The young version of me wanna say fuck yeah man homebrew and shit .

The current 44 years old version of me is like fuck it I have all the games I want anyway.

Kinda tempting to buy a PS5 pro and keep it on the side but man just a waste of money lol

Bruh, I'm still playing through stuff on Yuzu. But TBH, I can't think of a PS5 exclusive that I want to play, at least right now.

The people programming emulators do it for the knowledge and the challenge, not to make people happy.

If that's the case, then they should contact Sony and share their knowlage after they're done with the challenge

Question: The leaked keys are for PS5, Slim, Pro, or all of them?

Even if we had the ability to load Steam OS, wouldn't 16/18pro GB of total ram be an issue? Seeing that a lot of people are having issues with the steam machine 16 and 8GB split?

Its plenty to run 99% of games on steam

You have over 5GB more for gaming and higher memory bandwidth on both the PS5 and PS5 pro. So games would run better than on the steam machine

Brings me back that name. I remember he did a song saying he got buttfucked by Sony, and later took a very high profile job at one of the big tech giants. If memory serves me correct.

How is 24GB total of the Steam Machine, 5 GB less than 16 GB on the PS5? The PS5 has to share the 16GB between video/cpu/OS. We also can't assume how it will work other than what we have seen in the handheld space that uses unified memory pool as well. Yes the RAM is faster but still can't see how that would make it any better than the 24GB of the Steam Machine. I understand it could run most games fine, it seems like it could be an issue in running some ps5 games vs the pc counterparts due to optimization. I guess we have to see what happens…

Installing Steam OS on a PS5 if it were possible wouldn't be worth it for most games. The Native PS5 version is obviously going to run far better and yes the memory is far from ideal. Most games will still be able to run at least.

This video will give you a good idea how games would run though. PS5 APU's with manufacturing issues were repurposed into the AMD BC-250 which is the PS5 APU but with 6c/12t CPU instead of 8c/16t and 24CU GPU instead of 36CU. Obviously the PS5 without the disabled CPU/GPU cores would do a bit better, but it has the same 16gb GDDR6.
