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.

To be fair, humans recently started to decompile N64 games, and the AI probably just took that progress and applied it to other platforms. Still huge progress, but it doesn't happen in a vacuum... yet.

They probably wrote something like a compiler, which most people don't understand well how it works, but a decompiler? Some analysis tools?

So they took it apart into very small bits and compiled something they may not fully understand, but works?

Or not?
