The PS5 comes to the PC, now in addition to emulating games you can emulate its graphical interface
Lately we have seen a multitude of projects for the console PlayStation 5from running the Linux operating system (and emulators on it), to playing games on the Nintendo Switch. But. Would it be possible to run the PlayStation 5 operating system on other devices? The community has done its thing again and has turned a PC into a PlayStation 5 running Sony’s console operating system on a computer.
The PS5 operating system arrives experimentally on a PC
On this occasion it has been, on the contrary, instead of executing Linux on a PS5 to turn it into a desktop computerit has been possible to execute the PlayStation 5 operating system on a computer to turn this into the Sony console. The PSXTech video shows the operating system interface in its startup part, with the usual language selection and the first configurations that are made when turning on the console for the first time.
The PS5 interface works through an emulator
But contrary to what many think, the video that has circulated on Reddit It does not show the complete operating system, but rather its graphical interface through an emulator. At the moment only the interface has been able to start, the possibility of launching games through menus is still in development. It would be interesting if after these menus a PS5 emulator could be run to complete the console experience on the PC.
The video barely lasts 1 minute and you have it below.

I dedicate most of my free time to video games, contemporary and retro, on the more than 20 consoles I have, in addition to the PC.
