please someone correct me if im wrong, but like... a couple of weeks ago, they barely could run a game into the emulator, now they can run games at 16 FPS, stable, so probably when all squares = green, the emulator will be even performing better! from that point, it's optimization and improve what the previous state was, in a loop, so yeah... expect better performance in the weeks to come
edit: and funny, probably sony is right now having a board meeting with lawyers to address this, but shit is moving SO FAST, and corporate decisions are pretty slow, by the time they come up with an action, the emulator probably will be in a state completely improved, and more forks, and more private repos running, it’s so over for them
The irony is if you think this only affects Sony, you’re in for a world of hurt since Nintendo games are also starting to be affected and eventually all software.
I honestly don’t see a down side. More accessible software. Sounds like competition to me, Sony and Nintendo might have to get off their ass and do something enticing for once.
? Yeah, you’re not getting it lol. If this starts affecting software on a grand scale, there’s going to be a reckoning in how the tech industry protects their IPs. This goes beyond simple video games and stealing.
It's funny I just listened to a podcast about how corporations use the whole "Well we already destroyed the endangered species environment from us violating the restraining order so lets just proceed like its a sunk cost now" would be an interesting argument for PlayStation emulation.
I mean like... its open source... so... whooooops its already out there. We left the instructions how to reverse engineer everything else so the damage is done... whoops.
