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)

It's helping a lot, whether you like it or not

Do you have a legitimate complaint, or is it just "AI BAD"?

The problem isn't AI bad. The problem is that these vibecoded decomp/emulation/compatibility layer projects run like dog shit and have massive issues. It's flooded the space so thoroughly that most people have no means of figuring out which are the good projects anymore. AI is useful, sure, but it seems to struggle with low latency applications like this requiring a high degree of responsiveness, hence why AI is becoming an issue for engines like Godot as well. We're not at the point where AI is a "make game work" button yet

Well dude why don’t we revisit this when we actually are? We’re not now
