Hey Folks, bet that this was asked several times, but I just want to be sure, that it is asked by me ^^
While trying to fix MGS3 on my PC I came across VMWare, which I am using to emulate Ubuntu.... I played with the Idea to give the PCSX2 a new Vision by asking every programmer here.... Why not make a OS that emulates Emotion Engine and Processor of PS2? Would that be realisable? Just to see how my Idea would work:
Using the standard Processor and graphics card of the PC but give the PS2 features within PCSX2 the ability to use them in the way the PS2 would, resulting in a real OS without bandit software preventing Games to run at top speed ontop of Windows or Mac, trying to highly improve power of emulation by direct usage of PC components, just as it is done by a real PS2 which consists of a "homebrew DOS" (yeah, maybe wrong title ^^), graphics and CPU components and a cooler.
So why not invent the "PC PS2" ? Or would that be a drastic way of piracy? Or is it just to difficult? Maybe I am just a lunatic by saying this, but it would rarely be a bad way if I think it through. I must say, that I am no crack at programming and just mastered HTML and POVRay, but hey, I am dreaming and this is the spirit of programming ^^
