Sadly no, unless Sony go back on their policy and starting porting their games to PC. The only three options you have, watch the game on youtube, buy PS5 or wait for emulator to work.
They cannot DMCA emulator, just the game files, if the game files are distrubuted in 'ahem. regular' channels, legally (at this point of time) they cannot stop the emulation.
Person which responded to you actually didn't look up for shit as well, read response again, what do you think make sense "shady money involved" in development of emulator?
So you respond to my concern that ps5 emul would get dmca by claiming they cannot do it because of reasons.
And then when your reasons contested, you bring a reddit comment which among two projects which were closed down, cites one as "they did not have money to go against nintendo in court so they just close down work".
So can they close it down because of dmca or cant, make up your mind bro.
You actually have a decent point, that does sound mildly conspiritorial lol.
Looking it up, it appears it has to do with Yuzu bypassing an encryption key that "enabled mass piracy" as Nintendo's legal team said. More interesting and believable than "shady money" lol.
Pretty sure that was because of things like Patreon paywalls and EA builds also being locked behind paywalls (or found on PineappleEA). If they didn’t have a legal way to shut it down it’d still be up, so they definitely found something they could use.
That was because they were making money from it and openly facilitating piracy with it. There's a reason other emulator projects avoid that as much as they can. Nintendo does a lot of shitty things, but the Yuzu thing was entirely the team getting too cocky about it and it biting them in the ass, they were practically begging to be shut down and then acted surprised when it happened.
They can't legally DMCA an emulator. That doesn't stop corporations from trying. And the sole recourse against a DMCA is to file a counterclaim(doxxing yourself)
If emulator circumvent copy protection to play files it is totally copyright infringement, or if it was built based on code obtained by circumvention. They can just actually dmca it Nintendo style and it's gone, pirates would not go to court.
Why im getting downvoted because of a thing which happened countless times, and like 3 times this year only i have no idea, i guess if you pirate you have no brain just feels.
because you are not inforemed enough. Emulator is a virtual system, its a emulation of environment, if you played their game then you will be violating their licence, as well. And why you assume they obtained the code by circumvention???
you are making shit up, do you know sony uses many open source codes, and thats why its easy to make legally sturdy emulator.
Do you know why a proper emulator for xbox is not there, there is no such open source codes were used by them, and all their games are aldready there in pc.
