Since then, a vast array of emulators have entered the scene and some of them are still under development – PCSX-Reloaded for instance. Released back in 1994, the first model of the PlayStation series has been emulated for the first time in 1999, was called Bleem! and had a two-year lifespan. PlayStation 2 takes first place with more the 150 million units while its predecessor sold more than 100 million units. Video game console manufacturers have sold hundreds of millions of units to date, with Sony topping the chart with their first two PlayStation console models. In addition, ROM hackers can also apply new technology to the system, adding capabilities such as HD resolutions, anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, audio interpolation and even multiplayer modules and save states. Put in the right hands, emulators can successfully help the programmers to perform foreign games translations, bug fixes found in original games or updates of rosters in older games. While their use can be illegal, emulators are not meant to encourage piracy.
This way, you can enjoy games that normally don't run on other systems but the ones they are developed for.
Console emulators bring the features of video game console such as PlayStation, Xbox, Sega or Nintendo to your PC.
