Now more than ever, publishers are looking at their old IP and seeing what they can remake, remaster, and emulate for modern consoles. And Sony has been releasing PS1, PS2, and PSP Classics on PS5 with PS Plus Premium! But a lot of people wonder why it takes so long for those games to come out? What's the issue? These are old games and the emulator shouldn't be a problem, right? Well that's only one part of the equation. Today I sit down with Bill Litshauer, the CEO of Implicit Conversions. This studio specializes in emulation technology, and they pitch to publishers that they can bring their old games back. But this is easier said than done! Here's what it takes to bring a classic game to PlayStation 5 & Nintendo Switch. And no, I tried inserting my CD's. No matter how many times I try, IT. DOES. NOT. WORK.
