Yeah, they'd likely need an entity like the EFF to step in.Д«ut it could be a case of a lot of work for an only (perceived) incremental improvement. So it is best to leave things out that have gotten others into the courtroom in the first place.

Most emulator developers don't have the funds to last a day in court against a behemoth of a company.

I think the real cause is that nobody wants to put in the effort for what they perceive as a minor incovenience (the illegal download of a BIOS dump, that is) The fact a case has a verdict means (at least in the US) that all similar cases will have a very-similar verdict. One potential problem may be that the emulator communities don't want to risk getting sued, since they'd really have no recourse but to shut down. and the CD drive even skips on audio-CDs, recordable or not, I have to 'warm it up' for 20 minutes playing audio CDs in mute before I can launch a game)ДЄctually, both Bleem and Connectix Virtual Game Station replaced the BIOS, were sued by Sony and won, but Bleem went under due to the legal costs, and Sony bought out VGS. I guess us people who still have working CDs but PSOnes with worn-out CD drives are a minority (yes, I have tried copying the CDs into fresh 'gold' Taiyo Yuden, no dice. So, since they will dive into the murky parts of the internets anyway in order to use their emulators, one more download isn't such a big deal. My guess for not bothering to make one for most free emulators is that most users of emulators never had CDs of the games, or have long lost them, so they download disc images to use in the emulator. Still, Bleem did it, so it's possible to have a legal BIOS replacement for the PS1.

A console OS is a bit more complicated than a PC BIOS. They didn't copy the BIOS, they made sure it responded the same to basic IO commands. Phoenix copied the IBM PC BIOS just fine without getting sued, despite that BIOS being the only IBM-proprietary thing in the IBM PC.ДЄlso, Bleem did it (had a BIOS replacement in their emulator) and the court sided with them (sorry for not posting it initially, it was in the second post I nuked, I have put it back in first post now) I disagree with the 'they'd probably get sued' bit. Even if they made a clone of the BIOS that worked exactly the same without the proprietary logos of the original vendor, they'd probably get sued.

The software (BIOS) is not legally redistributable, but without it you won't have the identical behavior of the original consoles.

I mean, who doesn't want to play classic games on their living room TV?ДЄlso, what's this obsession with requiring BIOS files (dumps)? All hail emulator log'Our emulator is legal, but in order to use it you either need to crack open a PS1 and use uber-specialized hardware and sofrware to extract the BIOS, or dive into the murky parts of the internets and obtain a BIOS dump illegally' I don't get how a 10-foot interface wasn't near the top of the priority list all along.
