Same for the consoles tho'..  a blank (gold) CD costs 79 uk pence..  79p for 
Sat & PS games.. just as cheap as pc softwarez..
N64 Romz can easily be downloaded from the net for nothing..
 PC> And all the games that are out on consoles are, or will be on the PC.
A lot maybe, but not all..
 PC> Take Sega, they got a bunch of games out for the PC.. There's a bunch

 PC> games will be on PC easily with ROMs and all that..
Have you seen any of the N64 emu's running..  On a P200 w/32meg it runs at 9% 
N64 speed..  The only game that works is pong..  (R Bubba hack together, not 
a comercial cart..)
Same for the PS..  On the same spec PC the emulator runs at 51% proper PS 
speed (Altho the coder of PSEmu has said that due to him having time off 
work, he should be able to do a lot more coding & optimising & get it to 90%, 
but I doubt it, not with a P200..)
The only Sat Emu I have is not finished so no games run yet..  :(
