Virtual machines also fall under emulation.

Aww yeah, playing DOS games on my virtualized Win3.11 instance :frogc00l:

No, connecting to official Wii online services is a bit different.
[QUOTE=Nr Dick;29962418]Virtual machines also fall under emulation.[/QUOTE]
If you mean x86 virtual machines you are wrong.
It's virtualization, not emulation.
Emulation creates 2 layers, one for indirection and one for translation for the host hardware.
With Virtualization, the guest machine is mearly isolated in memory and the instructions then passed on to the hardware with no translation.
You are only right if you are talking about PPC or ARM VMs on x86 or ARM or x86 on PPC, etc.
[QUOTE=BlkDucky;29954003]The Wii can be emulated amazingly well, especially for a current-gen console.[/QUOTE]
I would barely call it current-gen.
It's more like an updated last-gen console.

Who really cares, though? I've had as much fun playing Wii as I have on the other consoles. MH Tri and Brawl.
[QUOTE=ViciousRaptor;29948364]I think you can, providing you can prove you own the original.
Also, I'm rather curious about one particular issue. I own the GBA port of Super Mario Bros, but not the NES cart. Does that mean if I downloaded the NES ROM and played it, that would be okay?[/QUOTE]
Technically it is still illegal if you own the game and download another copy of it.
Like walking into a car dealership and picking up another car for free because you already own one. Its the fact there is two distinct versions of the intellectual property you would have in your possession.
Edit:
Please take note the TECHNICALLY bit, I have never ever heard of it being enforced ever, but as far as intellectual property licensing laws go, you are not allowed to reproduce the IP into multiple copies (unless you can prove they are for backups). Again though, hardly enforceable, and again, have never heard of it being enforced, I am just highlighting the technicality of it.

It's not like the cops are going to storm into your house because you downloaded a Pokemon Blue ROM online that has a physical value of less than £1.

It's still unlawful.

There's lots of retarded laws in this world that desperately need a major overhaul so they'll make sense now, and in the future.
I've been using PCSX2 to play my copy of Timesplitters: Future Perfect recently as my younger brother still won't return my PS2 controllers. Other than the occasional graphical glitch and the hot, hot CPU on emulated CPU action causing a 68C temp, it runs fairly well.
Might look at using a Wii emulator at some point, I'd really need a sensor bar for it to work with any games I own though :v:
About when do you guys expect that we'll start seeing 360 and ps3 emulators?
[QUOTE=koeniginator;29967016]About when do you guys expect that we'll start seeing 360 and ps3 emulators?[/QUOTE]
ages
5+ years and thats very optimistic.
There is one guy that took interest in making 360 emu, but I don't know anyone else trying it.

I am honestly not surprised, because consoles nowadays are getting more complicated.
Is PCSX2 the best PS2 emulator? I was playing FFX again with it a while ago, but it was plagued with bugs and glitches.
PCSX2 is the only PS2 emulator that runs commercial PS2 games so I'd say it's best. As for FFX you should download latest version and it should be alright. AFAIK it is one of PS2 games that has low requirements.
I want to play God of War 1 on my PC so bad. :smith:
I don't bother with emulators mainly because I already have the hardware. :smug:
I would agree though that the original NO$GMB emulator [url=http://nocash.emubase.de/gmb.htm](here)[/url] is pretty cool. It's ancient to today's standards but the minimum requirements are for an XT/AT (286) system running DOS so I can play Pokemon on my Compaq Portable 386's amber gas plasma display.

He most likely owns that. MSX is almost exclusively European/Japanese.

Wow, look at the detail in some of those textures, you'd never see that level of detail when playing on the actual Wii because of the SD res
just so you know guys, you can get last gen consoles piss cheap nowadays.
