This has been brought up a few times, and the main problem that comes with this is bandwidth running PSX games entails. You have to understand that some of the games for the PSX have file sizes from 500MB, to exceeding 1GB - The closest thing currently hosted are N64, and those are a few couple hundred MB at most. You get enough people playing PSX games, and the whole server will crash because of the strain. It's just not feasible in the near future.

silverthundr : a FEW times? That 's an understatement

Because I know what adding those games to the site would do, I vote no.

As to your question about downloading, the answer is no. The fact that you cannot download the games here is the loophole that keeps Vizzed safe from any copyright laws. Allowing you to download them is no different than letting you download music without the artists permission. You could actually get fined a LOT of money if you authorities caught you with downloaded ROMs of copyrighted games on your computer. If you really want to download PS1 games though, you can go to the site David co-owns with Jigsaw, which is get-your-rom.com. You do have to pay for a membership to download though.

Although this is the general forum, this would probably be better off going into the suggestions forum, as you would be more likely to get more replies. And as previously stated, it's an issue that has been addressed, so it would still be unlikely to get many replies even then.

Just a thought that I want to throw out, however. What if the iso's were compressed and stored on a server separate from vizzed? The files could be decompressed and fed to the main server upon a user's attempt to play. It would still be costly, but would be a solution to user and bandwidth overload.

GuardianZack : That is an option but cost is the factor there. It would cost a lot just to add the emulator on there, and the added monthly cost of having those separate servers would be worse. Given that David just had his second kid and just purchased a house, and then the fact that there are plenty of months where more money goes into this site from David's pocket than he actually makes, that makes it even harder for him. But that isn't even the biggest concern David has. He has mentioned that Sony tends to have a stick up their rear about having their games on sites. All it would take is to piss off one company for it to cause trouble with others. It would just draw too much unwanted attention.

I voted no just because it's not feasible to add any of the PS1 emulators to the RGR.
The others have mentioned why, so there's nothing much more to say, while it would be cool it's just not do-able till download speeds get to about 100 megabytes a second world wide.

This should really be closed, if someone has some reason other than posting what has already been said then it can stay open.... I'll just leave it open for now.

Well then again I see the issue here. I understand that this could become an issue... what if David ran some sort of fund raiser or donation? And I'm agreeing here with Guardian Zack. If we all could chip in money and open a new server and talk to David about it, do you think there would be a possibility? Help pay for a new server and games?

thekeyprotector : Yeah that could possibly help but people rare donate or they don't check the forums enough to see donate for ps1 games. But most of this would be best to be answered by David if he cares to come look.

Nope. I don't want PS1 for a few reasons.

1. Sony will hunt us down and possibly sue us
2. It can possibly make the site slower
3. Emulators aren't that good for the PS1.

I'm voting No.

As like many other members have said it's just not worth it.  I personally am happy with the games that are on offer at the moment, plus I'd prefer it if we did stay under the radar... the last thing Vizzed needs is a "let's bite off more than we can chew" type of scenario.....

It's really not worth the money or the risk...

It would be great... But, No.

That could make the Vizzed's server crash... Also, it would cost a lot of money.

The PS1 was a good system but trying to play them on the site is unthinkable. The controls would not be right, and there would be more sever strains on the website.

why is this still open? We've had this discussion a hundred times and there is no way it could happen. Disk based consoles just won't work right now, if ever.
