Do we really need a PS2 emu? - Page 4

i vote no. if this kind of new emulator gets as big as bleem, it'll just run into legal problems and disappoint millions of users. i'm surprised that no other emulators have been made illegal.

Freeware (ex ePSXE) Emulators will probably never be illegal, because by the time they're out the system is old (2-3 years). Also making an emulator illegal is like making a CD-burner or VCR illegal, because you can pirate coyright stuff on them.
Free emu's take a long time because they're only so much programming you can do in your free time, so a freeware emulator will always take more time to complete and be out later than a commercial one. A free emu is usually 2-5 people workiung in their spare time.I mean it's taken this long for a good freeware emulator and tons of freeware plugins to finally surpass compatibility in one commercial emulator made years ago (VGS).
If there's a freeware PS2 emu out it'll take a long time, and they'll be selling the PS3 by then so they probably won't care.
A commercial emu however can have like 20-30 people working full time, and that would be out really fast, if anyone wants to try and fight SONY again.

And finally we need a PS2 emu just to shut up all those annoying people posting about the new PS2 emulator they downloaded
