      First of all - nothing runs under wine. You need to be a wizard to make anything work there. Hence we have proton that already preconfigured with everything you may need to run games\programs.

      Regarding this emulator - haven’t tested it , but it most certainly a bad idea: emulators often relay on obscure instruction sets to run as performant as possible, and in case of this “emulator” as I understand it, it more like a translation layer somewhat similar to wine itself (shadps4 works this way too). So by running it thru wine you looking at multiple layers to map ps5 x86 calls to windows x86 to then linux x86. Which is kinda meh and comes with CPU performance hit.

      Upd. And I get downvoted. Clearly anyone can install like, vscode on pure wine, without ever touching the wiki or winetricks. It just works and I’m the problem. Downvote me more, that will do it!

          Fair. I just hate damn thing. Been using linux since 2010 and till like, 2016 nothing ever worked in wine for me. It was always some weird library problem which was hellish experience to install and like, after that process you could hit roablock like “net4.5” which just wasn’t supported. And all of that just to launch installer, not even the program itself. Proton meanwhile just works.

          But yeah, even if it works, it will take a hit performance wise. Considering PS5 have somewhat fresh zen2 cpu with relatively high IPC, any additional layer can cause a problem. Not like, a problem for top of the line CPU with something like zen4 or zen5, but for anything weaker than that - absolutely.

            I get what you’re saying, but saying nothing works under wine is a bit disingenuous 😅 I wish I had the skill set understand what it is that breaks when wine doesn’t work. Unless someone has figured it out before hand I would have no clue bow to figure out what libraries to override or additional dotnet versions to install etc.
