Hmm, using some common sence it would seem that since its possible to run a linux distro on this console it may be possible to execute an emulator.

Assuming in the worst case scenario that theres no working emulator for the specific platform you want to emulate on the compatable linux distro, im sure a copy of VMware should be able to launch an emulated copy of windows.

Although why youd wanna defile a ps3 this badly is beyond me

Happy hacking lol

[...] Today at TGS, KrazyKen announced just that – Genesis/Megadrive and Tg-16/PCEngine downloads for the PS3. Look down that article to 01:57:32, then flip over to videogamesblogger.com and see their account as well. THEN head here and/or here to see that Sega flat denies it saying that that information is still “under examination”. [...]

Yeah thats fine to have it in a legal ROM perspective, probably wrapped and embedded in some modified emulator and sell it that way, most of the work has been done for them already. And Im not trying to promote illegal usage of downloading roms, just merely state that if Sony does it first, they stand a chance of making money on it, but wait too long, somebody else will figure out how to get the illegal type of ROMS up and running on the PS3, like they have on every other console out already.

They are talking about DOWNLOAD ROMS that is the Main Criteria getting a Emulator is easy for them.. But Sony wants the Rights to digitally distribute Genesis games(for which it will charge gamers) from Sega.

Whats the point of trying to build in 16 bit console support into a new console? Have they learned nothing from the hacking community, its called an EMULATOR! I mean christ, I have played GENESIS games on my old XBox, and Super Nintendo games on my PSP, all emulated. Not like the PS3 doesnt have the hardware power to run the emu, they just need to quit being stupid about it.
