I love this kind of project. I haven't played much of those games but I lost my shit when demon souls network features became available for ps3 emu. I hope to see more network replacement in the future so we can all have that nostalgia hit in retirement or deathbed(this will be me) even if the original servers are down.

I remember when people did something similar for Xbox live. It was the only way I could play halo 2 with people. Love projects like that.

oh that's another nostalgic thing. do you mean the method that would bridge your lan to other players and you could do local matches over the internet? I remember doing that on the original hardware and also playing halo 2 with a bunch of friends every lunch break. Bowl noodles, a sandwich, and halo 2 until 5 min to the bell and we would sprint down the street back to class.

Possibly I was fairly young at the time so I don't remember it well. But it was great that it worked. We all brought our xboxes to our Friends place who had the internet. Rare at the time where I was and we used that tool to take on the world as a small team. I remember their older brother was supervising us and helped get everything working.

Wow I had never even thought about looking for something like this, so cool.
