Emulation of a system running x86_64 on an x86_64 system is like moronic Inception.

Capitalism is amazingest
Genuine question, why is this downvoted? Or am I dummy?
The issue is the proprietary graphics API needs to be emulated. Also OS calls.
PS4 and PS5 emulators I don’t think any of them actually emulate the CPU at least. This is more like QEMU and WINE, sort of. They do emulate some stuff like parts of the firmware, memory management, input/output systems, API.
The first PS4 emulator that got in-game with a few 2D titles was literally just a modified version of QEMU as a proof of concept. Only ran on Unix based operating systems because the PS4 runs a modified version of FreeBSD.
And you’ll need 1 whole data center to run the emulator.
The PC running it has a Ryzen 7 9950X3D CPU and an RX 7900 XT GPU
Seems very CPU dependant.
That’s pretty typical of emulators.
To be fair it shouldn’t take too much CPU as ps4/5 emulation relies a lot on translation rather as emulation because ps5 is just zen2 apu
That was what I was gping to build before prices went crazy 🥲
Isn’t PS5 x86?
On a normal PC that’s more like specialized virtualization rather than emulation. It should run decent.
It’s emulation. The CPU architecture is only one piece of the puzzle. The PS5 runs a custom operating system with custom graphics APIs.
Weird.
That’s how the PC version was at launch for me.
And how many fps does it run after the crash?
I can barely play for 5 minutes without crashing the car.
Since PS5 is actually x86 isn’t this more like a VM than an actual emulator?

What could possibly need this here?

Oh my pccccccccccccccccccc
Zero sympathy for people who don't browse the web with an ad blocker in 2026.
Okay? Unrelated to me. I have an ad blocker if that’s what you mean.
LLMs are pretty good at reverse engineering proprietary software, would make sense to use one for an emulator.
Looking forward to SAMTIME referring to this as the “Kittai PS5”
When gta 6? I hope before PC release
Granted. PC release coming in 2049
I should pirate GTA VI and try to play it on this.
Isn’t that the kinda thing that got yuzu and ryujinx switch emulators in trouble (totk)
From what I understand, the developers of those emulators supposedly supported piracy.
Wtf is going on with the generic compatibility list?
