Hi Everyone.

Now that Sony has announced that the PSX 2 is coming later on in 2000,
don't give up on the PSX 1 yet.

Especially us Yaroze folk..

Here is why:

One we have aready spend a considerable amount of money for a PSX that can
A: Play Any Foreign or Domestic game. B: can program using Programming
tools that one can maintain off the internet, and C: we have a Loyal group
of adherents who have done some, and don't do any {like me} continous
programming on a game console.

The Connectix VGS will probably not go away. Since it will emulate the
PSX1 and not the 2.

And it would be cool if Electronic Gaming Monthly would stop bashing
Emulators in General. Enough already, just say that running Emulator
systems with Illegally obtained {CD} OR {EP} ROM software is a bad thing
and get on with it.

The ONLY Legally usable emulator system is for the Vectrex.
Hasbro has set an Interesting Precedent with the staff of Smith
Engineering and the GPL agreement they have released an Now Out of
Production suite of software and Hardware for the enjoyment of Gaming
enthusiasts who have the capability of putting together the nessesary data
to be able to enjoy the Vectrex system.

Back to the PSX2 and PSX1, the PSX2 will be fully back-ward compatible
with PSX1 gaming technology. This is a good thing. We can enjoy our legacy
games and Sony has provided a mechanism to do this.

As Yarozers we can leverage this aspect by keeping in the development loop
for the Net Yaroze. Sony has been winding down the PSX_NY project since
Bill R. and Greg L. had left. They feel that the Yaroze program was a bitt
too much too late.

I disagree.

I was pleased that Sony bit the bullet and advertised for me to Join In.
I did, and have not looked back. The Yarose and the regular PSX are great
learning tools for Gaming enthusiasts.

I would like to ask, if possible, for a census of users who feel that we
can still have a viable group effort to expand the Yaroze program to allow
Yarozers access to more formidable tools the the existing ones at our
disposal.

Reply to this posting, but do not quote it, and give us your feelings on
the matter.
