KytyPS5 emulator shows Demon’s Souls approaching 60 FPS

KytyPS5 is releasing automated builds on GitHub almost every day. The project is a free, open-source PS5 translation layer for Windows and Linux that uses a modified version of the Kyty PS4 emulator. In testing on an Intel i5 14600K and an RTX 5070, GAMER NO 1 captured footage showing Demon’s Souls running at almost playable speeds and Astro Bot reaching 40 FPS. Marvel’s Wolverine reached 40 FPS in cutscenes but dropped to between 10 and 15 FPS during gameplay, while SAROS booted at low frame rates. These results were not fully playable, despite using top-tier hardware. The KytyPS5 screenshot gallery also shows Cyberpunk 2077 and MLB The Show 23 running. Experimental macOS support is available for x86-64 on Apple Silicon using Rosetta 2 and MoltenVK. Another experimental emulator, SharpEmu, is being written in C#, though reports say its progress is not as rapid.
