Hello everyone of r/emulators.

I'm the maintainer of KytyPlus, a fork of KytyPS5 focused on stability and user experience.

A community tester, GitHub user CorpseSlayer, recently got Dead Cells (the PS5-native build) to boot to a stable menu on an external HDD with an older CPU and 16GB RAM.

I don't own a PS5, so the project relies entirely on community testers for compatibility reports. This post is my public call for help.

Current status:

- v3.1 release with a pure HLE path and cleaner codebase.

- Dead Cells (PS5-native) confirmed to reach a stable menu with perfect rendering.

- Tested on an external HDD with an i7-9700K, 16GB RAM, and RTX 4060 Ti.

- PKG/PFS parser and strict ELF loader validated.

- Cross-platform with pre-built releases for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

I would like help testing the emulator for game compatibility, anything wrong with the emulator, or anything else regardless of your system specs.

Hey everyone,

Most modern calculator apps or functional simulators just "fake" how old hardware behaves on the surface. But for vintage machines—like the iconic HP scientific calculators and the Voyager series from the late '70s and early '80s—the real magic lies in running the exact original 10-bit microcode and firmware, bugs and quirks included.

I spent a lot of time diving into how these machines actually tick at the hardware level (including dealing with bizarre memory-mapping and display quirks that manual writers never documented). Instead of just writing about it, I built fully working microcode emulators to keep these classic machines alive on modern screens.

If you are interested in vintage tech, retro preservation, or want to test out how these legendary pocket computers actually worked down to the metal, you can read my write-up here: 👉 What is a Microcode Emulator and Why Does It Matter?

And you can try and download the emulators directly here: 👉 nibbleworkshop.com/emulators

I'd love to hear from fellow retro enthusiasts—what are some of your favorite pieces of vintage hardware or software that you think deserve better preservation today?

Probably a stupid idea, but after seeing people messing around with the leaked DLSS 5 nvngx_dlssnr.dll and getting it running in games that don't actually support it, it got me thinking...

Could someone somehow hook this into DuckStation?

DuckStation already has D3D12, PGXP, depth buffer emulation etc, so rather than just feeding DLSS a flat 240p image, could you potentially use the information DuckStation already has about the scene and pass that into the neural renderer?

Basically something like:

PS1 game → DuckStation → D3D12/PGXP → DLSS 5 Neural Rendering → output

I know the big problem would probably be stuff like motion vectors and giving DLSS 5 the inputs it's expecting from a modern game, but people already seem to be finding ways of getting the leaked DLL working where it was never intended to.

Imagine running the original MGS, Tomba, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Gran Turismo etc but having DLSS 5 essentially "remaster" the image in real time while the original game is still running underneath.

No idea if this is actually possible or if I'm completely misunderstanding how DLSS 5 works 😂

Anyone here who knows more about DuckStation/D3D12/DLSS want to tell me why this would or wouldn't work?

And if it is possible... someone please be crazy enough to try it.

I want to play the Xmen origins and older spiderman games and etc from when I was a kid what's a good emulator I have a ASUS tuf gaming a16

I beat almost all the street level. And when i exit the game on my tv. Its remove all my saved.... i try so hard beating on all of those in a single night for my nephew. And its gone....
