A Youtube channel, Modern Vintage Gamer, has just revealed interesting facts about console games. The reason is, some games on the PlayStation can be played on the Xbox Series X.
But unfortunately, this doesn't answer fans' expectations of being able to play PS5 games on Xbox. Because the focus is more on classic games on the PlayStation 1.
Through an emulator called DuckStation, it allows players to increase the framerate of PS1 games and is implemented on the Xbox Series X. In fact, the emulator is able to increase the resolution up to 16 times from the original.
The DuckStation itself can run resolutions, even 4K 60fps. This has also been tried by the Youtuber and seems to work very well.
The 10-minute video features a number of classic games that run using emulators, from Final Fantasy 7 to Ridge Racer. In fact, the quality of the graphics, can be said to be better than the original version.
This emulator, available for any type of Xbox console, such as Xbox Series X, Series S or Xbox One. Even so, gamers must activate developer mode, in order to use it and may not be comfortable for some users.
In fact, fans have been debating the preservation of classic games for a long time. Due to the shift in the digital market, it raises big questions about how to back up some of those games, when the digital store later shuts down.
For example, the closing of PS3, PSP and PS Vita stores that had occurred. However, with the efforts of gamers, finally, PlayStation decided to keep the PS3 and PS Vita online stores.
With the advent of emulators, making classic games still playable. However, the legality of the practice is still a big question.
