To access it, firmware no higher than version 6.72 will be required. MacDonald himself is not going to further study the emulator, but perhaps other enthusiasts will do it. It is believed that the same program is used to run classic games that are sold on the PlayStation Store.
This version of the emulator is probably optimized only for MediEvil Remake. I’m not really gonna look any closer at it. I had to patch some breakpoints out of the emulator to even get Silent Hill as far as you saw above. Wild Arms gets to the main menu but no further. Syphon Filter doesnt even get past the “989 Studios” logo. Details on how different games work on the emulator can be found here. You won’t be able to play without problems – in some games there are too many graphic artifacts and other emulation errors, while others, for example, Wild Arms and Syphon Filter, do not go further than the main menu or the initial logo. The famous blogger Lance McDonald shared a video on Twitter demonstrating the work of the original Silent Hill. They were able to launch WipeOut 3, Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot and Grand Theft Auto 2. The emulator was removed using a vulnerability in firmware version 6.72, released a year ago.
