Russian modder injects leaked DLSS 5 into Pac-Man, creating bizarre visuals

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Russian modder, Valery Kryzhanovsky, has successfully injected a leaked version of Nvidia's DLSS 5 technology into the classic MS-DOS game Pac-Man. This experimental project, running within the MAME emulator using ReShade and RenoDX, showcases bizarre visual alterations across four different rendering modes. While DLSS 5 is designed for modern 3D games, its application to 2D titles like Pac-Man results in distorted graphics, including the removal of ghost eyes, highlighting the technology's limitations and its meme-like use in unintended applications.
