Can't say anymore, cough cough, nudge nudge, etc. But yeah, with the PS1, low-level was a no-no. > > Considering you need a 450Mhz PentiumII to emulate the PocketStation (!), I don't >think any PS2 > > Then it's not setup properly.

Well, emulating the processor is one thing, emulating the processor, the sound chip, the variable frequency screen, the infra-red, well that's another story. I think that's why it needed such a high-spec PC. As I recall, Datel didn't get the Gameboy-on-PSX emulator to do sound because it was just too darn hard. Sounds like "too-darn-processor-intensive" to me. > Cygnus is shipping one as part of the PSX2 devkit isn't it? AFAIK, it just emulates a certain aspect of the chip, not the whole chip itself. You'll see why it's necessary if/when you get one. I'd better not say anymore, this isn't the appropriate forum. :O) > Jame's - you're an Oz bloke aren't you? YARGH! Insult number one: Never call a New Zealander an Australian, and never call an Australian a New Zealander. A certain Mr Colin Hughes of Sony does that regularly, and it is _extremely_ irritating. Same goes for mistaking Canadians and Americans, the Irish and English, and the Japanese and Chinese. Easy mistake to make, but it certainly pushes a few buttons in some people. :O) Try calling George a Yank. :OD > Ever heard of a guy called Cameron, > used to work for Melbourne house down under, now heads up a team in Croydon > doing Gameboy stuff? YARGH! Insult number two: Why does everyone in England assume that all foreigners from a particular country know each other? The number of times I've heard "Oh, you're from New Zealand? Say, do you know ? S/He lives there.". The answer to your question Craig, is "No, I haven't had the pleasure". :O) Cheers, James -- == James_Russell@scee.sony.co.uk ph: +44 (171) 447-1626 - fax: 390 4324 == Tools and Middleware Licensing Manager - Sony Computer Entertainment Europe A Buddhist asks for hot dog: "Make me one with everything."
