Sony vs. Bleem! in 2001. Sony lost, but the cost still shut down the project.

Yep, Sony "lost," but they still killed Bleem and forced the creator into an agreement to, among other things, not make any more Playstation emulators. So really, Sony 100% won.
Bleem was a big deal, too. It let you just pop a Playstation game into a PC's CD-ROM drive and play it. When Sony finally nailed the coffin on them, they were working on a followup called "bleemcast" that would've let Playstation games be played on the Sega Dreamcast.

Some of it was released as individual emulators to play a single game. I played Gran Turismo 2 on my dreamcast using one of those.
