PS1 Games On Your Wii

PS1 Games On Your Wii

Is it really possibly to play PS1 games on your Wii?
It is a work in progress for the Homebrew Community, it might take a while, but it would be worth it!
If one day this really happens, you, yes you will be able to download over 8000 classic PS1 games and play them on the Wii.
Now they have to work out a few bugs, and the sound still needs to be implemented, but there going pretty good so far.

Check out this video to see it!

This will be very good indeed, I just hope that they add CD Support, so we dont have to download games, because thats lame, would very much prefer just using my old PS1 games.

Will be waiting for a full release!

Good idea, but in later games (like Ape Escape) they made analog sticks you can click. the classic controller sticks cant be clicked.So we'll miss out on a lot.

There's nothing wrong with saying yay.

Calling everyone stupid on the other hand is only acceptable in some circumstances. Not these ones.

No.

What this is saying is that if you install an illegal application on your wii you will be able to illegally download and play PS games on your wii.

This is not a partnership between Nintendo and Sony.

The application itself isnt illegal, its just allowing it to read back ups of games from an SD card. Whats illegal is obtaining those back ups if you dont already own the game.

By making this application, they havent broken any laws, but are sort of convincing people to break them in order to use their application.

I mainyl want this to have CDROM support so I dont have to download games I already own and play them in the wii.

So until that happens, I probably wont be getting this application.

If we needed Nintendos approval to do what we wanted with their console, we wouldnt have Homebrew, or be aloud to smash it like that idiot did once *gets angry at the thought of that monstertard breaking the wii!*

To sum up...Nintendo doesnt want this on their console most likely, but there is nothing they can do to stop it, well exscept those damn updates.

OMG stop your crying If you don't agree with it then don't use it.... geez no one is twisting your arm to do it....

greenbob said: This is illegal and shouldnt be news.

Yeh and its illegal to have wii pirated games, downloaded movies, copied dvds, ISO's of psp games, games downloaded onto you DS.... (im sure you have one of these) so if i were u i'd look at myself before i stop pointing fingers....

I love it how people like these two start crying over things like this when on the other hand..... they themselves are doing illegal activities which they don't really tell us about lol

Stop crying and go spend $100 on a wii game

The forum rules clearly state that no posts advocating illegal activity will be allowed.

Look at all the confusion below about people thinking Nintendo and Sony have gone into business. They dont realise this isnt legit news, its news reporting on an illegal device.

I just think its unfair my news article was deleted where as this one makes front page, and even an admin posts in it

No that is plain just crying..... you don't need to tell us you hate all of this... most of us (if not all) don't really want to know or care for that matter

@ greenbob.... there is no confusion.... stupid people just don't read It clearly states there... It is a work in progress for the Homebrew Community, if people reading this miss "that" and think it's made by Nintendo.... then they are just lame noobz
