[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanaki-seto:
Well the problem is no one is looking at it from the sand point of making a new engine that runs ps2 games and are instead looking at it from a emulating the hardware standpoint. As then it just needs to load the "bios" which is the engine software that makes a ps2 a ps2. Part of the reason it has not been done yet is i suspect legal reasons. Meaning it is reverse engineering software. Where as if you emulate hardware that then loads a bios from your ow ps2 there is no legal issue least of all not for the creators of the emulator. It is why for example the ps1 and ps2 emulators do not include the bios and they state it is illegal to share the bios or to download one.

Now how ever if a engine is wrote from scratch that plays ps2 games or ps3 or ps4 that is not done by reverse engineering the original software that would likely be perfectly legal. Problem is it would also be damn hard to do. The thing i find most amazing about emulation is the potential to make new for example ps1 games that can be played through emulators and possibly on the ps1 it self. Same for ps2. I mean all one needs to do is look at ppsspp (the ps portable emulator) that has a library of indie games to know such things are possible.

Final Fantasy XIII now playable on android and ios in japan. We still waiting for ps2 emulator ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelSutherland113:
the nvidia shield will be a decent mobile gaming platform that will put all tablets to shame.

BUT gamecube or ps2 emulation are not possible on it. There is no ps2 emulator for android, but dolphin did make a android port for gamecube.

BUT both gamecube and ps2 emulation will require atleast a 3.0ghz+ cpu to run at full speed, which i dont see mobile devices getting for awhile (they will probably never get past maybe 2.4ghz ever, but with architecture always being bettered a 2.4ghz in 5 years will be equal to a 3.0ghz now)

So, ya the device will not be able to play gamecube or ps2 emulators. Maybe in 5+ years a newer one will be made and it may be able to handle it.

PSP emulation is pretty demanding atm since its not very optimized yet, so you likely wont be able to play that either. But you should be able to handle DS emulation on it pretty well. And ofcourse n64/ps1 and earlier will be cake.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matslarson:
There are already phones out that outperform the shield, and several devices clocked above 2.4Ghz, not to mention the next round of exynos-based tablets that Samsung will no doubt release shortly. The hardware is coming quickly, the issue is optimizing the software to run on these multicore platforms, which are completely different than the older console architectures.

Thats not true I have an xbox 360 emulator for my android tablet. Its called Xbox 360 Live. It lags but its mainly smooth. And Xbox live automatically becomes free. So whoever says our tablets and smartphones are not powerful enough is wrong. The Xbox 360 only has 512 MB of ram anyways. Also, with this emulator you dont need to download third party ISOs. You download em From the emulator store. Halo reach is very smooth.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgebizkit:
Why would Sega be impossible?

Any way the markets of these old roms have the choice if leaving them as abandonware and allowing pirates to try and emulate them as we can with many 90s console games, or port them and make money off them again. I'm glad to see the latter option utilised by many vendors. GTA, sonic, ff, lots of them are available in app stores. :D

Its up to us to work on ways to get the ones that they don't port hehe I don't feel bad trying to use abandonware (plus I have copies of old Game cartridge and disks so it's not like I'm strealing and I'd still be OK under the grey area law that allows you to have a digital copy of purchased licensed material).

why would you have any problem with something illegal?

I may smoke a joint while playing a game, does it affect you?

I bet you've lent game disks to your friends and borrowed some in your time, technically it's illegal according to the terms in the documentation. I don't have a problem with that.

in most cases of emulation on phones, its done by intelligent people who have an understanding of the position of developers and piracy, and an air of ethicsand won't stoop down to piracy ethically (they will emulatea game they once boaght or send a donation to the dev, buy something else still available by that dev to fund them etc) even if by their countries' law it may be illegal. as long as no one is out of pocket it doesn't bother me in the slightest how much people break the law in this context

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qazibasit:
Well this legality thing is ok. I agree but see what has these copyrights done to the economy. Sony let people steal the psx and ps2 games and see the growth in the video game industry. Now since the games are encrypted and online verified, not many people play the advance titles. Yesterday i read a post that THQ is bankrupt and is going for an auction. Sone other game companies are bidding. Soon all the industry will collapse. Why? Because due to locking the resources they divert the people to other entertainments like internet and smartphone gaming. See the sales of sony and nintendo dipping.

They killed the interest of the people. Now no one is buying those expensive consoles and their titles.

So there are times when piracy to market things was conaidered legal. What are the trial versions for???

Lack of piracy killed video game industry
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chocolina:
What's so hard to imagine about that? They already ported half the GTA's to iOS and Android without an emulator. Even max pain is in there and the massive 3D games don't require the best hardware to even run at 100%

You should be exited about a ps2 emulator to play much better games than San andreas
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgebizkit:
The only time piracy is considered anyway by the majority of folk is when 1)something is not available to buy legally like abandonware (ps2 games for example), unreleased songs, etc, 2)something is outrageously and unfairly priced or monopolised (I still buy ps3 games but I feel they are sold at more than double their value with expensive extra content to boot)(software such as Microsoft office costs as much as a windows operating system but is necessary to open or create most files as per industry standard) (in the day, since music albums were selling for £18-£25 which is outrageous, I still think current prices are a bit much for digital downloads with no tangibility or overhead costs)

The 3) is the minority of people who have no sense of honour and will illegally download anything, but they are in a serious minority.

We have the right to protest anything that we feel is unjust as long as it is a peaceful protest and I would protest against high prices if I really cared that much to pirate it. At my age I am in a position to afford what I want to buy so I don't care but the 16 year old rebel me would rage against the companies :p

Do you know that rock star make a hell of a lot of money from GTA vice city, 3 and Max Payne on mobile? Why? Because they sell for £3.99 and everyone is willing and happy to pay that beautiful price, and more people can buy it and show it to others who can then buy it... Who would pay £40 for it?

I'm not justifying anything and I dont indulge in piracy but these are the reasons why it occurs.

Companies need to respond and react to it not attempt to punish it as well.
