Have they discussed any button-mapping options menu for VC games? Without a select button on the cube controller, the consequences could be disastrous.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Sony doesn't hold the rights to any 3rd party games which appeared on their consoles (which was most of them).


wow, do you have a link? not that I don't believe you but I want to see it for myself, the reason is not that sony owns the games, because the clearly don't, but to run a ps game you have to emulate the console, and the legality of that is a bit blurry, even though apparently PC emulators are off the hook (not the roms, just the program), going into a commercial mainstream application makes things different, Ive read this was one of the limiting factors of emulating playstation games in the VC.

They may not have to emulate playstation hardware to plat PS games though.

It could be ported pretty quickly and cheaply I imagine if they weren't changing anything in game just making it work on Wii hardware. That would negate any legality problems with emulating playstation hardware. I presume this is what is happening to get Castlevania on Live Arcade so it shud be equally possible to do this on Wii I think.

I'm just pretty sure that it would be illegal to emulate Sony's hardware. Any thoughts?

Can't think of any original PS games I really want to play though again though.

I am pretty sure it is not illegal to emulate Playstation games because although Bleem! was sued I'm pretty sure they won.  They even released an emulator for the dreamcast.

I bought a ps1 again about 3 years ago just to pick up all the old rpgs I missed when I originally had it.  Sprite based games age well!

It would be the same when playing GB(A) games with the GBP.  The select button was like the z button or something.  I don't remember exactly.
