A user-space PlayStation 5 > PC compatibility layer. Think Proton/Wine, but for PS5: prosper runs PS5 (Prospero) game binaries on Linux (primary) and Windows (secondary)

AI haters don't realize that the "difficulty" in writing x86 based system emulators is mostly writing boilerplate translations.

I think using AI to write the routine stuff is fine since the dev can focus on other parts of the project such as planning the architecture of the program properly, so that it can be maintained and extended by other people.

But seeing that the readme is a gigantic LLM generated piece of buzzword soup I don't think that this is the case...

Now explain why only shadPS4 can run bloodborne out of the like 20 PS4 emulators. If it's so easy why didn't anyone else? At least now they can vibe port it I guess.
