Why didn't anyone tell me the PS1 had been emulated??

I just found out and I'm kinda surprised I didn't hear about this before. I'm using ePSXe, and it can play the games from the CD or use iso's. That's pretty nice because I can play all my old games without having to go on an archeological dig to try and remember where they were entombed. The graphics look primitive as hell, even with slightly cleaned up visuals. But it's still a pretty sweet blast from the past to be able to check out all my old fav's like Twisted Metal 1 and 2, Warhawk, FF 7, 8 and 9 (maybe now I'll actually finish 8), Vagrant Story, the Resident Evil games, Castlevania SOTN,  MGS1, ect. I'm going to have to clear some space on my hard drive.

Meh, I just use my PS3.

um...yeah its been emulated for years now. and its better then what the ps2 and ps3 are capable of...specially the ps3 its Ps1 bc is atrocious.

Cause we all assumed you knew!

I've dabbled a bit in PS2 emulation, that actually runs pretty well on my machine. Also Wii/Gamecube emulation has taken pretty far strides in recent years. 
 
Yeah, uhm. Welcome to the party? Better late than never :P

• Vagrant Story- Sound issues and graphic probs
• FF8 and FF9 fight menus don't appear
• FF7 works great I completed it on my modded Xbox which was made less of a chore with that fast forward button.
• MGS1 is plain useless on the emulator
• Xenogears-cutscenes don't work

Dude, pretty much everything has been emulated. Even the PS2 and Wii!

How did you not know? The PS2 is emulated. So is the Wii.

Bleem! yo, that shit is mad old.  At one time they even had Bleemcast! where you could play PS1 games on the Dreamcast, MADNESS!

This reminds me of the time when Quagmire of Family Guy discovered internet pornography.

dude, how else would anyone play persona 2: innocent sin?

ps1 has been emulated for the better part of 12 years, ps2, wii, dreamcast and gamecube emulators pretty much wont crash if you have the pc for it.

I'm playing through Persona 4 on a PS2 emulator. Pretty awesome game. I wouldn't mind trying to emulate the new Policenauts fan-translation, I wanna see other games from Kojima basically. 
 
Also yeah I assumed everyone knew about PS1 emulation, been around for a while, though I like N64 better.

this is old news. a lot of things have been emulated. the wii is emulated, i looked at it but the requirements were high for my computer. i didn't download it.

I emulated a person once.

It was pretty much the deciding factor for me to purchase a PSP, years ago. The allure was playing PS1 classics on a portable.
