I wanted to try out Dune for the first time and it just didn’t power on. I am not ok. I took a look inside and cleaned it, but there’s no obvious loose connections. Today is a sad day for me

    Been quite a few years since I last dug in the subject, but from what I remember, Sony used for the PS1 an emulator called “POPS”, and Sony up to the Vita added hardware from the previous generation into the new console, but I don’t remember any mentions of them adding hardware further than a single generation.

    And a surprise to me, but apparently according to this wiki (cw: Fandom), the PS3 used some degree of emulation even for the PS2. Rather curious as to run PS2 games, the PS3 boots into a PS2 mode, which feels almost like a dual boot.
