News/Article The PS5 system itself is running on pc

Recently, we have seen massive developments in PS5 emulators (such as shadPS4 and Kyty), and how rapidly they have progressed in a short period.

​Now, developers have successfully booted the actual PS5 system software on PC.

​If this momentum continues in the future, it will eventually allow players to run PS5 exclusives directly on PC, marking the end of the era of console exclusivity.

Frontier AI si scary good at decomping and recomping stuff now and that's exactly what emulators require.

Because most of decomping is difficult but boring work. An agent doesn't care about boredom.

It’s verifiable work so it’s easier to train the AIs on

It's also very well-paid work if you can do that, because it's a fairly rare skill set.

An agent doesn't care about salary, either. ;)

I had to use IDA Pro once long ago.

Yeah, but no one is paying another guy to decomp a PS5, bruv

No, but some people are doing it purely for the love of the game and you know, gaming. MVPs really.

Sadly those recomps/decomps with ai often don't have simple options like downscaling.
