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.

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.

Could just be because emulation is a concept a lot of people already understand and the end result is the same. If you tell people it's doing the job of an emulator then they'll probably understand enough without needing further explanation.

I dunno, AnyPS5, for example, explicitly stated on its github page that it is not emulation, so that people wouldn't get confused.

It's just a guess. If you want a concrete answer you might have to message the devs.
