Plus, they want to compete with the Switch. So it's not going to be good for any newer emulation. It is either going to be okay for a year or two and then struggle with its own games, like the current Switch or it's going to be DOA because Sony can't see and plan further than the tips of their fucking noses.
Something like this happened to my Logitech mouse. I had my settings saved to the onboard memory. Once I deleted and re-saved the profile onboard, it worked again. Maybe worth trying.
I've heard of people having similar experiences on Mastodon as well. Seems like these smaller communities of early adopters tend to simply be more active and pleasant to interact with.
What happened to Empress or whatever they were called?
