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.

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.

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.

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

I was having to do this with CEMU for BOTW and TOTK.

We'd just go download shader packs from people with similar GPUs.

One person plays the game inside and out, and paves the way for others.

But even then it was still kind of janky because I think driver versions have a role to play, and I was on Nvidia which updates constantly.

Last time I tried playing TOTK it just sat for a several minutes and compiled shaders when I first launched the game. I didn't have to go find somebody's cache with a similar GPU, it just did it. But I have an AMD card, running Vulkan.
