Also, PlayStation is popular among tech-saavy kids because the games are easily copied. You have just put your finger on why Sony is gonna have to sue Connectix over this thing. Unless i'm mistaken, the copy protection scheme of the playstation is implemented in a hardware sensor that reads an optical(not software) code from the disk. This is why the Sony consoles must have their hardware modified to play copied games. But the emulator will not have anyway of verifying this copy protection scheme because standard CD drives lack this sensor. Using pirate games will be possible for people who were otherwise to scared or not skilled enough to perform the modification. One way or another, as long as Sony makes a USB controller You can be sure it wont be sony!! But someone will. Jon Bird
