Someone trying to sell PS2 and XBOX emulators?!?!

Hey guys, I just saw this on one of my usual forums that I visit, and I'm not sure if it has been brought to the attention of the people of NGEMU.
Check this link out:
http://www.egdgames.com/

Apparently, this man's company has released an xbox and ps2 emulator, and are selling it on ebay. They even have "screenshots" of the emulator in action on a pc monitor.

Maybe it is just my opinion, but I bet all they are trying to sell is a vga to pc adapter.

Read it for a good hard laugh!

Laterz!

hmmmm, looks exactly like a VGA adapter to me....
Plus the bit about it not playing backups, Sony and MS could both easiyl sue them for reproducing there copyrighted code the exists as the protection.

I would almost pay the $30 just for the laugh...

Re: Someone trying to sell PS2 and XBOX emulators?!?!

Heh, I can make an auction like that THOUSAND times more interactive and of course cheaper . LOL, he think he can do that on eBay ... hope someone [admin] delete that listing. BTW, I've contact the seller to know what exactly is that ... just to make sure .

An emulator which plays 90% of PSX, PS2 and XBox games and plays only original CDs. Yeah right!

Re: Someone trying to sell PS2 and XBOX emulators?!?!

I DO !!! And bTw, the auction [for those PS2 and Xbox emulator] has been closed as you'all wished

Strangely, he sells GB Advance SP for $50, PS2 for $100, GC $75 and many items, INCLUDING shipping.

This guy try to rip all your money !!! Ok, I'll take care of the "buy it now". The rest would NOT be my "authority", so I can't do anything with them.
