Minecraft is now rendering on a PS5 emulator. It's still heavily glitched, but this is another meaningful step for PS5 emulation. Current progress: • Main menu boots • World loads • Some blocks, like beds, render correctly • Basic rendering pipeline appears functional The biggest issue now seems to... show more

PS5 emulation just hit another exciting milestone. SharpEMU can now boot Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition all the way to the main menu, running at a smooth 60 FPS. Current progress: • Game boots successfully • Main menu renders correctly • Stable 60 FPS in the menu • UI is fully responsive • Controller input is working • Graphics render without major corruption • Debug performance overlay is active This may not look like much, but reaching a fully interactive 60 FPS menu is a huge step in emulator development. The usual progression is: Black screen → Logos → Menu → Gameplay → Playable. SharpEMU has now cleared another major hurdle on that journey. Credit:Discord/Arbis

PS5 emulation has officially entered the 3D gaming era. KytyPS5 can now boot and render commercial 3D PS5 games on PC at interactive frame rates. Current progress: • XIII (2020) runs at around 20–30 FPS • TMNT: Wrath of the Mutants is playable • Controller and keyboard input work • GTA V reaches the main menu • Built on the Vulkan graphics API • Boots games using Unreal Engine, Unity, and custom engines It's still far from perfect. Heavy graphical glitches, missing textures, and crashes remain common. But just a few months ago, many of these games wouldn't even boot. PS5 emulation is moving faster than many expected.

Kyty PS5 emulator keeps making impressive progress. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Wrath of the Mutants is now playable at around 22-24 FPS. Current status: • In-game • 22-24 FPS • Crashes on the first launch • Runs without further crashes after restarting I feel it's progressing at a much faster rate than sharpEMU, right?

Today we're taking a very early look at the progress being made on the Sega Dreamcast's very own port of Runescape Classic! If you weren't already aware of the work that developer, Lobotomy, has been doing, here's some footage captured from an emulator of some online play! It's still extremely early, and as with every ambitious port in the beginning, it still requires the 32MB RAM upgrade, has no audio, and runs like ass... So basically standard procedure! He's currently using our SDL2 back-end with software rendering, which explains the low framerate. Eventually it will move to HW accelerated graphics using the DC's PowerVR GPU, so the current low FPS is to be expected until that time. What IS a big deal is that even in this early stage, it's already able to connect to the online servers for cross-play and is fully playable with the mouse and keyboard! Stay tuned for future updates as Lobotomy continues his work!

Wuthering Waves PS5 Performance Test • Test Setup PS5 Slim (brand new, clean, no dust) Room temperature: 22°C with AC • Map Issue Yes, it's real. The new map is locked to around 2 FPS when opened from the menu, making it extremely laggy. • Stuttering Problems The game has severe stuttering. In some areas, it even freezes for 4–5 seconds, making the experience frustrating. • My Observation From my testing, the game appears to be running at a very high internal resolution on PS5 instead of relying on aggressive upscaling. For example, DLSS Quality at 1440p renders the game internally at approximately 1707×960 before upscaling it to 2560×1440. On PS5, however, it looks like the game is rendering at or near 2560×1440 internally and then upscaling to 4K. If that's true, it's an extremely demanding target for a base PS5. • Is This Fixable? Yes. If the game is indeed using such a high internal resolution, lowering it and using better reconstruction or dynamic resolution scaling could significantly improve performance. Running at such a high internal resolution on a base PS5 doesn't make much sense, and the game has suffered from performance issues for nearly 12 months. • Final Thoughts Kuro Games needs to address this. At this point, we can't keep blaming players, their hardware, or the engine. If the high internal resolution is the cause, it should be adjusted. If it isn't, then something else in the game's optimization is seriously wrong. #WutheringWaves #Gacha

$Great question! 🤔 How do you simulate *multiple* layers of glass/refraction in video games? In the last breakdown, I discussed how to create a glass shader in Unity URP. In essence, we were taking the render of the scene from the camera without any transparent objects. This is available in URP as the global _CameraOpaqueTexture. This is good enough for most use-cases, and more or less the classic way of doing it. 🔍 What is _CameraOpaqueTexture? As the name implies, there are no transparent objects rendered into this texture, so it's not possible by default to have something like a transparent-type ocean material/shader rendered through a refractive glass shader (which samples and distorts this texture to render on its surface, as if it's transparent). ⚠️ Why it’s tricky: It's much easier to sort without much further setup if you don't have refraction, and only a transparent material, because in that case you're not simulating the transparency yourself via sampling the rendered scene texture. But for refraction, it's required-- unless you want to go down the ray/path tracing route. You could simulate accurate, real dispersion... and that's about as expensive as it sounds, and it requires a rework of your entire rendering. --> 🚫 It's not a viable suggestion to offer. 📚 There are well-known terms regarding transparency sorting you can search up, but as you've specifically asked for refractive boxes, I'll discuss briefly about that. 🧱 Simulating layers of refraction: For this kind of rendering, you need some way to render the backfaces before rendering the front. And the backfaces that are rendered may contain whatever data you'd like for additional processing in the layer front-facing mesh render. 🧪 Examples: You could render the back face as a glass shader of its own, as an intermediate step after _CameraOpaqueTexture. Then you sample this texture instead and you end up with multi-layered refraction, "just like that". You can also render the back normals only, via a fully opaque shader, and use that to manually account for that during the front render. You could even bake in data needed for thickness in realtime. 🛠️ Without making it complicated for yourself, the most straightforward method is via render textures, and you can easily set some fractional resolution. Cameras in Unity have an open slot for target textures to render to. You can use custom render textures to process _SelfTexture2D. ⏱️ It's great to do low-resolution processing for more complex tasks, like blurring and caustics. You can get massive performance boosts, considering the square law and number of pixels/fragments that need calculations (quadratic scaling). 🚧 I've not fully exploited the possibilities myself, but research/development with PRISM is ongoing!$

XboxEra with that renowned accuracy lol. The Series X/S was NOT the best selling console worldwide the two quarters prior to ABK's acquisition close. It wasn't even the best selling in the US, Xbox's strongest territory. Circana US best selling HW 2023: Sep - PS5 Aug - PS5 July - PS5 June - PS5 May - Switch (PS5 2nd) April - PS5 March- PS5 Activision acquisition officially closed Oct 13th 2023, the two financial quarters prior were Q1 FY24 (July to Sep) and Q4 FY23 (March to May), here's how those stacked hardware sales wise for #Xbox. Q4 2023 -13% ❌ Q1 2024 -7% ❌ It's like a doctrine of covering Xbox as a platform, is misinformation and inaccurate market reads lol. If he's referring to the quarters before the ABK acquisition announcement was even made, that'd be far less relevant given #PS5 had severe stock shortages. But even then, it's STILL wrong lol. Circana US best selling HW 2021: Dec - PS5 (units Swith) Nov - Switch Oct - Switch Sep - PS5 Aug - PS5 (units Swith) July - PS5 (units Swith) For the record, the reason I'm only sharing US data is because Xbox performs far worse in Europe and Japan relative to the other console platforms. So if they're not even leading in the US, the gap globally is going to be far less in their favour.

This traffic circle has been a long-standing pain point for me on FSD. As you can see, the car consistently drives in the bike lane here. I’ve documented this behavior before on FSD 12, 13, and now 14. The issue appears to stem from outdated map data. This section of the circle used to function as a two-way roadway. At the time, there was no bike lane and vehicles traveled in the space FSD still prefers today. Since the redesign, that area is now a dedicated bike lane, but FSD doesn’t reliably recognize the change. Depending on the version, it will occasionally handle this correctly, but most of the time it does not. This is currently the only issue I consistently experience with FSD. It’s not safety critical. The car will move if a cyclist, vehicle, or object is present, but reliance on outdated map data in locations like this needs to improve.

Our city has traffic and crowds now, also a ton of bugs in it. Day 34 of building our own open world action game with a loop of AI agents. Not every day is a clean win, the agents are still deep in the loop, but the streets are finally alive. Today's progress: - traffic on the roads, pedestrians on the sidewalks. - the cars keep driving through walls, the pedestrians ignore every rule, and it all looks so glitched right now. - texture also looks weird. - Good news FPS is pretty high Let's give it another day to see how well they will solve it. In the meanwhile let me know what kind of prompt you would like me to run to fix this.

Mikel Arteta on Jurriën Timber and William Saliba: "Jurriën is progressing really well, he's on the pitch, we are ramping up now certain actions and especially the volume and the load, and I think he's in a good trajectory, but there's still a few weeks to go. And Willy, as we all know, it's more a long-term injury." Asked if Timber could be back before the international break: "I don't know. We have to wait and see. He needs to start to train with the group in the next week or so, hopefully, and then see how he progresses from there. But obviously it's been a long-term issue right now and we want to make sure that every step that we take is the right one. He feels right to do that and it's such an important play for us."

Another Ukrainian city is being wiped out right now while the world looks away Here’s what’s happening in Kramatorsk: • Glide bombs & FPVs pound the city to make them unliveable. • Civilians evacuated every day but not everyone is leaving. • I spent the night with power station workers risking their lives to keep the lights on. Every shift is their own ‘fuck you’ to Russia. • The war started here in 2014 & locals spent a decade fighting for their freedom - they wont give up without a fight. • This region isn't some industrial backwater, it's a beautiful landscape with a rich, vibrant history. • And the difficult truth: Russia is still advancing. Slowly, brutally, but advancing. It’s uncomfortable to say. But it’s true. Pretending otherwise doesn’t help Ukraine. If the world stops watching because it thinks Russia is losing, Russia gets exactly what it needs: time. This is what’s happening in Donbas right now. Watch my full report. 🇺🇦

MOTHER OF GOD. Lobotomy just got RUNESCAPE running and connecting to the server on a freaking SEGA DREAMCAST. This is still so so so early that it just literally barely started compiling, runs like ass, and of course requires the 32MB double RAM mod and has only been tested so far on an emulator. ...but that is exactly how a some of the most impressive, ambitious DC ports out there started, including Grand Theft Auto 3 and now Counterstrike... Here's the fork for this port:

Why did XBOX use a PS5 Pro to market their flagship IP? > First I thought they wanted to show the prettiest version of Halo, so they chose the most powerful console on the market. But then... why not just use a high end PC? It would look even better right? > Then it hit me. Showing the game running flawlessly on PlayStation hardware is a direct sales pitch to the PS5 playerbase. Microsoft knows exactly where the money is. A huge chunk of sales for this are gonna come from PlayStation owners who've never even played a Halo game before. Putting the PS5 Pro front and center tells Sony fans that this isn't some lazy afterthought port. It's fully optimized for their devices. Zero pride. 100% pragmatism. I respect it, but I'm not sure if this was a good move for the Xbox brand. Do you think it was the right call?

Dylan Patel says the memory shortage is not a normal cycle "Memory capacity is only growing 20, 30% a year for the next three years. And yet, demand is doubling, is doubling...memory prices are going to keep soaring." "Our point there was memory isn't a shortage, and this is not a short-term shortage. It's a shortage that's going to last years." "Memory we've had the pricing go up like 4x and it's going to go up another 2x, 3x again, in addition to capacity growth. We talked about how KV cache was going to explode because of reasoning. And therefore memory was going to be the biggest winner." "We're still not at 85, 90% gross margins for memory, but we'll get there. And then at some point from there, it'll also halve back down to like 70s or maybe even lower."

This ad went mega viral. Why? Kindness is a debt that never expires. This narrative hits so hard because it goes right to the heart and doesn't use rationality. This story is like a huge reset button for our humanity in a digital world that seems to get colder every day. It is a reminder that technology may define our time, but empathy will define our legacy. The reason this goes viral isn't simply because it's "touching", it's because it shows that people really want to think that what they do counts. It shows that even with all the noise, we can still be moved, and that's a stronger force.
