PS5 Emulation becoming viable on lower end PCs!

[u/agente4242]

Using Jetsku's KytyPS5 Fork as it has some fixes in both Astro games.

Build is an RTX 5060 + Ryzen 5 5600GT (Same performance as a 5500, 6c/12t), 16GB RAM. Game is Astro's Playroom.

It's still getting around 35 fps in the main lobby, but inside the actual levels its hovering around 45-60fps! Not sure I'd call it fully playable yet, but the progress is amazing.

More gameplay and settings used, guide (english subtitled): https://youtu.be/yMw7_cGbicw

Edit: fixed link. Meant lower end when compared to most showcases of these emulators being 5090s, X3D chips and DDR5... Better wording would be "current-generation lower end".

Also, people seem to be wildly overestimating the 5600gt. Genuinely can't run any triple-A RPCS3 game at a locked 30fps.

[u/Frodowitz]

Insane how quickly this is developing

[u/random-meme422 → u/Frodowitz]

Yeah AI is incredible when used as a tool.

[u/TallTelevision4121 → u/random-meme422]

I mean, that's what it is...a tool

[u/Ephieria → u/TallTelevision4121]

people also call me a tool. My future will be bright.

[u/random-meme422 → u/TallTelevision4121]

Some use it like a silver bullet to all their problems not understanding someone still needs to learn it, pilot it, refine, etc.

[u/Far-Hovercraft9471 → u/TallTelevision4121]

So are my coworkers, but they don’t do anything this cool

[u/sonicnerd14 → u/TallTelevision4121]

It took something that the gaming community could get behind to finally realize that. All technology is a utility, don't forget this instead of blinded hatred towards it.

[u/Entitled-Prick → u/Frodowitz]

Am I crazy for assuming the progression is due to GTAIV? Because that's definitely what it feels like to me.

Edit: GTA VI

[u/TallTelevision4121 → u/Entitled-Prick]

There's been a big jailbreak community for PS for a while now. It's just that they started using AI, others saw they could do the same, and everyone started working together and are tearing it down piece by piece (the security of PlayStation);at an accelerated rate.

[u/Entitled-Prick → u/TallTelevision4121]

Oh for sure, I knew about the new AI hype in the scene. I just feel like the drama and hype surrounding GTA, Sony pissing away their good will by excluding physical discs, and the major leaks that have come out in the past few months encouraged more development. Could be an illusory correlation, don't get me wrong.

[u/Ominoiuninus → u/Entitled-Prick]

Oh it’s definitely accelerated due to AI but also due to GTA6. People want to play GTA6 on their PCs and are trying to find a way to do it. If a PC emulator is able to run PS operating system and I can get GTA that way… I absolutely am. Not spending $1200 on a PS5 that has a third of the power of my PC. Even if emulation takes a 50% fps loss it’s still equal for me.

30fps on a console is also just a joke. Like seriously 30fps is laughable in 2026.

[u/KawaXIV → u/Entitled-Prick]

IV? That's a very old game.

[u/marceloadrian]

RTX5060 lower end?

Lower end for me is a rtx2080...

[u/StudyPuzzleheaded413 → u/marceloadrian]

This hardware is almost on the level of the PS5 itself. Emulation has always required hardware that is noticeably more powerful than the emulated hardware, so in this case, it is lower-end.

[u/Mobile_Antelope1048 → u/StudyPuzzleheaded413]

It’s not emulating tho, it’s more of a translation layer like proton

[u/Mythicguy → u/Mobile_Antelope1048]

Yeah but functionally it does the same thing. Translation requires less system overhead, but requires some system overhead nonetheless.

Really impressive tech. I've been playing Dark Souls Remastered on my Z Fold 8. Lol

[u/menonono → u/Mythicguy]

How do you play dark souls on your z fold? Emulating it through Eden?

[u/Mythicguy → u/menonono]

GameNative :) it uses wine and a VM of Linux locally on the phone. Runs pretty good! 60fps 720p!

[u/misterespresso → u/Mythicguy]

I don't know how I forgot the things you can do with android...

[u/Owobowos-Mowbius → u/misterespresso]

Now you can use droiddeck to install an android version of genuine SteamOS lmao

Phones are now mini-steam decks

[u/New_Target7441 → u/Mythicguy]

Give DroidDeck a shot, too. Been using it on my S24 Ultra and been doing another Skyrim playthrough for shits 'n' giggles. Runs just fine on medium settings, barring typical Bethesda jank.

[u/International_Cow_17 → u/Mythicguy]

Tbh Dark Souls Remastered runs ~60fps at 720p on 8gen2.(Thats how I beat it last time. Galaxy tab s9 11".)

[u/StudyPuzzleheaded413 → u/Mobile_Antelope1048]

I have heard about this, that KytyPS5 and AnyPS5 are practically the same thing. But if I understand correctly, some part is still being emulated for now, rather than fully working as a translation layer?

[u/Mobile_Antelope1048 → u/StudyPuzzleheaded413]

I’m not well versed enough to explain.

But translating is wayyyyy less ressources hungry than emulating. So once optimized it should be pretty ‘light’

[u/necessarycoot72 → u/Mobile_Antelope1048]

in essence, an emulator is emulating the hardware in software. A translation layer is different. instead of emulating hardware, you translate, in this case ps5 system calls into something windows or Linux can understand.

a windows to Linux translation layer like wine and proton has very little overhead. so little in fact that you can play competitive FPS games with little difference in performance. Only difference between KytyPS5 and wine is that wine has 30 years of Dev time meanwhile KytyPS5 has less than a year though AI might make up for this short coming. only time will tell.

[u/KilloMaster → u/Mobile_Antelope1048]

Translation is really like two people having a conversation with each other but needing a third to translate everything. It works but takes a little bit of time, because the sentences needs to be far along to have the right context.

Emulation is just you out with your dictionary and trying to understand it all, you’ll get there but it takes time. Take a group of friend with you and you’ll get there faster.

[u/StudyPuzzleheaded413 → u/Mobile_Antelope1048]

I know. It's just that on KytyPS5's GitHub, project is described as both a translation layer and an emulator at the same time.

[u/Literallyapig → u/StudyPuzzleheaded413]

they're not really the same thing. kytyPS5 is a real-time translation layer, anyPS5 actually converts the ps5 binary to the system's native binary format (ELF for linux, PE for windows) and links it to a reimplementation of ps5's system libraries, with the shaders being converted to SPIR-V. in simpler terms, it basically ports the game to your system of choice (linux and windows are the one supported).

anyPS5 would be closer to N64Recomp or XenonRecomp (for 360), but anyps5 seems to aim at being much more straightforward to use.

[u/Pengwin0 → u/StudyPuzzleheaded413]

It’s probably more feasible for people to wait for genuine decomps running directly on PC hardware if you don’t have a super high end pc

[u/Arturopxedd → u/marceloadrian]

yes 300 bucks is low end if that wasnt the case middle would be a 5060 then everything above is high end which makes no sense looking at the price disparity

[u/PsychologyNo4343 → u/marceloadrian]

A 2080 is high end but old. A 5060 is low end but new.

[u/Vaxtez → u/marceloadrian]

Lower end is things like the GTX 1050 Ti, Radeon 760M, ARC A380 & below to me. Maybe at most i'd say things like the GTX 1650/Radeon 780M/Intel ARC 7Xe are low end (but those are still quite potent as is).

I'd hardly call a 2080 low end though. That's not low end in the slightest, even in 2026. That's lower mid range imho. Go to places where real low end systems are common (i.e r/lowendgaming) & they'd laugh at you calling a 2080 low end.

[u/BlueTemplar85 → u/Vaxtez]

Yeah, low end is somewhere around recent integrated graphics, by definition.

[u/maevian → u/Vaxtez]

Okay, but you have to be realistic, the cards you are naming are weaker as the base PS5.
You can’t expect an emulator to run on weaker hardware as the hardware it is emulating.

[u/Vivid-Annual-2876y → u/Vaxtez]

2080 was high end not a long time ago.

Lower end is iGPUs like Intel Xe (not Iris Xe, but the worse version in cpus like the 1215u), and not iGPUs like Arc 140v or better

[u/ColdRainS126 → u/Vivid-Annual-2876y]

what you mean not too long ago? it was release nearly a decade ago

[u/Vivid-Annual-2876y → u/ColdRainS126]

8 years...

You may be right. I'm old.

[u/Inevitable_Case_9931 → u/Vaxtez]

So if a 5050 is low end and can beat it… that means by your measure a 5050 is mid range?

[u/diejesus → u/Vaxtez]

Finally someone making sense, I was downvoted a couple of months ago for saying that 5070ti is definitely not a mid range card, it's in top 10 best cards in the world, people are so oblivious having no idea that there are way more cards on the market than 5050-5090

[u/CryptographerLow6360 → u/Vaxtez]

lower end is at least a 970

[u/dmurikssix → u/marceloadrian]

I would call 2080 a mid tier card

[u/Senator-Biff → u/marceloadrian]

According to techpowerup a 5060 is only 28% ahead of the 2080

"only 28%"

[u/MoistFold → u/AVA_AW]

I mean, it’s a 3-generation leap. 25% is nothing to sneeze at but considering the advancements made between those two cards that’s more comparable than you would expect.

[u/lungovsky19 → u/AVA_AW]

For being 3 generations newer, yeah it's not that much

Check the GTX 760 vs the RTX 2060

[u/WorldPhysical7646 → u/lungovsky19]

You mean 780 vs 2060

[u/CrunchyJeans → u/marceloadrian]

2080 seems pretty high end too...I'm used to a gtx 1060 being low end

[u/bigbrentos → u/CrunchyJeans]

Once you get 1000 and below, mean, at that point a base PS5 is probably outbenching your rig and someone might need to temper their expectations on what can run these roms.

[u/MysteriousMouse1 → u/CrunchyJeans]

1060 is legit ancient technology brother

[u/Frantic_Ranting → u/MysteriousMouse1]

You can't game newer titles for less than $500 and a 2080 is over 8 years old.

[u/Lionel_messi827]

Calling a pc with rtx 5060 a lower end is crazy

[u/Xecular_Official → u/Lionel_messi827]

Everything may have gotten more expensive, but the 60 series are entry level cards

[u/FailSonnen → u/Xecular_Official]

it's an entry level card that is a year old vs. a console APU that is 6 years old

[u/Xecular_Official → u/FailSonnen]

Yeah? The PS5's apu is technically on par with a 3060 in terms of raster performance, and that card only launched a year after the ps5

The point is to showcase that entry level systems can emulate PS5 games though, not to compare the PS5 to modern hardware

[u/mackerelscalemask → u/Xecular_Official]

I wonder how well an 8GB 3060 would do with this app? Must be a bit short of native PS5 performance due to translation layer and current state of the code (early alpha).

[u/Plightz → u/FailSonnen]

Yeah, what do you expect with emulation that's only restarted work cause Sony were being morons. It's impressive it's gotten this far in a month or so.

[u/orsikbattlehammer → u/Xecular_Official]

They are absolutely not entry level cards. Holy cow Nvidia marketing has done a number on the public. Just because they axed their 30 level cards doesn’t mean the 60 level becomes bottom barrel, did we just totally forget the 5050 exists? An entry level card does not have a $300 MSRP even in 2026 dollars.

[u/reader4567890 → u/orsikbattlehammer]

5050 is low end too. This isn't simple, the 5060 is an entry level gaming GPU of the current gen. Price doesn't come into it.

By the amazing logic displayed in these comments, a 1070 isn't low end because the 970 exists.

[u/Xecular_Official → u/orsikbattlehammer]

The msrp difference between the 5050 and 5060 is only ~$50. I'd argue that the 60 series are still entry level cards even if they aren't the absolute cheapest model Nvidia offers

A different brand would be a better value anyways for someone who is on a tight enough budget for $50 to matter

[u/sonicnerd14 → u/orsikbattlehammer]

People completely forgot what mid-range is. Lol

[u/AstroPhysician → u/sonicnerd14]

70s would be midrange where 80 and 90 is upper

Easy to be happy with an old GPU you bought for dirt cheap or 8 years ago than a new $400 card gimped by Nvidia

[u/Tatakai_ → u/Hytht]

I got the whole PC for 300 bucks (in exchange for making someone a website). Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. Got an i9 cpu, 32gb ram, 1070 and a 500gb nvme plus a 500gb sata ssd I threw in meanwhile.

Sure I can't play Doom Dark Ages and a few others, but I can play 99% of what I like.

[u/geileanus → u/RojaTop]

Ah come the fuck on. It's only lower end if you are a gamer connoisseur. Needing to play SOME games at lower resolution while being able to play most games at 1440p is not lower end.

This subreddit is fucking delusional at times. Holy fuck leave the sub and come outside sometimes. So many people are not able to afford 5060ti (also pre AI price explosion) and here is someone saying it's low-end.

just because you cant afford something doesnt make it not true it is lower end middle would be 5070 and everything above high end

If you're buying parts new and don't want to buy used, it kind of is the low end.

Sony: hey guys remember when we said no more pc ports?

[u/STB_LuisEnriq]

I played Astro Bot last year on the PS5 Pro and it was a really fun experience, does this emulation (or whatever it is) have full support for the Dualsense?

Trust me, if you are gonna play it, it has to be using full features.

[u/agente4242 → u/STB_LuisEnriq]

Yep, dualsense is fully supported. In fact, either a dualshock 4 or a dualsense is required in Astro games due to the touchpad mechanics. No way to get around it currently, as far as im aware.

[u/BlueTemplar85 → u/agente4242]

Wait, what touchpad mechanics, and why other controllers with touchpads (like the two Steam Controllers) would not work ?

[u/agente4242 → u/BlueTemplar85]

There's a level (in Astro's Playroom at least) where you control your character using the touchpad only. I'm assuming steam controller wouldnt work because its touchpad simply acts as a mouse, and a mouse doesn't work in that level.

[u/Entitled-Prick → u/BlueTemplar85]

Different ways that they're coded if I'm not mistaken. The Steam controllers basically have two small mouse track pads on them, and they're coded as such for use with steam's UI (like using them to type in tandem on a Steam Deck). The PS5 controllers are straight up touch pads that have parameters built to be natively recognized by the game/emulation. Hopefully they'll add in support for others in the long run too.

[u/BlueTemplar85 → u/Entitled-Prick]

So there are no actual physical differences, it's just driver(-interfacing) support that is still missing in the 'emulator' ?

[u/Cookies3000]

I find these posts a bit misleading. Ive tried the emulator with Astro Bot too, with that certain fork of the emu and even the non RT fixes.

What nobody talks about in these posts is that shader compilation is a huge problem.

The game basically freezes, it drops to 0-5fps because the GPU has to wait for the CPU. And thats every time a new asset/animation or any other visual effect in general gets loaded. Its not a very playable experience.

Once I played thru a level before and I play it again its nice and smooth 60fps because its cached. You basically have to play thru the whole game once to have a decent experience the second time.

[u/PeachMan- → u/Cookies3000]

Shader compilation is always a big hurdle for new emulators. Go look up old threads about CEMU alpha builds with shader compilation issues. I used to have to do the same thing; load a level a few times before it ran smoothly. But it's not an issue anymore.

This emulator is not ready for prime time yet, but that's fine. This progress is very encouraging.

[u/Cookies3000 → u/PeachMan-]

I agree im not trying to be the boo man. I just disagree with the statement of "running smooth 60fps". Its not a smooth 60fps experience.

I apprecaite the work people put into these emulators and the progress is crazy indeed.

If someone told me there will be a ps5 emulator in a promising stage lietrally before gta6 a year ago i wouldnt have belived it.

[u/sdcar1985 → u/Cookies3000]

Lol, "the boo man." Never heard it described that way, but I like it

[u/I_think_Im_hollow → u/Cookies3000]

Lol. Flashbacks of CEMU and Breath of The Wild. Maybe there's a way to export and upload the shader cache for other to use? Or maybe we just need to wait until performance gets good enough that it doesn't matter.

[u/Gooftus → u/I_think_Im_hollow]

Back in the day, I downloaded somebody's pre-cached shaders for BOTW and it work flawlessly. Eliminated 99% of the stutters. Not sure how well that would work for a larger and higher fidelity game like GTA though

[u/DarkFantom → u/Cookies3000]

Couldn't this just be resolved by forcing shaders to pre compile on game launch?

[u/VickZilla → u/DarkFantom]

The way games are programmed now they don’t really announce that kind of stuff ahead of time. It takes a lot of effort to find out the shaders you need in advance

[u/Virtual_Bar7818 → u/VickZilla]

Is this what Sony made a whole big deal about with their storage speeds?

[u/VickZilla → u/Virtual_Bar7818]

That’s part of it yeah! But the biggest different that those speeds make would be for much larger assets like textures and models that are live streamed into the game to minimize loading screens

Shaders are very small but they require CPU cycles to get compiled which is where the stutter comes from

[u/Cookies3000 → u/DarkFantom]

Not sure but prolly yes. I think rpcs3 does that for ps3 emulation.

[u/thisinfinitebath → u/Cookies3000]

Sometimes you have to walk before you can run.

[u/Cookies3000 → u/thisinfinitebath]

Yea sure and dont get me wrong, these emulators are great and i appreciate the work people do, even with the help of AI.

Im just saying that before i tested it myself i thought the game would just run on 60fps like that because of all these posts but thats not the case.

These posts make it seem like its more or less plug and play. Just a little misleading.Great progress tho for sure!

[u/Traditional-Storm-62 → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

emulators are inherently less efficient than running a program natively

PS5 already has basically rx6700

so you wouldnt expect anything less than rx6700 to run the emulator at all

Someone really on a budget might even get a 1080, which you can get for £100 in the UK and can still handle 1080/60 in a lot of cases. That's low end, budget gaming, not a fucking 5060 lmao

[u/Valkanith → u/wowohwowza]

That’s what I don’t get with this sub, a PC with a 5060 is already more powerful than 90% of the computers in the world. Do people in this sub really think anything below a 5070 is “garbage tier”?

[u/Mixed_Martial_Autism → u/Valkanith]

This sub is pretty much a bubbles of suburban Americans who can buy a 5090 with like one months of Working at McDonald's while living with their parents. Pretty much Anywhere Else in the world you Would need to save for MONTHS to even but a 5060.

[u/Arturopxedd → u/wowohwowza]

1060 was low end even back then that shit is broke end we are talking about low end

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

On mine. I have an i7 4700k, 24Gb DDR3 RAM and a 5060. My shits old.

[u/maevian → u/According_Big_5638]

Man that 5060 is so over spec’d for a 4700k

[u/According_Big_5638 → u/maevian]

Yeah. It sure is. But it's incredible what it does regardless

[u/xFrazle → u/Heavy_Nature_4896]

This universe

The universe we currently live in. It's the upper low end.

[u/Menes101]

"lower end pc" sod off lol

[u/joodoos]

People not knowing the difference between outdated and low end in here is pretty comical.

Leaps and bounds being made for emulation and some of you acting like literal children.  

Be patient.   Why are you on this sub with 20 year old hardware?  

[u/DelusionalWoodoo → u/joodoos]

because the 8800gtx is cool? duh

[u/Pronoia2-4601]

I have a feeling that static recomp is going to largely take the place of emulation, for enormous performance improvements.

[u/agente4242 → u/Pronoia2-4601]

I also hope so. Static recomps require far less CPU power.

[u/Fickle-Culture8252 → u/Pronoia2-4601]

That would make a lot of sense, wouldn’t it? 

Emulation is not that different from programming languages that work on top of some model of virtual machine (e.g. Java and JVM).

First step for languages+VM is interpretation (emulation): just interpret the (byte)code as it comes. But it’s slow, so you try to implement JIT compilation that would be creating native code.

And if you can just static compile it… well, why wouldn’t you?

[u/antman1983]

So I've seen a lot of these videos and I'm entirely onboard. Where abouts do I get access to this? Do I have to make a Claude account and get it to reverse engineer my game of choice, or is there some repositary of games in browser ready to go.

(I am not a narc)

[u/agente4242 → u/antman1983]

Can't link game files as I'd get banned. But the repositories for the emulator and game extraction tool are in the description of the video.

[u/TheStupendusMan → u/antman1983]

Nice try, narc!

[u/mileskg21]

cries in 6000 series :(

[u/MertTR34 → u/mileskg21]

why 6950xt better gpu?

[u/Apart-Slip3]

Apparently lower-end for many here means Intel-Atom, a GT 210 and 2gb of ram

[u/Patrickplus2 → u/Apart-Slip3]

I feel called out

[u/TheMonkeyPickler → u/Apart-Slip3]

People are just butthurt that their half decade old cards are no longer top end.

[u/HeartInTheSun9 → u/Apart-Slip3]

The reality is there’s probably a few million people that could even dream of running these things. There’s a reason Steam said they aimed the Steam machine at around the power level most pc gamers are at.

[u/scanguy25]

Just shows how weak sauce a PS5 is

[u/am_n00ne]

ngas said low end and im expecting like 1060 at least

[u/Fashiony_Throwaway → u/am_n00ne]

To be fair, the PS5's GPU is more powerful than a 1060, so performance would be abysmal if it could even run

[u/DrKingOfOkay]

Drop the link with instructions.

Video is gone

[u/MertTR34]

finally every benchmark with 5090s and latest cpus wth

[u/Snootboop42]

Hmmm

[u/wvladimirs]

Ooh cool lower end PC, great finally i can play in my work laptop with share memory 8 gb ram, ...... RTX5060 oooh

[u/DragonStriker]

I'm assuming that while the emulator itself is available online, getting ISO/dumps of the PS5 games itself to play is a bit more tricky?

[u/polishatomek]

I'm leaning a bit anti ai, but I'm all for fucking over big companies.

[u/Locky0999]

Okay, now I'm impressed

Like, one thing is getting to run on a ryzen 9 or threadripper, but on a hexacore? Maybe we're getting to run on a gaming notebook until the end of the year

[u/Smart_Main6779]

5600GT is a very underrated VFM CPU. the GT series largely went under the radar

[u/cokeiscool]

I have a 3070ti

Would it run?

[u/Aral-RU → u/cokeiscool]

5060=3070 so why not

[u/Nandulal]

need to try with my 2080

[u/Euphoric_Juggernaut6]

That’s pretty impressive

[u/TheDiamondSquidy]

The 5060 is 3070 performance for reference

[u/guinomim]

do you need a dualsense 5 to experience astrobot to the max? i only got an xbox controller

[u/Grotbagsthewonderful]

Oh this is hilarious, I can only imagine the amount of frantic lobbying Sony are now desperately carrying out behind the scenes.

Hahaha lower end a rtx5060...

[u/Ashamed-Tie-573]

5060 is entry level aka lower end of the current generation. It’s not that deep.

[u/Additional_Fan_7059]

RTX5060 LOWER END?!

[u/amey2smith]

5060 is low end ?
