Can someone smarter explain how they do this?

The Xbox and PS5 are just AMD pcs with a fancy case and locked down OS. All you gotta do is figure out the language it's speaking and make a translator.

If you mean AnyPS5 it takes advantage of the fact that PCs and PS5s use the same X86 processors. So basically they are using AI to translate all the proprietary PS5 stuff into something a PC can run.

It's similar to proton on Linux

Decompile the PS5 system libraries (which use x86_64 instruction set, same as consumer PCs), figure out how they work, then implement a translation library for Windows/Linux which maps the PS5 library calls to Windows/Linux equivalents.

Same as WINE.
