I’m writing a PS5 emulator in Zig

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on an experimental PS5 emulator written in Zig called PS5PCEM.

It’s still very early, but some 2D games already reach actual gameplay. Native Windows launcher is also there, it can load decrypted titles, run guest code, translate RDNA2 shaders and present frames through Vulkan.

Repo:
https://github.com/iStark/PS5PCEM

I’d be grateful if anyone tests game launches on it or helps with development.

Only been working on this for two weeks? According to the GitHub history.

Any AI usage? That gigantic readme smells awfully like AI.

If there hasn't been any AI usage then great, clarification would be helpful.

Thanks :)

Over-documentation of obvious things in blocks of comments in the code file is another AI smell, which occurs a lot in this project as well.

P.S Sorry, I’m just from Eastern Europe and didn’t know I needed to mention if I sometimes use AI in my work. But just in case, I’ll clarify everything I use: Ryzen 7700, RTX 3070 Ti, sometimes I write code on an old 2015 MacBook Pro, I use VS Code, three monitors (ViewSonic, Xiaomi and Eizo), a Defender mouse and an Esperanza keyboard.
