Cyraxpt: Is this even legal?
Unless they have the permission from the devs or they are the devs in some way then it's very,very illegal.

Fever_Discordia: The original Panzer Dragoon? There WAS a PC version
http://www.mobygames.com/game/panzer-dragoon
Although I could never get it working, even on XP...
I got it working without a problem and any extra effort besides installing. I just can't remember if it was on my desktop (win 7) or laptop (win 8), though I'm more inclined to think it was on the Desktop.

This is quite a helpful resource.

rtcvb32: Actually as a note, i'm sorta hoping someone will make a PCI card that includes a bunch of older chips so we can pass emulation software through the real processors, which would greatly simplify and speed up a bunch of this stuff instead of being all software.
There are some hardware emulators using FPGAs that come close to your idea, for example MIST

vicklemos: *Panzer Dragoon Saga :P
And yep, I'm a huge fan of the MSR game and the 1st Project Gotham on xbox. Didn't play the later ones, actually.
What I meant was that we need something like the Wii Virtual Console (MD/SMS/SNES/NES/arcade/Turbografx/C64) on the pc, but with Saturn and DC. Not remakes or enhanced ones - much like the Ikaruga port/Radiant Silvergun/Sonic Adventures and so on -, but instead good ol' emulation, just as seen on the Steam N20 game! :P

Fever_Discordia: Can emulators even run DC a descent speeds though? I'm imaging an entire bunch of Steam kids moaning that old games don't run smoothly on their relatively new PCs and complaining that they're 'not optimised' or whatever...
They absolutely can. Nowadays dc emulators are fantastic and varied, too. Several options out there, naomi emulation etc.
This video is 2,5 years old and shows how great games run.
Not on linux, though, since the lxdream emulator is old, probably got discontinued, and buggy.

Sort of what i was thinking of. I wasn't thinking so much a system-on-a-chip, rather just the most complex parts of the system that are difficult (or impossible) to emulate, and with an API to pass to the host system for ram and make calls to the video card. I'd see the Emotion Engine, the Gamecube/Wii CPU's, maybe a cell processor for experimentation. Just the way i see it, an emulator aware of the chip would simply make the calls and forwarding to the CPU's on the board, and deal with other emulation as necessary like audio/midi.

And with cases like the Cell processor, if it had a chance to really get experimented with perhaps the scientific community would use it, or drivers to offload jobs it could handle from the OS.

they're using a GPL-licensed emulator and not giving credit or pointing to sourcecodes. these scumbags should get shut down. i swear this kinda shit never ends.

SCPM: 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.
hmmm.. so steam is technically a piracy website now? that is highly ironical.

There's been a few cases of other people putting up games that don't belong to them because 'they wanted it on steam'... Like Cartoon Fighters.

BranjoHello: Cool beans...good news for people who don't want/know to use emulators.
that's true i agree with that because i try to use emulator and it is not that easy and sometimes not that stable too
for some games

I hope this is a legal company selling games it's acquired the rights to, because I'd love to replay Koudelka and D.

darthspudius: You're on GOG and you're complaining about emulation. Dosbox, Scummvm do a good job of that on a lot of this websites games.
The emulation talked about was console emulation, son. Dos emulation and pc engine emulation is another thing. Plus this DESERVES payment, because getting all those old and difficult software to run in modern systems, are nothing sort of a miracle. Console emulation should be and remain FREE.

Please don't misunderstand and don't twist my words. And yeah, on gog i buy stuff. ALWAYS.
