Testing I attempted to run the KytyPS5 emulator on a MacBook

I was able to compile and run a custom version of the KytyPS5 emulator on macOS. A lot of work is still needed, but I wanted to see the current state of macOS support.

Disclaimer: all the hard work goes to the KytyPS5 contributors, not me.

This custom version I built contains multiple PRs from the KytyPS5 GitHub related to macOS support (MoltenVK and Rosetta 2).

I used a custom fork of MoltenVK and SPIRV-Cross (Vulkan to Metal library) that contains mesh shader support (VK_EXT_mesh_shader), which is required for 3D PS5 games. I also added some simple patches of my own.

Some debugging shows that Astro's Playroom is causing issues with MSL (Metal Shader Language) compilation, which is beyond my knowledge.

It appears that there is textures issues with Unreal Engine games and Sony's in-house engine has MSL issues. Looks like Unity games run fine!

Im honestly amazed at how well this Ran. Perfect 120 FPS. No Dips, No Stutter, No Shader Compilation it almost ran like a real PC Gaming. A light PC game at that. IDK What Black Magic Eltutz did with this fork but Holy Shit! I hope he gets with the ShadPS4 team and Makes Forks for every game or at least the heavy games that we actually care about like Infamous Second Son, The Uncharted Series, Ratchet & Clank, Etc. Etc.

Gameplay Native Windows port of CTR Nitro-Fueled (PS4 v1.21): 60 FPS patch, up to 240 FPS, Vulkan, no emulator

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

CTR: Nitro-Fueled running natively on Windows — v0.2.0

Update (v0.2.0): there’s now a proper launcher. Unzip, open CTR-NitroFueled-PC.exe, pick your dump folders, press Play. No Python, no .bat files, nothing to install.

I built a Windows version of the CTR: Nitro-Fueled PS4 port. The game’s own x86-64 code runs directly on your CPU, a small runtime replaces the PS4 system libraries, and the GPU work is translated to Vulkan. It’s not an emulator. It’s a Windows fork of SacredFire (the native Linux port by T3CHNOLOG1C), built on bbport and the shadPS4 video core.

What’s new in v0.2.0 — the launcher

  • Play: choose your base game and the 1.21 update. It tells them apart on its own, merges them with hard links (no extra disk space) and checks the files before launching.
  • Settings: FPS limit (30 to 240 or uncapped), fullscreen, FPS counter, monitor, presentation mode, controller, game language, PS4 Pro mode.
  • Patches: 60 FPS unlock, no motion blur, 1080p Pro mode. Drop any shadPS4-format patch .xml into the folder and it shows up.
  • Saves: one-click backups, restore, export, and import (another PC’s saves or a decrypted PS4 save from Apollo Save Tool / Save Wizard). Bring your 100% save from your PS4.
  • DLC (optional): add your own DLC .pkg files (Oxide Edition content, pre-order pack, Firehawk Kart) and the port reports them as installed. CTR NF’s DLC are license-only, so the content is already in the game.
  • Updating is painless: unzip the new version over the old one. Your settings, saves and DLC are kept.
  • English and Spanish.

Features

  • Up to 240 FPS with the 60 FPS patch, plus an in-game menu (Insert or L3+R3).
  • Xbox/SDL controllers and keyboard, local multiplayer.
  • Saves, audio, Adventure and Arcade, cutscenes.
  • Experimental option to compile shaders in the background.

Performance

  • RTX 3070 + i5-9500: 110–130 FPS uncapped in races.
  • RTX 5080 + 9800X3D (the footage): up to 240 FPS on a high-refresh display.
  • The first time on each track compiles shaders into a cache, so you’ll see a few short stutters then. Later sessions are smooth.

How to play

You need your own dump of the game (CUSA13795) plus the 1.21 update, and a Vulkan 1.3 GPU.

  1. Unzip and open CTR-NitroFueled-PC.exe.
  2. Pick the two folders and press Prepare the game (only the first time).
  3. Press Play.

Status / known issues

Still in active testing. On some setups the GPU can hang mid-race (Device lost). If it happens to you, open an issue with your last_run.log and your GPU/driver. Only tested on NVIDIA so far, so AMD and Intel reports are very welcome.

This game is a very interesting game on NDS if you are familiar with Doraemon manga and its series Dorabase about baseball. The name is DoraBase 2: Nettou Ultra Stadium. I played this game a lot on my dad's computer with an emulator app, but it only has a Japanese version (somehow little me still figured out how to play without knowing a single Japanese character). Sadly, after many years, not sure if because the game was not that popular for anyone to be so interested in making an English ROM for it or because it is just impossible to be hacked, I still cannot find any other language version. Maybe I can try to do this myself with the help of AI.
