I spent the whole Sunday on this, and it was one of the most productive Sundays I’ve had in a while. The mission was specific: close the loop on the simcade racing games that are hardest to emulate, the ones I’ve wanted to run properly for years, and only now got to a reliable state.

Two monsters sit at the top of that list. First, Driveclub on shadPS4. It’s a PS4 exclusive, never got a port, Evolution Studios was shut down, no remaster. To play it outside the original PS4, emulation is the only option, and PS4 emulation is still the most immature part of the ecosystem. This is by far the hardest on the list.
