i doubt were ever going to see emulation for consoles after the ps1, N64 etc,

with the ps2, dreamcast etc and anything after that people just dont have the time to do it, you have to remember the people that code these emulators do so of their own free will and with the incredibly complex way consoles are getting it's just not going to happen anymore.

plus who cares aout emulating a dreamcast or a ps2 when you can just play snes all day laugh.gif

In theory a xbox 360 should be able to run ps2 emulation. xbox 360 is what 10 times more powerful then the ps2?

Thats exactly right. So what if the Xbox is 10 times faster in CPU speed then the PS2. When you emulate something you suck up resources to not only emulate the CPU but the Graphics card, and all other hardware in the machine.

Then to get it to run stable with smooth FPS needs tons of code optimization.

So basically if you wanted a PS2 emulator you would need the 360 to be about 50x faster, and a team of dedicated coders, coding a machine thats hardware isn't all that well known taking probably a year or so.

yeah but surely a console emulator will run better than a windows version due to it being without a windows layer using background tasks and hogging ram. with a console, should be able to dedicate more memory to the task, but yes im totally with you, the xbox 360 will never emulate a ps3, and a dreamcast is very doubtful still, although a dc emulator would be sweet as fook
