10 years ago There's no other way to do it. No computer, aside from some supercomputers, can handle the full scope of the PS4 through pure emulation. Realize that PS4EMX is an emulator, not a virtual machine. The entire x86 instruction set is going to be emulated. Virtual machine-like properties can be integrated, but the entire program is planning on being an emulator for the most part. We're lucky if we can even manage to emulate the entire boot process on any modern computer at a reasonable frame rate.
I think that the proposed idea of integrating an OpenCL shading parser would slow things down too much, and won't do much in the favor of performance between threading. Plus, it will essentially downgrade the textures, slow things down even more than they already are expected to be, and cause many graphical glitches.
