Sony could be using the DVD player on the Sony PS2 to create an GBC emulator by Datel.
The graphics of GBC will be enhanced by the Gamestudio and will have eight titles with it!
There could be an Gameboy Advance emulator to follow as well.

If this is the case, then the license contravenes current English law, and isnt worth the paper its written on.

By purchasing a copy of the game, you become the licensee.

This has nothing to do with getting ROMS from over the Net?

No there not.

Software emulation is difinitly not illegal... It was part of my college course to write an emulator of Moterolas 68000 chip (the chipset used in Amigas and some Apples)

Not if you are the only person to use/access the copy its not.

You can install the files of games onto your hard disk drive because that's what is required to run the software and although it's a copy, it isn't a backup!
If you read the license agreement of most games, it will say that you aren't allowed to make backup copies. That is because you have the disk anyway! And it's to try to prevent software piracy.
You CAN NOT backup cartridge or any other console games or software unless you wrote it yourself or are the licensee. You also CAN NOT sell these copies to anyone because that is also illegal! It is also illegal to purchase copies! If you buy them thinking they are the real disks, then you may be let off, but if it's obvious that it's a copy...then bad luck you're breakign the law!
Emulators that run console games on your PC using ROMS are illegal! However, some licensees do allow you to use them. There is a piece of hardware for the PC which you can use to play ZX SPectrum games which has been authorised. You still need to have the original games to play them, but that kind of emulation is legal.
Anyway, like I said, Copies are illegal!

Yes I am... If I purchase a game license, I am legally allowed to have a backup copy of the game...
Since software is considered by law to be a work of literature, it doesnt matter what format the original comes on, or my backup comes as... (I can buy a cartidge and have a backup on my HD)
If this wasnt the case, then I would be breaking the law every time I installed a piece of computer software onto my computer since that involves making a copy of the code on the CD-ROM.

There won't be any problems, because it's an emulator. That's what it does.
Also, corps make their cash from software. Sony hardly make anything from the PS2, just from the games. As long as people are buying carts, Nintendo is happy. Ergo, more people buy PS2s, which means they want spangly new PS2 games. Sony's happy.
