PS5 emulator can now run the console version of GTA V at up to 60 FPS on PC, but quickly crashes as tweakers continue to optimize — PS5 emulation advancing at an astronomical pace leading up to GTA VI launch

Can we really play GTA VI on PC before an official port?

    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.

    I think this is their point, just worded better. Wine and Proton are not “emulators”, but translation layers like you are describing.

    Although I have no idea what they are talking about in regards to virtualization - being able to install Linux on a PS5 doesn’t get me any closer to running PS5 games on Linux, and I can’t even imagine the virtualization headaches to get the PS5 OS running in a VM with enough access to the hardware to not blow chunks (and honestly sounds a lot closer to true hardware emulation than not).

      My problem with their point isn’t really the semantics as much as that they seem to be under the impression that it should “just work” when we can clearly see by the above article, it doesn’t.
