MODS/EMULATORS

You can only re-experience the classic Playstation games in their full glory on the PC, not on Playstation Classic
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/you-can-re-experience-the-classic-playstation-games-in-their-full-glory-only-on-the-pc-not-on-playstation-classic/
Earlier this month, we informed you about Playstation Classic using the mobile version of the PCSX emulator. Still, things got even worse today as it was revealed that a number of games that will be included in it are based on their PAL versions which were running at 50hz. Not only that, but even the NTSC versions appear to have framepacing issues, resulting in an underwhelming experience.
To be honest, I find it really ironic that the official Playstation Classic is using an open source emulator and that it is offering inferior versions of its games. In fact, and according to earlier reports, Playstation Classic runs the games worse than the original Playstation console.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s Buster Sword comes to Monster Hunter World thanks to this mod
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/final-fantasy-7-remake-buster-sword-comes-to-monster-hunter-world-thanks-to-this-mod/
While Final Fantasy 7 Remake has not been released – and to be honest I don’t expect it to come out anytime soon – Final Fantasy fans can now use Cloud’s Buster Sword in Monster Hunter World. Created by modder ‘UberGrainy’, this new Buster Sword will replace other weapons and will let you use Cloud’s iconic sword.
The modder used DemonZariche and DoubleBrewski’s Oblivion/Skyrim Buster Sword model as a base (completely remapped and retextured), and the handle texture is from Phate3’s Dragonslayer. The blade length is slightly shorter than it should be, so that it doesn’t clip through the floor, and some parts still shine as if round when they should be flat, but they’re not that noticeable and he was close to the polygon limit of the sword.
