External low-level emulation modules are neither required nor planned. Development is currently focused on expanding game compatibility and improving boot reliability. Windows and Linux are the primary target platforms and receive the most testing. macOS support is experimental. The emulator is built for x86-64 and runs on Apple Silicon under Rosetta 2, with Vulkan provided by MoltenVK. A small number of titles have been verified in-game on Apple Silicon hardware; see Building on macOS. Community game test results are available in the KytyPS5 Compatibility List. ## Bugs and Issues Compatibility, stability, and performance can vary between versions. You may encounter crashes or graphical glitches, so please include the version you tested when reporting an issue. ## Screenshots Astro Bot Saros Neptunia ReVerse SILENT HILL: The Short Message Demon's Souls UFC 6 And many more... ## Contributing Testing games and submitting detailed bug reports are useful ways to contribute. Search existing issues first, then use the **Game Emulation Status Report** template and attach the complete log file. **Pull requests for general fixes, architectural changes, or refactoring that do not address a concrete bug or launch problem in a specific game will be automatically closed.** **Large, unfocused commits or pull requests that bundle unrelated changes without a clear purpose or game-related benefit will also be automatically closed.** Keep each PR focused. Name the affected game, describe the exact problem, and provide evidence showing what the change fixes. Windows and Linux are the primary target
