What ever happened to it? Did Sony sue them all into bankruptcy? Did everyone involved leave the scene?

That must have been an awkward job interview.

And who was behind it? None other than Aaron Giles.

Ah, the golden age of emulation era. It will never repeat again unless we break the speed-temperature barrier and processors start duplicating performance every 6 months as before.

What that doesn't mention is that before they were sued by Sony, the bleem guys were themselves making legal threats against anyone who was anywhere near emulating the Playstation for free at that point (PSEmuPro had several commercial games playable at that time and I believe PCSX was getting close).

Also, "bleem" was supposedly also the name of Randy Linden's pet sheep.
