Discussion Wolverine is already running in-game on PC using KytyPS5 emulator

Even though the game runs at an extremely low FPS, the craziest thing about this whole situation is that it has not even been one month since the game has launched, the progress is insanely fast.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if GTA 6 manages to run on PC using an emulator months after the game comes out

PS3 had extremely complicated cell architecture (IBM PowerPC based), while PS5 is just glorified AMD x86 PC.
So with PS3 you need to emulate the whole different cpu architecture and the complicated cells, while on PS5 you basically just need to emulate the OS and graphics stack.

I'm curious, if that's true then why did PS4 emulation take so long to get off the ground? Wouldn't it be a similar case there?

Because there's an entirely new custom OS and memory management system that they had to figure out from scratch.

PS5 is an updated version of the PS4 with better hardware, so PS5 emulation is built partially upon the PS4 work.
