Sony: we no longer want to support the PC
PC: we are emulating your hardware now so we don’t care
Are there a lot of exclusives on the PS5?
Yeah not too long ago Sony decided to stop porting their games to PC (used to be after a two year delay). I have no idea why. Probably cause Japan hates PC gaming.
And they hate money and games and Kojima and anything that resembles a business model. You know, because the consultants said so.
I mean no one calls the consultants in when things are going well, so the incentive…
Seeing as the PS5 is itself x86, is this truly an emulator as in the QEMU sense, or is it more of a compatibility layer in the WINE sense?
I don’t know the details, but one of the reasons why the games run so good is that they don’t need to emulate the CPU in its entirety. So the emulator wouldn’t work on anything else than x86, unless the emulator is run with an emulator on top of it (like Fex). But I don’t know to what degree the emulation goes deep. I mean we can install Linux operating system and run the Steam games directly without emulation on the PS5. It is probably something like Wine. But compared to Windows, the environment is pretty clear and users cannot install or replace anything in the system themselves.
Disclaimer: I don’t know what I’m talking, this is just information fact checked by my gut feeling.
This is one of the very few areas that AI is really beneficial to. Probably because it includes a lot of backwards engineering and rewriting instructions for different architectures.
You know… the kind of manual labour AI was supposed to handle, so that we could focus on more important tasks. And precisely what 99% of actual AI usage isn’t for.
I’m not very familiar with the project, but their GitHub repo shows Claude as top 3 contributor by commits, and top 11 by additions, so clearly it’s being heavily used.
If you want to check for yourself:
I’m not very familiar with the project,
Neither is anybody else. A codebase entirely written by AI is a codebase nobody is very familiar with.
Of the 200+ commits from the top 3 contributors, 17 are from Claude. 172 are from the project owner. So, ‘entirely written by AI’ is nonsense.
I mean, sick AI burn and all, but you’re leaping to unsupported conclusions.
If Sony just sold games on more platforms…
They ruined that when they announced no more pc ports, followed by no more disc
Bloodborne 60 fps when?
https://www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/01/bloodborne-pc-emulation-can-now-exceed-4k-at-60fps-and-its-brilliant article is from January 2026, about shadPS4 playing Bloodborne at 60@4k.
Bloodborne is a PS4 game, and has been playable at 60fps for a while now.
that being said, as soon as I get to Yahar’gul, my fps tanks to the low 10s. That was about a year ago, so maybe the updated emulator might handle it better?
Already been done for a while. Pretty easy to set up too
