I didn't know about Sony going bankrupt?
I guess that's good to know. I'll try to buy more from them. Sony is one of my immediate family's favorite gaming companies, right under Nintendo.

I can't yet but if I had the money my Butler would drove me
Who honestly buys a retro game that's out of stock? Honestly, unless I see it at a local yard-sale, or it becomes purchasable through E-Shop/PSN/XB-LIVE I honestly don't see anything wrong with getting it online.
Yeah, their games division is basically their life preserver (as the PlayStation line is doing more than ok), but their hardware/film division is leaking money uncontrollably

I would if it were something like Vib-Ribbon, PaRappa the Rapper or EarthBound.
I can't emulate PSX games on my computer.
I even have issues with SNES games at times.

Then something's seriously jacked up as those specs are more than plenty for Snes and PSX emulation. Which emulators, plugins, versions, etc?

ePSXe I think
ZSNES
both latest, and I don't know what the plugins are.
It's partially because my computer is slow af sometimes
Hmmm, that's strange, I had a computer a while back (4 years or so) that had much worse specs than this and it was able to run PSX emu. games as well as SNES and GBA games without any-problems. Heck, I think the only thing it struggled with was GameCube games. It must be the plugins or another hardware installed.

Eww, Zsnes? That thing hasn't been updated since 2006, you're better off with the latest Snes9x test build
Zsnes 2.0 is in development, but won't be out for some time, Snes9x is still very fast and pretty accurate, you can run that on old machines. I'm sorry, but Zsnes.....ugh. You deserve better.
epsxe can be a huge bitch to set up, namely the D3D & OpenGL2 plugins because you need to set them up just right to get them to run properly if you have a slow computer. Randomizer's right though; your computer should run SNES and PS1 games without a problem, but epsxe takes a lot of trial and error to set up, and even when you get it set up properly for one game you sometimes have to fuck with the settings again on a game-to-game basis.
Also, my main point about piracy is that while it is technically stealing, I don't feel bad about it at all other than the DC games I burned when the DC was still alive. It's not that I'm justifying downloading ROMs/ISOs, I just don't care and I'd rather not pay thousands of $ for old games when I could play them on my PC. Also CPS2 arcade boards are not cheap and you have to worry about shit like battery replacement and all that crap. Emulating it on MAME, or buying the Saturn version are the only options I would consider for playing CPS2 games.(xmvsf in this case)
I also own the vast majority of the PS1 games I emulate and usually use emulated copies as backups, plus playing them in high resolution in epsxe is pretty awesome. If I can find a used version of a game I want at a reasonable price, I'll but it but if it's expensive as shit, fuck that I'm downloading it. Emulation, other than being awesome, has the added, unintentional benefit of preserving lots of unknown games like I said before. I'll end my ramble here but in short I sleep fine at night despite using emulators since 1998.
