they stopped making it to fully develop that Chinese game, i cant remember what it is called, so they let obsidian do it. so technically, cant they go back and develop the third one?

yea that sounds good, "hey we ditched you for some other game, but it didn't do so well.... will you take us back?!?!? PLEASE?!?"

no. they'd have to get rid of obsidian who did a fine job in the first place.

and Jade Empire is what you are thinking of.

[Frisky_Biscuits]

yea that's what it is called, but wasn't the first KOTOR better than the second one?

yes but merely because of the storyline, which is entirely lucasart's fault and they did both of them. obsidian did a freaking great job

[Neumie]

aye they did. i really liked KOTR2. it was very dfferent from the usual star wars type stories.....more sinister. It needed more developement time though...it was a bit buggy. KOTR1 was great aswel.
Didn't microsoft make some sort of contract or something with bioware, sighning them on as a 2nd party developer?

euan, wtf is your problem? i am not a sony fanboy any more. I have a PSP. I have a PS2. Is that a problem? maybe im not a nintendo fanboy, but I like other consoles. At least I'm not the crazy one saying Ratchet and Clank is a better game than Zelda. 360 looks great, and they're online really destroys Sony's and what I've seen of Nintendo's so far. So, dont start calling me a "Microsoft Fanboy". Plus, it looks like Square Enix is shifting towards developing for the 360.
