I bet, Lisa Sue's failed CPU( PS3 cell crap) is still a nightmare to work on

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind peoplekind.
That PS4 menu music is so nostalgic.

Bloodborne? At this time of the year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your PC?

Nice. This will fly through development compared to RPCS3 (which itself is magical 
).

I guess the developers' insight is just not high enough yet.

People are meming but I truly feel the only reason we're getting games like Spider-Man, TLoU, Uncharted etc on PC is because Sony saw what RPCS3 was doing and went "shit we need to act so we can still make money, our grip on our exclusivity is starting to slip" and the rest is history.

Sony is stupid if they dont port this game to PC, the clock is ticking.

yeah... one got nothing to do with another.x86 PCs emulating a x86 Jaguar game console.
Now to the other 99 differences between platforms

"I understand people saying "it's black screen", it is. However, RPCSX is a new PS4 emulator and for it to boot a triple A game like this in a short time is something huge even if it's a black window, there's a lot of interesting things happening behind this black screen, engine, game assets and libraries are all loading, no significant errors there, I've let the emu run for sometime to show that it's not crashing, this is good progress. The status is not "nothing", that's when an emu crashes/exits but Bloodborne has a persistent window and CPU+GPU usage going up 80% making fans go loud, You can say the status is "boots" but with no graphics yet, hope this cleared the confusion."
His response to that.

IIRC take away all of Sony's bells and whistles and the Cell is actually a pretty standard Power PC design and quite easy to emulate. The problem instead is the RSX GPU which was a completely custom thing done by NVIDIA with a little in the way of documentation.
Also X86 is actually notoriously hard to emulate. There is just so much stuff in it that you have to keep track of and there is a reason why it took so long for us to get a proper OG Xbox emulator.

Not necessarily, unfortunately. Xbox 1 was considered to be made of "off- the-shelf" PC parts, but it took a long time to get working sheils for it.
Even though much of a machine can be familiar, it still had custom features/approaches, and I assume that means they actuality have to emulate it rather than just translating instructions from one chipset to a compatible newer one.
(...Or, what Kadve just said)

AMD is now to blame for Ken Kutaragis doing?

I guess that is what I am wondering, if translating instructions would be a possible path.

When she sold that CPU design to Sony she was at IBM

Not so easy as direct execution as it needs to execute within the OS(Windows) which is not the same as PS4 native execution. Easier with a VM and translation for PS OS calls and GPU calls(may not be straight forward as its a customized APU), other than that there's the less performant option of translating each instruction.
I'm not sure which route they took.

Naw, this emulator has been around for years, not "like two months".
"This emulator is not technically new, as it has been touted by its creator DH (founder of the RPCS3 PS3 emulator) since at least 2021."
Also, booting=/=running.

Sources on that. I been searching for it and her name never comes up regarding Cell. She might been with IBM at the time but it wasnt her personally selling it...what a dumb take. Also her name is Lisa Su, and not Sue.
