M0T · « **Reply #8 on:** 2001-12-17 21:35:00 »

Next on Futility Watch:
Making emulators for OS's whose users will never use them. The Grinch Project, PS2 emu for MAC! :laugh:

PurpleSmurf · « **Reply #11 on:** 2001-12-17 22:05:00 »

please tell me your kidding. the MAC? the mac shouldn't even have games made for it

Darkness · « **Reply #12 on:** 2001-12-17 22:07:00 »

on the contrary. it would run better on a mac. macs run much more efficiently then PCs from what I can tell. the reason that the guy chose to make it on mac is because it has less background programs.

Start up Windows, but prevent any background programs from loading, using MSConfig, or an equivalent. Guess what? Practically no background programs. Not that it makes a difference, when you've got >64MB of RAM, and we all do. Don't we?

Nowadays the Mac really doesn't have many advantages over the PC - and speed is *not* one of them. At all.

hmm im thinkin fice, but im not sure.

I know there are PS2 emulators, the hardest requirement for them, though, is the fact that they require a DVD-ROM drive. I'd look for an emu, but I don't have a DVD-ROM drive in my system...

PowerPC chips rule x86 though. The Mac in general is decent for multimedia, but games are rare.

An example of good PowerPC usage is the Gamecube

Darkness · « **Reply #18 on:** 2001-12-18 03:46:00 »

just like a good use for the x86 is the xbox.

I heard that PS2 emulation wasn't possible, but they also said that with N64.

Apple is actually a good choice for multimedia and 3D graphics, because it's processor is designed in a way that it processes graphics faster. A guy who I had a class with told me that he was a advertisement designer for a movie company. He says that all his co-workers use Imacs for doing the advertisements. The movie industry uses Apple a lot for 3D graphics in the movies.

let's ditch the emu-app, time for emu-os for PC! :isee:

You mean like VMware or WINE?

By the way, that new version of VMware sucks (VMware workstation 3.0).

PS2 emulation is *possible*, but much much harder than anything else done in emulation until now. The hardware between a PC and a PS2 is just so different....PC relies on much memory on the gfx card, while PS2 only have 4MB of memory but has a totally awesome bus that can push through all the textures and geometry needed. If you see a PS2 emulator sometime, it's because the bus (or the on-card hardware) has improved so much on the PC, because right now nothing in programming could make it happen.

This has all been discussed here before somewhere. Good luck finding it though, just saying this because it will probably explain the techies lack of interest in this topic (it might even be deleted as it was about a year ago I think...around the PS2 release date)

I will refrain from commenting about PurpleSmurf not thinking there's anything wrong with another Joey on the board.
