Is there a working way to pirate PS5 games now?

I kinda assumed there was, but I just checked and apparently not. Fuck. Kinda shocked to be honest

Yeah, the PS5 ROM keys leaked a while ago, but they’ve got so many other security features in place that it likely won’t be any time in the foreseeable future for an actual emulator.

Also you normally need alot more powerful system to emulate something than it needed to start with, so with AI eating all the hardware, might not even be practical when it does get one

The difference is that the emulation layer is smaller due to how similar the hardware is. This is why ShadPS4 got so good so fast compared to RPCS3. The PS5 is basically a mini-pc with proprietary software, it has nothing special to account for.

PS4 games can be emulated. Like Bloodborne runs at 4K 60 FPS on PC.

PS5 games tho? No shot.
