I think its real, but how do you know thats not just a video he's playing? doesnt show you him using the controller and the corosponding movements on screen...

As a learning Java Programmer, I can tell you that everything is possible with Java! Even 3d Games.

Can Java come and clean my car for me then?

With the OtherOS feature and BD-J(unknowingly of course), Sony has successfully developed a homebrew-compatible console without being in jeopardy of pirating. (BD-ROM based games anyway)



Then again, there's always the problem of PSN downloadable games being cracked.

Hell Yeahhhhhh!!

this the only PS3 homebrew without sound or are most like it? Awesome job though.... keep up the good work! is an SNES EMU possible....... is there anything that I can do to help?

"Red" Goes Back To The Filer By The Way

Why don't you just download it and try it? Seriously.

Wow,this is cool.And its just the start,too bad no sound,but im sure it will happen soon. Also note that the dpad only works in 4 way direction and not 8 way. So if your playing something like contra you cant aim diagonaly up or down,only left right up and down.Hope they fix that too.

I noticed the screen is cut off just a little bit. Its a little annoying but oh well at least the thing works. Heres hoping for sound in the future.

well i guess the programs have to be re-written or so to run according to what its running on. plus controls would have to be mapped anyway...

this is awesome!!! the only problem i had had nothing to do with the actual emulator, i was searching for ROMs and it took a very long time because i guess quite recently ESA has cracked down on most of the ROM sites! so good luck finding ROMs, it's not easy.

one word, Usenet!

Actually, this may very well be the limit of what can be done. Look at how it's implemented: the "popup menu" button, Square, and the confirm button, X, are the only buttons that can be translated into input. Unless keyboards get support in BD-J, more buttons are going to be assigned to 3-0 on the keypad. This environment is designed for interactive elements of movies, not software or games.



As for sound, I'm a bit curious as to how it will be implemented. My guess is a cache file generated by the java code, then streamed as the sound for the current "scene." Somebody should just do a PS3 Linux distro for the homebrew community, developing this sort of software on that instead.

oh kk thnx for answering...and not being a jerk about it

Over $1000 in nextgen games, over $700 is a PS3 and accessories, over $2000 in HDTV and home theather... play your favorite NES games (even without sound) in a BDJ emulator is price less... There are somethings money can’t buy, For everything else there's Mastercard.

Its Great but do u think we'll eventually get a better version with sound and everything else working? and possibly be able to save it on to the ps3 itself?

I downloaded this and got it all up and running started mario but have no control over game and can't even start it, this happens for all my new games, what a crock.

I agree with aldostoolscom, you sepnd a small fortune on getting a PS3 then want to play crappy old nes games, wtf is wrong with us.

While emulators are indeed really nice applications, what I long for is a decent screenshot application, without decompression and with nice navigational tools with it.



Any Java coder out there who is up to the challenge?
