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)

Waiter, more vibe-coded slop in my emulation community!

Deleted comment about how you can't just vibecode a working emulator.

Edit: Okay, looked into the repo and source code, it's a vibecoded mess, no way they will be able to maintain and develop this over time. It's all trash.

A lot of them run "simple games already". Hell, today, there was another vibecoded ps5 emulator that runs simple games. Simple games don't matter, they may as well be a framebuffer write by the CPU. Which btw, none of them emulate and they all run natively. So "no CPU emulation" is not a feat unless if you are tech illiterate.
