bleem! is a Playstation emulator. In other words, bleem! allows Playstation games to be played on a PC. It has support for multiplayer games, analog control, and even will make the game's graphics better using 'D3D'.

The product costs around $30 American, much cheaper than the $100 for the Playstation. However, you need a relatively fast PC. Not all games are compatible with bleem!, but there is a compatibility chart on their webpage. You can also get a demo for free, or download the latest version of the software if you've already bought it.

Sony and bleem!

Sony has sued the makers of bleem! for copyright infringement and misappropriation of trade secrets. A similar lawsuit filed against another emulator, Connectix's Virtual Game Station, was won by Sony, and the emulator was immediately put out of production and taken off store shelves. However, bleem! has not violated any copyrights, and hence, the makers of bleem! will most likely win the case.

bleem! for Dreamcast

bleem! is soon going to be available for the Dreamcast console. It will be available in 'packets' compatible with 100 games each. This will allow it to be fully compatible for every game. In the PC version, when they would tweak the code for new games, other games would become incompatible. By releasing it in 'packets', hopefully this problem can be avoided.
