This is all of course a very rudimentary GB emulator, not accurate at all.

> ROM game commands This phrase doesn't mean anything. The game list includes games that do not support PlayStation Link Cable, so this has to implement netplay the same way other emulators do: Both host and client emulate the game

My thoughts exactly, I didn't see anything on the paper addressing that. I suppose it's assumed that with the contributions of this one, future work can be done to make it faster.

No idea what "some of the input" means, or why you thought "Low Resolution Input" is disingenuous? It uses color, depth and subpixel motion vectors of 1-4 previous frames. All things that modern game engines can easily c

Except Nvidia has published pretty much nothing about their method.

Did you read the paper? Or the benchmarks at least? In its fastest mode, it takes like 18ms. Not even usable in real time if you target 30fps. Great start but definitely needs additional work to be usable in games.

I'll believe it when I see it :) Anyway, PS4 emulation isn't very affected by this. Only thing it would benefit from would be that you'd be able to decrypt the firmware (and therefore run the emulator) without needing a hacke

Still gotta emulate a very modern AMD GPU :) Just the shader translation (from GCN -> SPIR-V so it can be passed to the host gfx driver) is quite a challenging task actually. Not to mention the fact that the PS4 has an APU and utilizes U

Both games and the firmware are encrypted with several layers of encryption.

I know the dev and he isn't actually a student, his GitHub profile was just not updated. Not to say that there aren't many university students interested in challenging topics like emulator development - I am one myself and know s

You provide the emulator with decrypted modules/libraries (dumped from a hacked PS4) that originally reside in the encrypted firmware .PUP. I'm associated with PS4 emulation and the project, any other questions welcome.

It also has 2.9k stars on GitHub for some reason.

Except you don't need to have them _memorized_. You shouldn't. That's not the point.

Been a few weeks since we released this, but I figured that the HN audience might be interested.

That's because most GitHub activity is by frontend web devs. What about the rest of the world.

Pretty basic stuff (and very few of them), I expected more.

I use SmartGit. Way faster and more stable than SourceTree and GitKraken, in my experience.

What about weight? The Roadster is probably quite more more heavy than an F1, doesn't that play a big role in traction?

But where's the fun in that. Edit: Tried the demo, it does look pretty sleek admittedly.
