I changed my bog standard telly for a flatscreen. Not a problem you'd think...
Well it doesn't support the video mode that PS1 games use, they end up really flickery and unplayable. No more FF7-FF9, waaaaaah!
Breaks my heart

Down the street, not across it
Please don't teach people how to "do it right"
Me and my kids have dragon eggs:
It is illegal, but I would suggest a SONY Playstation emulator for the PC. Why the hell doesn't SONY release one, like BLEEM! only legal and free. It would be some relatively easy revenue for the struggling conglomerate.Originally Posted by Cloudane
AmenPlease don't teach people how to "do it right"I see the joke, but yeah. I agree.
If anyone is stupid enough to follow such instructions off a thread on a board about a fictional game series on the internet, they...
anyway.
Actually emulators are legal I believe, so long as you rip the ROM off your own PS (and not download it). It's just not the same though, I've never seen the PAL version of FF7 working 100% perfectly on an emulator. Better than nothing I suppose...
using an emulator and rom is perfectly legal as long as you own the game and platform.
kthxbye
Too big. <-- yeah i heard that one before
Acually, as long as you own the copy of the game and the bios of the console :rolleyes2
Nope, they are still illegal. The terms of use always have a clause against duplicating the data on the disk/hardware in any shape or form. It is also illegal to back up DVD movies you own, or musical CDs you own. This is the effect of numerous judgments held up by the supreme court of 1997, I believe.
( I think the same law upholds in most countries that enforce international copyright)
morals > legality
Sony is no longer making money off of the PS1, so I would go for it.

Exactly as I said.ePSXe also requires the use of a BIOS file dumped from a PlayStation. This is to avoid a legal problem, as it is copyright infringement to provide the Sony's BIOS for download, and unlike some other emulators, ePSXe cannot high-level emulate the BIOS. Technically, the only legal way to use ePSXe is to dump the BIOS from a PlayStation you own.
Whether the recent DMCA law changes things is another matter...
Copying the disc itself isn't an issue - emulators will generally play directly from the original.
am i missing something here? get a ps2! i probably sound incredibly stupid because i may have missed something...but that's the obvious solution, why, i have a ps2 and just beat FF7 again the other day, i effin' love that game. BTW: i fully support emulators
I would love to see you explain how releasing a free emulator would make money.
Anyway, I find it odd that your TV wouldn't support the video signal from your PSX. I mean I would think pretty much any TV has to accept a standard definition signal like that. First thing to check would be that you have the TV setup properly. Actually, the first thing to check would probably be that it's on the right channel/video mode. Is there anything else you can tell us, like how you're connecting it to the TV?
If nothing works then you may have to get a PS2 or something. Not a bad idea really given the numerous amazing titles you're missing out on if you don't already have one.
Both the PS1 and PS2 have the same video output for PS1 games. Trust me I've tried 1) The PS2 (tried this first of course), 2) A PSone and 3) An original grey PSX. I've also tried both Scart and composite (Yellow/Red/White). Ain't no getting offa this train...
