"The technical side of this supposed backwards compatibility system sounds pretty crazy. Essentially, it allows the machine — the PS5, in this case — to mimic the behaviour of previous consoles using multiple processors. In other words, when an old game is booted up, the PS5 "tricks" the software into thinking that it's running on its original device. Again, it sounds rather ambitious."
Oh, you mean literally emulation? Also known as nothing new.
