But Sunshine. How can we pirate PS5 games... when the PS5 has no games?

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago

console makers: you cant have roms

me: so you'll make all your games available to play right?

Links to the clones?

The story has a link to one of the GitHub repo clones.

I'd post it here, but I don't know what the rules for links are and I'm not trying to get banned.

We're cool here. Sidebar says no links to specific titles. But links to piracy sites are allowed I'm pretty sure. They have a whole wiki of them hosted by the mods.

[-] slainheirtax@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago

The article mentions and links this clone: https://github.com/MyLuxy/overdrive

[-] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Apparently the rules say you're not even allowed to ask for links. Whoopsie.

Sony wanted to go full digital, so we're going full digital ;)
