Jailbroken PS5s now emulate PS3 discs with new AI-assisted emulator

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer named Swordpdf has created a new emulator, RPS5S3, that allows jailbroken PlayStation 5 consoles to run physical PlayStation 3 discs. This follows their earlier work, PS5SX2, which enabled PS2 game emulation on the PS5. While RPS5S3 is still in a test build phase and not yet publicly available on GitHub, several popular PS3 titles like Grand Theft Auto IV and Gran Turismo 5 have been shown to work. The rapid development of RPS5S3, completed in just two days, suggests significant AI-assisted coding was involved, marking another advancement in AI's impact on console emulation and potentially challenging Sony's control over its gaming ecosystem. AI

IMPACT AI-assisted coding accelerates the development of console emulators, potentially impacting the retro gaming market and challenging console manufacturers.
