PS5 Emulation becoming viable on lower end PCs!

[u/agente4242]

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.

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.

RTX5060 lower end?

Lower end for me is a rtx2080...

[u/agente4242 → u/marceloadrian]

I mean, those two are pretty similar... According to techpowerup a 5060 is only 28% ahead of the 2080

This hardware is almost on the level of the PS5 itself. Emulation has always required hardware that is noticeably more powerful than the emulated hardware, so in this case, it is lower-end.

"This video isn't available anymore"

that was fast

[u/agente4242 → u/69_________________]

Should be fixed now! A "/" just appeared in the url for some reason

Works fine

I played Astro Bot last year on the PS5 Pro and it was a really fun experience, does this emulation (or whatever it is) have full support for the Dualsense?

Trust me, if you are gonna play it, it has to be using full features.

[u/agente4242 → u/STB_LuisEnriq]

Yep, dualsense is fully supported. In fact, either a dualshock 4 or a dualsense is required in Astro games due to the touchpad mechanics. No way to get around it currently, as far as im aware.

[u/guinomim]

do you need a dualsense 5 to experience astrobot to the max? i only got an xbox controller

I have a feeling that static recomp is going to largely take the place of emulation, for enormous performance improvements.

[u/agente4242 → u/Pronoia2-4601]

I also hope so. Static recomps require far less CPU power.

Insane how quickly this is developing

5600GT is a very underrated VFM CPU. the GT series largely went under the radar

All digital future, even the console 👏

So I've seen a lot of these videos and I'm entirely onboard. Where abouts do I get access to this? Do I have to make a Claude account and get it to reverse engineer my game of choice, or is there some repositary of games in browser ready to go.

(I am not a narc)

[u/agente4242 → u/antman1983]

Can't link game files as I'd get banned. But the repositories for the emulator and game extraction tool are in the description of the video.

how does amd perform?

[u/MadMaxDbz]

Sony: hey guys remember when we said no more pc ports?

[u/Lionel_messi827]

Calling a pc with rtx 5060 a lower end is crazy

[u/Cookies3000]

I find these posts a bit misleading. Ive tried the emulator with Astro Bot too, with that certain fork of the emu and even the non RT fixes.

What nobody talks about in these posts is that shader compilation is a huge problem.

The game basically freezes, it drops to 0-5fps because the GPU has to wait for the CPU. And thats every time a new asset/animation or any other visual effect in general gets loaded. Its not a very playable experience.

Once I played thru a level before and I play it again its nice and smooth 60fps because its cached. You basically have to play thru the whole game once to have a decent experience the second time.

[u/PeachMan- → u/Cookies3000]

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.

cries in 6000 series :(

I have a 3080, bro I'm going to have to upgrade and take out a loan I hate this shit
