==Legality of emulation== | ==Legality of emulation== | ||
− | + | Mainly as a result of two United States landmark cases, it is considered legal to reverse engineer and emulate any system. More specifically, there were rulings which allowed commercial emulators to profit. Two commercial [[Playstation]] emulators: [[wikipedia:Bleem!|Bleem]] and [[wikipedia:Connectix_Virtual_Game_Station|Connectix Virtual Game Station]] allowed the ability to play ps1 games on pc, something Sony didn't like the sound of, and were sued by Sony around the early 2000's. The results led to modern legal standards regarding emulation as of today. <!--need fact check/source--> | |
