    Wish I could actually use the patch on my PS5. Or can I? Can you softmod the PS5 or would I need to buy something to solder to the mainboard?

    I don’t think my PC could actually achieve 60fps if I emulated it.

    I think at this point that the dev has said only his website was taken down, solely because he used “Bloodborne” on it. The actual patch is fine, and can be freely shared, as I understand it.

    And it’s still accessible through the Wayback Machine soooo

      Cough… Ahem…

      I dug this out of my history, and cannot recall if this included the mod or not… However, the PS4 emulator software (I got mine directly from the Discovery app repository on linux (flatpak maybe?)) seems pretty much built for this purpose, and made the patch installation process incredibly easy. It was all built into the emulator.

      If the emulator software itself (or the patches it retrieves) were removed, I don’t quite know exactly how to re-host that…

        That’s another perspective.

        “Look it’s perfect! No bloodborne 2, no remaster, no mods, and no anime!”

        Meanwhile fans just want to share Fandom with new people’s cause it felt like a very new expirence even amongst souls games.

    What is the DMCA argument here? Does anyone know what was alleged by Sony?

    It would need to be either using copyrighted code or circumventing copy protection. Neither seems likely for a frame rate mod.

      If a publisher doesn’t want modders improving the value of their product, I don’t feel too inclined to argue with them. There are no shortage of other games from more-amenable-to-modding publishers that could benefit from mods.

          That doesn’t fix the problem here though, which is that a specific distribution source took it down.

          If you want to fight Sony, go for it. If you ask for funding for a lawsuit, I’ll probably contribute. If you just redistribute over P2P, that’s cool too.

          Honestly, I an surprised that Nexus Mods hasn’t started a tracker yet.

    Sony must be nearing some kind of announcement in time for the 10-year anniversary of Bloodborne’e release

    So they kind of stole the idea from him? It’s a serious copyright issue
