Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed by this review, I know this is super old work by you. But you said nothing about how these guys started off with an emulator with the Sony bios ripped straight from the ps1 that they tried to sell the software to sony, but when they got rejected they had to reverse engineer the whole bios themselves, so that they weren't using Sony's -Bios- which is why al emulators ask you to provide a bios, as that's the illegal part of an emulator.
They reverse engineered the bios! No one does that period.

I had the virtual game station, it took me and my dad a while to get it working correctly but once we did and once we got a controller that was pretty much a ps1 controller we were in business lol I played final fantasy 7, gta 2, wwf smackdown 1 and 2, it was fantastic. Also non of my buddies believed I cod play Playstation games on my PC so I would bet them a few dollars or I would say hey if I end up being able to you have to buy me a Playstation game lol it was so much fun

I remember my dad bringing this home from his overseas workplace. It was late 2001 (the PS2 already existed) and I never got to own a PlayStation console. So when I saw the box, I was very excited to try it out only to find out that my dad lost the disc. He promised that he-ll try to find it and bring it home next time. My mom and dad got separated a few months after, he never went back home to us and I never got to see and try out the disc.

It-s BS how someone so talented gets treated like crap and has their work sabotaged by a greedy business. I get why Sony would have been concerned about Bleem-s development, they filed bogus lawsuits just to try and run his business into the ground, and thing is, it worked. We-re lucky to have people take personal time and effort to make these emulators and distribute them for free in today-s times.

I remember Bleem, but it was without copy protection, and in a single 3, 5'' floppy! Maybe it was a beta version, still buggy as hell. Bought (pirated XD) for the equivalent of 15 $ (I'm italian) around 1999 if I remember well. I just wanted to play Silent Hill, as my parents totaly refused to buy me a PSX. Needless to say, that was maybe the only game that totally won't work on Bleem! XD What a mess.

I used Bleem! back in the day and for me it worked great. It was my favorite at the time and games looked fantastic, but I think I just played GT. Then one day, it stopped working, like the EXE was no longer valid. I thought it was a corruption, but none of my backups worked, even ones burned on to CDs. Even today downloading it I still have the same issue, it just won't run.

aThis is a random question I hope someone here maybe can answer - How come back in the PS1/N64 era, we had emulators coming out that could emulate current gen consoles (Bleem, UltraHLE, why did it seem to slow down after that? Like PS2 emulation didn't become viable until years after the PS2 was current, and PS3 emulation is still well beyond what my current computer can handle.

Sony trying so hard to put them out of business kinda disproves the notion that these companies sell their consoles at a loss and only really care about software sales. If that were the case they wouldn't of cared about Bleem! because you had to have the actual disc in order to use it which means Sony still would make money but they cared about losing hardware sales.
