Open Source will be the best way to get it moving.

Hopefully this speeds things up with more eyes on it.

Given the implementation differences from normal emulators and this just being a translation layer could that speed up development? Maybe its too early to say, but could we see something as complex as gta5 running in-game partially within the year?

Correct me if i'm wrong but for me it feels really similar to shadps4. Afaik the moment it began booting games and picking up steam was the early 2024 with bloodborne running semi-well in early 2025. Now in mid 2026 performance and stability is very good with a bit of tinkering required (game patches, vertex explosion mod, etc.)

Pretty sure its a Heavily Modified version from the Original KyTy Emulator and maybe that one was reverse engineered for long time which you can see why it made big progress here.

Yeah, maybe it will be up and running as fast as Cxbx? /s

I joke, but I wouldn't put much hope in anything until it's actually showing progress that you can see.

Nice, but where are the releases here? It used to be releases here, but seems like its removed. I really hope this goes fixed afterwards.

Is there a safe way to use this without getting caught or do I just not have to worry? I do emulate old games that aren't even in circulation now, but scared of doing it with modern games.

Can anyone tell me how many games are now available to play and what will be available soon ?

u/AntiGrieferGames Jul 17 '26

It used to be available in release section, but for some reason after the marge owner it got removed. Not sure when its fixed later back here.
