KytyPS5 (PS5 Emulator) can now run GTA V at 60fps for few minutes before crashing

Weird.
That's how the PC version was at launch for me.

Looking forward to SAMTIME referring to this as the "Kittai PS5"
And how many fps does it run after the crash?
Shine on, you crazy diamond.
Emulation of a system running x86_64 on an x86_64 system is like moronic Inception.
The issue is the proprietary graphics API needs to be emulated. Also OS calls.
Capitalism is amazingest
Genuine question, why is this downvoted? Or am I dummy?
Probably a bot
Same boat. Because a company abusing a hardware standard so much you basically have to emulate things, is the result of capitalism.
And you'll need 1 whole data center to run the emulator.
Isn't PS5 x86?
On a normal PC that's more like specialized virtualization rather than emulation. It should run decent.
It’s emulation. The CPU architecture is only one piece of the puzzle. The PS5 runs a custom operating system with custom graphics APIs and unified memory.
It’s a Zen 2 APU. It could run any other x86_64 OS in theory. There’s no need to emulate the whole system if you’re running it on an x86_64 machine. It shouldn’t be wholly impossible to just run it as a VM and save the overheard of translating instructions to the same instructions.
My reply to your comment would be the same one you replied to. That’s not how it works. The translation layer is required. Having the same clue architecture is not good enough to just run the games natively. If it were, Proton wouldn’t exist and Linux and Mac gaming would have been solved a decade ago.
You already don’t need to emulate the entire hardware system like you would with a PS3, but you still require a complex translation layer.
The PC running it has a Ryzen 7 9950X3D CPU and an RX 7900 XT GPU
Seems very CPU dependant.
To be fair it shouldn't take too much CPU as ps4/5 emulation relies a lot on translation rather as emulation because ps5 is just zen2 apu
That's pretty typical of emulators.
That was what I was gping to build before prices went crazy 🥲
Wtf is going on with the generic compatibility list?
When gta 6? I hope before PC release
Granted. PC release coming in 2049

Oh my pccccccccccccccccccc
Zero sympathy for people who don't browse the web with an ad blocker in 2026.
Okay? Unrelated to me. I have an ad blocker if that's what you mean.
They vibecoded ads in, too? Interesting.
