[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 2 days ago (1 child) No shit. Didn't have to jailbreak the PS5 to know that. permalink fedilink source hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] addie@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago Sony have a track record of using fucky CPUs - the PS3 cell processor in particular, but also the emotion engine in the PS2 - and I'd be somewhat impressed by getting 100% compatibility including all edge cases in an emulator. Sony have already done it. They have all the original PS2 design docs of course, but they have their own emulator for games you download from them. After paying for shit you already own again, of course. This new "emulator" is mostly Claude bullshit, so fuck it - could have just ported RPCS2 and be done. permalink fedilink source parent
