- YME1280, on 02/11/2009, -1/+48I need this now!
- techobo, on 02/11/2009, -1/+31Having access to something like this would destroy me. Nothing would ever get done.
- Dronez, on 02/11/2009, -0/+18Well I wish them good luck. The already existing emulators which have been developed for years for Dreamcast games and Sony Playstation games etc are nowhere near perfect, this is a monumental task to accomplish.

- EGOvoruhk, on 02/11/2009, -1/+14So it's like MAME, but only for computers? Sweet!
- MattBD, on 02/11/2009, -0/+12I think the copyright on computer games should expire after a much shorter period than they do. Say, about 15 years, possibly 20, or 25 tops. Realistically the only way companies can expect to still make money on games from 1994 now is through compilations (I love Sonic Mega Collection). After this time they should be made public domain.
After all, technology moves on and many of these games simply become unavailable, or the consoles become unavailable. This doesn't happen with books and music so it's reasonable to expect copyright to last longer for them. - a2fan, on 02/11/2009, -2/+13No, it's more like MESS. The site isn't that great, but the project is <dare I say it> awesome. Scroll down the page to see the hundreds of supported machines list.
http://www.mess.org/ - forthex, on 02/11/2009, -1/+10My god, a working Dreamcast and original Xbox emulator... HELL YEAH!!
- Dutchess9, on 02/11/2009, -1/+9Then why did you comment on this WibWobble? You wanted to show your sarcastic prowess?
- bjs3171, on 02/11/2009, -1/+8you are aware it's currently the year 2009, right? games have come a long way since 1989. Emulating any game since then is probably a much bigger feat than any game before then.
- sexybobo, on 02/11/2009, -0/+7MESS needs to work on its GUI. Needs to get something that can be used on a media center. Kinda like how Mame looks.
- Adralemechk, on 02/11/2009, -1/+8That's not true and you know it.
You can make a desktop that can run Crysis on High for less than the price of a macbook.
Matter of fact, I think I might play it right now just to spite you... - sexybobo, on 02/11/2009, -0/+6http://www.dosbox.com/

Have Fun - solid12345, on 02/11/2009, -2/+8Someone better leak this *****
- JMorrison2103, on 02/11/2009, -2/+8A thousand times yes!! Masters of Magic without the 80%CPU usage of DOSBox? Sign me up.
- twodollars, on 02/11/2009, -0/+6So its MAME for everything, sweet
- Ragzouken, on 02/11/2009, -1/+7If they had developed it, the headline would say 'UK University has DEVELOPED a massive games emulator', as it stands it says 'develops', meaning currently developing. 'He develops one at this very moment.'
- JMorrison2103, on 02/11/2009, -0/+6You know when I finally ditched my 486 which had sat unused for 2 or 3 years (and was obsolete 2 or 3 years before that) I said to myself "You know I should just store this thing so I can play all my old games"....
Then the part of me that has since died a merciless death said "Dont worry, they will make them compatible with Windows!!" - KloroFormd, on 02/11/2009, -0/+5"The researchers note that "Britain's National Archive holds the equivalent of 580,000 encyclopaedias of information in file formats no longer commercially available" and add that "research by the British Library suggests Europe loses £2.7bn each year in business value because of difficulties in preserving and accessing old digital files.""
All the more reason to use open standards today. - inactive, on 02/11/2009, -2/+7do you have to tape the green cellophane to your screen for original space invaders?
- ZombieSociety, on 02/11/2009, -0/+5Google.
- whoreable, on 02/12/2009, -0/+5From copies of the games you already own. Duh.
- jaystile, on 02/11/2009, -1/+6Go ahead and laugh at my first PC: a 486 with math co processor bought from Montgomery Wards. But I'm loading up some freaking 'Uncharted Waters' and 'Police Quest'!
- Dronez, on 02/11/2009, -1/+6I believe Rockstar released a few of their older games for free downloading. GTA2 was one of them.
- bjs3171, on 02/11/2009, -0/+5was Crysis made between the 70's and present day?
- HolyChimp, on 02/11/2009, -0/+5I've always felt that if it's not published for a few years it should be made available for free. There are loads of games out there that are simply unavailable through legal means, and if no one's making any money off of it then where's the harm, and maybe it would encourage publishers to make their older games available online through sites like GOG.
- Sean42, on 02/11/2009, -0/+5Beachhead for the C64, Sweet.
- EvilFerret, on 02/12/2009, -0/+4Erm....Crysis is almost 2yrs old now. I could easily build a rig that could run it on high in Vista for around $800 ($600 if I took the extra time to find the best deals). I'm fairly certain when the average consumer buys a brand new computer, they expect to pay a lot more than $600. If that's beyond your budget, it's time to find a new job.
- KingGorilla, on 02/11/2009, -0/+4I know what I'm getting the people in my chemistry class!
- inactive, on 02/11/2009, -1/+5I wish I could digg it twice. Now, where do I get all the ROMs??
- leptonbill, on 02/11/2009, -0/+4They *have* come a long way since 89 but once you hit about 1989 on, you’re looking at the x86 platform as the dominant computing platform, and at the present time applications like vmware, qemu, virtualbox and even dosbox for that matter have a good deal of steam(see development) behind them. And aside from dosbox the majority of the drive behind this development is for the enterprise and as such more and more emulation\virtualization is becomming supported by off the shelf hardware (intel VT or amd-v).
So I don't see this being any more difficult than the MAME/MESS project and if anything it could be easier than both MAME and MESS , as their intent is not only to run but accuratly emulate the hardware. Where as this KEEP project is only to execute code well. - Kenelm, on 02/12/2009, -1/+5But will it run Crysis?
- anexanhume, on 02/11/2009, -1/+5*explodes*
- inactive, on 02/11/2009, -2/+5MESS already emulates practically every computer invented through the 70s and 80s. Is there anything that makes this project special?
- page2, on 02/11/2009, -0/+3This gives me hope for playing Neverhood again! Favorite games you can't play anymore thread here....
- whoreable, on 02/12/2009, -0/+3I am guessing you didn't have a bios or didn't tweak the plugins.
- bitterbug, on 02/12/2009, -0/+3Vic 20 was first here. Then a TRS-80, Coco2, and Coco3, followed by an 8086.
I remember shelling out 300 bucks for a 2400bps modem back then after having used a 300bps that I could out-type. - agentinfinite, on 02/11/2009, -0/+3Now I can finally play my Intellivision games again
- darkheritage, on 02/11/2009, -1/+4This make me kinda happy in pants.
- drunkenoaf, on 02/11/2009, -1/+4Being academics, this should be free.
- inactive, on 02/12/2009, -0/+3It works fine if you have dl a bios rom & have a decent computer. The problem is compatibility. It has too many bugs with too many games to make it an adequate replacement for the console itself, unlike other emulators that are currently available.
- JoeRW, on 02/12/2009, -0/+2Interestingly I found a rather obscure pDosBox (by Wall) for ppc that allowed me to play all the kings quests, space quests, leisure suit larry etc on the pda. This was pretty cool because the emulator emulated high memory as well as soundblaster for the complete experience.
Inexplicably however the developer updated the emulator to make it better but actually ruined it, and the previous versions were no longer available.
Wonder if anyone knows where to get a pocket DosBox with himem and blaster support. Im not sure that ScummVM will do all the sierra titles... - bitterbug, on 02/12/2009, -0/+2Impossible Mission!
Stay a while. Stay.... FOREVER!
Destroy him, my robots. - benologist, on 02/11/2009, -0/+2It probably won't be open source and it probably will carry a bunch of patents as well.
- inactive, on 02/12/2009, -0/+2Well i tried a lot of plugins and stuff...dunno about bios.
- applesd, on 02/12/2009, -0/+2Oh man, I used to play Beachhead on the C64 for hours & hours on end.
- freakFlag, on 02/11/2009, -0/+2You need a 20 Petaflop supercomputer for that
- buckrogers1965, on 02/11/2009, -0/+2I have been using mame for emulating old arcade games for years now. And several different C64 emulators for playing some old great games from that platform. All on a little hand held GP2X.
Elite, mule, barbarian, cauldron II, so many great games on the C64 platform. The graphics weren't perfect like today's games, so they had to make up for that with game play.
The old Infocom games were great in that they were already running in an emulator, even back in the day, using Z-code, so it was strait forward for someone to write a z-code emulator that could play all these old game files and make it cross platform.
I would like to see a law about abandoned games, that 10 years after the original manufacture stops selling the game it becomes public domain.
Great to see someone moving this forward. I would love to someday be able to put in a disk "museum" of old computers and have detailed images, descriptions and great emulators for nearly every old platform. - sei0n, on 02/11/2009, -1/+3I study at this University! Finally a reason to be proud of studying here, though no breakthrough, it's still a fantastic idea.
