PSone Emulator "leak" fake?

Posted Apr 5, 2006 at 3:04PM by QJ Staff Listed in: News, Reviews, Rumors Tags:
Ó




One of our readers, Sk8kidK, was troubled by the recent PSone Emulator pics and the matching wavy lines and decided to do some research. He searched Google image for "PSP Background" and got a picture of the Wavy lines and background in which he then overlapped the two images provided on QJ.Net with the image he found on Google. The background/lines were, as he put it, "ALL THE SAME". Are the PSone Emulator pics we received today fake? Only time will tell, but is is troubling to see that the lines are in the exact same position as the picture he searched for on Google.

notice the spaces in each game title,FINAL FANTASY IV and QUAKE 2 aremore closer to the titles than the oters,it seems he wrote each game title 1 by 1 and then try to allign them,but the in these titles are diferent.

Also notice the playstation logo on corner,did you think SONY will put that in the browser?and the date and battery indicator,in a browser?

You have to realise that they have shown that the background can be changed, so they may have chosen the wavy lines possibly off google also.



This is clearly not a finished product yet, and those might be the first and or only games being offered right now. The alphabetical order might come later.



This could be a fake, but for all of you people out there who see something like this and automatically say "Its fake, I know it," with nothing to back that up but "I know," don't bother posting. It just makes us think that you are an ignorant person who has no real opinion.

The spacing is fine. Try editing your font on the PSP. The only thing that really stuck out to me was that they didn't put the size of the file on the memory stick. That definately seems out of character for Sony, but again this is not a final release, and I hope that Sony does not overlook this. I will be interviewing some Sony officials soon and this will definately come up. Check PSPHacks for the article!

» Key Errors

If Sony were really going to make this happen, they would have included a screen shot/slideshow along with the game description (like the one you see within the psp main menu after allowing the game to load).



Second, the downloads gradient text on the side is totally uncharacteristi c of any style that the psp has, but fits perfectly with a photoshop doctor.



Also, the alphabetical list at the top with the new headers doesn't fit in either. Sony would probably go about the selection the way cell phone companies do: make the new and most expensive releases near the top of the list and subdivide them into genre categories.



Just look at the image reference:

Its a good pic but clearly a fake. The 16th day, well the 6 in that is clearly a different font than any other psp. That to me just spells it out, also, if it were in game menu mode, the controller icon would not be visable, also there would not be as much clutter in info on the screen. The Game Downloads, going down the left side of the screen, PUH-LEASE!!! Short and sweet is Sony's Style...............

» OMG........ how COULD you believe that

Just in case nobody noticed, I would like to point out that it's just the screen in those pics. That means that the person taking the photo either had a REALLY steady hand and some EXTREMELY good photography skills, or it's a layered photo. It's common sense. Though it seems most people didn't believe it but if you did, there are some very obvious flaws with the counterfiet pic and you should probably actually think about what it is you're looking at. Plus, if this was a leak, it would have to be on 3.0 [ it is possible to get, 3.0 Gold (beta) ] and if this if I had it, I would be showing off more than just the emu browser. Just me.

Heck, anyone who gets amazed by these type of fakes that keep coming out deserves three licks off a tootsie roll!

Sony probably doesn't even have the PS1 emulator for the upgrade yet...Do you know how much time it will take them to get the approval from every single game company to be able to release code for every single game? Not only that, but knowing how sneaky SONY has been with their constant firmware updates for PSP, they're probably cooking up that emulator in a whole new file format that nobody can extract or rip for piracy....Doesn't anybody think about these things?

If this is a fake pic produced by someone as a joke to get atention for the site they have done very well as look at all of the posts that you have all done.



If it is a crapy joke done by some noob they have got what they wanted attention.



If it is real then there is going to be lots of fun with old games and people are going to put them on bit torrent so we could get them for free



I personaly hope that it is a sony workers atempt at making something look real, but if it isnt then it is an evil prank for hard working gamers. lol
