bleem have over a actual Playstation?
|
A: One big thing is Load
time, since the actual playstation only reads cd's at 2X, and most computers

then a playstation, also speed depending on your machine, may give smoother
resolution, leading to better gameplay, as well as no White then black start up
screens! also, with the addition of 3d hardware support, textures will look

800x600 will make your games look a lot better..
