Looks like indie developers are better than Sony and Sega. PlayStation games are being emulated on Steam, BIOS and all. Looks like they are doing the whole "Come at me, bro" way of doing things which actually gets shit done, and I applaud them for it.

Wish GOG would start selling PS1 games on here especially jrpgs

This seems highly unusual. The trailers on their pages are from other, random YouTube users. 'Their' Twitter feed is actually Kotaku's. Not one page mentions legal ownership, trademark, registration, or anything else that should be associated with the company, the games, or the brands like, for example, Lucky Luke. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be able to buy Mass Destruction and D, but considering how unprofessional the website is, I find it very surprising that they were able to untangle all the legal knots needed to put up emulated PSX games on Steam. In fact, a lot of those games have PC versions, so I wonder if they really would be able to release some of those games even though they already have PC publishers with digital versions, like for KKND Extreme.
A quick trademark search shows that the company is based in the Virgin Islands. =\

Is this even legal?
Posted June 30, 2015
Oh shit, Tatsunoko Fight? Sold!

It probably is legal (at least in the U.S.), which is why the selection of games is what it is. Actually, I'm fairly impressed that they managed to put in Steam achievements, considering it's an old emulated PSX game.

It seems like these guys are based in Europe and have deals with companies such as Takara and others.

Because porting games are too mainstream.

Interesting, but usually those officially emulated games have absolutely awful emulation quality that pales in comparison to any of the emulators already out there in the market.

Why don't they just make a deal with emulator developers so that they may use the emulator on their official release? It's so much better developed.

Also, if they are using the psx bios, I wonder if they got the rights for it.

Interesting... Never thought I would see emulated console games getting sold.
Well since they are doing emulated console games, I hope decide to do PS2 games (Ratchet and Clank!)

(C) SCE means that won't happen. Only 3rd party titles.

Also, the Super Nintendo version of Rock n' Roll Racing is available on Blizzard's Battle.net, and it is a ZSNES executable.

I was excited for Ten Pin Alley before the rest of them. Did anyone else love that game? :D

It's not the full game though, but merely a free demo, which is why Blizzard was probably able to make it available.
