Summary: Sony's shipping Cygnus tools as the defacto standard (ditching SN Systems? not before time...). Cygnus have developed an emulator for Playstation2 that allows developers to write games without the actual hardware. And it was developed FOR Sony.Interesting. It'll take a bloody quick PC to run that one at a reasonable pace (so, 12 months time). My own opinion: I reckon Yaroze 2 (if there ever is one) will be software only.... Craig.
