Yea agred A few years ago atempted psx emulation was laugable now its just dificult.And Im not gonna get dream weaver any time soon so could some one give me a good place to start out a web page?
 
Dag Sverre: True. However, the thing about the PS2 catching up. Won't the games for the X-Box similarly improve as the programmers begin to master the X-Box? My understanding is that the X-Box and PS2 are fundementally different in how they operate. The PS2 is, as you said, designed to constantly pump all of its data through its supercharged BUS. The X-Box, on the other hand, is basically one of Bill Gates' PCs except the OS is completely stripped down to provide only the required features for the platform. (Isn't optimization code also added?) Everything else is taken out. Isn't this how they can achieve a quick boot-up time?Sir Canealot: As in html help?

What? It is also done on C++? Guess he's lying again. I think I'll belive cHiBiMaRoKo instead. One more thing about this PS2 is that it is not cost wise and that it will shrink your bank account unless you are really rich like my friend who works at Square. (Here's something very funny, while the guys were testing FFX on PS2, the game's bug made it do something like a virus which thrashed up 2 date, 3 PS2s!. The screenshots were made just before the game crashed!!!) Another secret about GameShark that I found: A code can make PSX to write on a CD ROM. My friend entered the wrong code and the PSX asked him weather he wants format his CD ROM. He says he forgot the code.) Bye!!!!!
 
you know i dont think im gonna anwer that joey. PSX with cd-r capabilities. no youre in cloud koko land  :D
 
If a PSX had CD Writer Capabilities, then you could be in big trouble. The PSX was made to be as user friendly as possible, that's exactly why they make consoles in the first place. Since you can actually open the playstation lid while it's on, you could actually get the laser for burning CD's to hit you right in the face. I don't think Sony would even take such a risk. Honestly, Joey, you are either extremely gullible or you just seem to percieve things in a different way that your friend at Square says.
 
One PS2 development kit cost US 10000. Cheap for a game company like Square and Electronic Arts who raked millions from game sales. But I've heard that Microsoft give X-Box development kit for free to developers.
 
Will I need HTML for a decent web page?
Since It will most likely be a web page naging at square to relece FFIX for the pc
I will need a guest book type thing for people to sign ect ect. That about it. I dont really want to do any thing fancy as a start. Just some information on Final Fantasy IX and the pention its self. Dunno where I will take it from there though.
 
x-box dev kit will simply be directX8/9 SDK on cdrom. and maybe a testing platform.
while psx/ps2 is a complete libary/compilar/tools/platform and licensing tools thus the price.
 
Sir Canealot: You probably will. For things like a guestbook, try a free service. For instance, [url="<a]http://htmlgear.lycos.com/[/url]" TARGET=_blank>http://htmlgear.lycos.com/  I'm not necessarily recommending them, but there's tons of services like theirs around.
 
The proccessor on the PS2 is a lot faster than clock speeds indicate but the X-box will still be a faster console. This is in part due to the X-boxs hardware compression/decompression. Every game has to be decompressed into a memory buffer before it is played ( I think) The X-box uses a hardware compression chip that does not eat up the cpu whereas the ps2 uses a software decompression which eats up the cpu. Also the ps2 has a cpu and two vector graphics units which work together , but the problem is that it is extremely difficult to program all at once some most developers just use 1 vector graphics unit and the cpu the xbox, however,just has one cpu and processor and so is easier to program for. this means that until late in the ps2's life the console is unlikely to fulfil its ful potential. I think the rest of it has already been mentioned.
   Also just for the same reasons the game cube is more powerful than than the ps2 and every bit as powerful as the x box.
 
Actually In order of Clock speed i believe it goes PS2 Game Cube X-BoX.. In a mag i picked up it had hella stats on all the leading ones.
 
Yes but the clock speed doesnt account for anything, its like a 400mh g3 proccesor in an apple has the same speed as a 650mhz p3. Its got extra cache so is speedier. Or for example a 450k6-3 has the equivelent p1 rating of 631mhz.
 
wow...MOT, you are quite wise at those tech stuff... Well, I guess everyone needs to at least learn SOMETHING on tech subjects..
 
The X-box of course is technicaly speaking better than the ps2 and similar to the gamecube, what remains to be seen is whether the x-box will get  many large companies on its side.
I just kinda pick this stuff up, I'm a resevoir for seemingly useless info.
 
Theres 150 publishers/developers that ahve signed up to develop for the X-Box.
Thats quite a few!
 
I just got the emulator and am prietty impressed but I dont really know how to configure it all to run the best on my computer. So any help would be appreciated. If you wanna know my specs they are:
600 Mhz AMD Duron
128 meg ram
800x600 screen
32 meg Vipper 3d graphics card
 
They have the publishers but since they haven't sent out the final developement kits they dont have any 'proper games' yet.
