"Bringing Classic Games to Next-Gen Consoles: The PS2 Emulation Breakthrough"

Robin Lavallée, CEO of Implicit Conversions, is leading the development of the SYRUP Engine, an emulation software that enables old classic games to run smoothly on modern consoles like PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The company's technology overcomes legal and technical challenges associated with emulating old games, and Lavallée hopes to open the market for officially emulated games to new audiences. Implicit Conversions has worked on titles like Jet Moto, Grandia, and Star Wars games, and is currently collaborating with Sony to bring PlayStation 1 titles to PS5. Lavallée aims to scale the engine so that other developers can use it, and believes that old games hold enduring appeal for today's gamers.
