Comment on KytyPS5 (PS5 Emulator) can now run GTA V at 60fps for few minutes before crashing

Ok, so if it’s translating to a reverse engineered API, it’s emulation. But if it uses the proprietary documentation and does the same exact translation it…wouldn’t be emulation anymore? What part are we saying is being emulated again?

    You asked if proton is doing basically the same thing and I said yes

    Ah I see. So what makes kytyps5 an emulator given that proton is emphatically not an emulator?

You don’t really need to emulate stuff, you need to reimplement the APIs, and those aren’t well documented, at least not publicly.
