I couldn't agree with you more.
chances are if you didn't have an emulator before napster came out. you really don't know how emulations works. because emulators back then... hahah highly experimental phases.
I remember the battles of what's better. snes9x or Zsnes, so many people prazed the snes9x for it was open source and allowed anyone who knew anything about programing to help. and others would state zsnes was better because it had a simple gui, that was simple to understand and alter things with out having to look up stuff like -b in complicated dos commands.
being that there is hardly an emulator for the ps2 that hardly any computer can run. I'd say we'd have a good long time till the emulation of a ps3. and by that I mean one that just for the non commercial support. I'd give it another couple years before the first Commercial support. and when it does happen it will be very glitchey and slow.
I think honestly... the chances of a mod chip or software mod, would have a greater chance of coming out first. before a fully comercial running emulator comes out with next to no glitches... I mean it took till the N64 came out before a propper SNES emulator came out then again the GBA and PSX got emulators faster than I've ever witnessed in the emulation scene. I think it just matters on the systems and the coders and how much somebody knows. plus one would have to think about how computers were back in the day vs how they are now. most computers back in the days of when the snes emulators where just being made couldn't support transparencies. I remember playing chrono trigger, and when i got to the futur where there is a transparant cloud that fogs over everything. you couldn't see anything because it wasn't transparent....
what was I talking about again? hmmmm oh yeah. it will be at least 4 years (I predict) before we have a somewhat good commercial ps3 emulator.
