Video PS5 Emulation becoming viable on lower end PCs!

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.

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

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

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

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

Phones are now mini-steam decks

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.

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

Might be 1080p then, I just assumed it defaulted to 720p

Fair enough, If I had a device with a newer chip and more ram I would most likely try and get elden ring and bloodborne to a playable state.

Edit: I bet ds3 would be great on the fold. Hope you enjoy that fun gadget!

Usually use my Folds to stream Moonlight (local is like >5ms latency and ~30ms remote) but jfc we are progressing rapidly on the mobile side. I think it was maybe a week between getting Frame and seeing compatibility appear for Snapdragon processors. Crazy since the Frame uses gen 3 chips and the Fold 8 uses a gen 5.
