Behold 22 Minutes of Demon’s Souls Remake, Running at 4K on PC via KyTyPS5
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/behold-22-minutes-of-demons-souls-remake-running-at-4k-on-pc-via-kytyps5/
YouTube’s ‘Unreal Gaming’ has shared two videos, showcasing Demon’s Souls Remake and Astro Bot running on what appears to be the latest version of KyTyPS5. These two are among the very few PS5 games that never came out on PC. So, let’s take a look at them.
To capture these videos, the YouTuber used an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080. What’s also interesting here is that he included a performance overlay, which provides us with some additional details.
As we can see, the CPU and GPU were underused in both games. This means the low performance is caused by optimization issues, not a CPU or GPU bottleneck. This is important to note as the above CPU and GPU may be able to run these PS5 games at 60 FPS once the emulator matures.

https://www.dsogaming.com/news/denuvo-admits-defeat-files-lawsuit-against-cracker-voices38/
Now, here is something that made me laugh. Irdeto/Denuvo has admitted defeat by filing a lawsuit against the cracker voices38. This is the first time I’ve seen Denuvo or Irdeto sue someone for cracking their games. To me, this is the definition of admitting defeat. Instead of improving its protection, Denuvo has resorted to suing the person who has been cracking it.
>> The weirdest part is that they don’t know who is behind the voices38 name.
