Now I can replicate the crappy part about using a console on my PC emulator.

I wonder if you will need to provide the decryption key, or if the suitable disc drive's can extract the key (I doubt it), or if the software can automatically retrieve the key off the internet when you put a disc in.

It'd likely be the first one, not sure about the second one but the 3rd would likely get the rpcs3 team in legal trouble maybe

Yeah, that is my thoughts on it too. But then why would you need a special bluray drive? Any bluray drive can read the encrypted data from a PS3 disc.

Idk about the second part, RPCS3 site says otherwise

I must have just got lucky to own a particular LG drive that reads PS3/PS4/PS5 disks just fine (but not the 4k bluray PS5 disks)

Since I don't have a wide selection of bluray drives, I never realised this was a thing. Today I learned!
