      You can play DOS games just fine right now, so yes it’s a good bet. And a far better bet than the PS6 being backwards compatible.

        The crazy thing for me is that I have a little handheld specific for dos games. The problem I run into every time is having to setup computer keyboard bindings for each game to play them using the built-in controller. I really want retroarch or another dos emulator to do profiles for different games and I haven’t seen that yet.

      Unless they change CPU architectures.

      And even then it’s no guarantee. Plenty of games needed support from the likes of GoG to run. Hell, I couldn’t even play Ex Machina because I had a HDR monitor and the game detected that and completely broke. Disabling HDR in Windows did nothing.

        well. there’s already winlator (basically box86 / wine-wrapper for android).
        Not as polished and far as Proton is, but the bones are there.

        A CPU architecture change wouldn’t be a deathblow.

        Ex Machina the movie or the 1984 “game”? That’s before Mario was even a thing.
