I've heard rumors about PS3/XBOX360 emulation being far off, but now it seems closer. If you want to play Gran Turismo 5 on your PC, it might still be achievable depending on the tools you use.

To some extent yes, but not ideal unless you have a very powerful gaming setup because the CPU architecture is quite different from standard systems, which can strain performance. You might want to search for an open-source PS3 emulator on Google and try it out yourself; I'll stop here after that.

It appears the info is limited to that specific page from early February. It's unlikely it will be released soon, but if you own the game, the only cost would be your time.

It has improved significantly since I stepped away from the emulation world.

The 8700K offers solid performance for emulators, providing a good balance between speed and stability.

The biggest challenge when trying to recreate anything from before the PS2 is the huge power needed to do it with standard techniques. Comparing Nintendo DS emulators to the device’s capabilities shows how difficult a PS3 project could really be. It all depends on the specific emulator; in very few situations using older hardware might actually work better.

That's correct. The process also relies a lot on the specific console. For instance, emulating the GameCube is simpler than the PS2 even though they belong to the same era and have greater capabilities. I think the same applies with the N64 and PS1. It really depends on the architecture?

the only viable option is RPCS3, which is open source. thus far, individuals have successfully recreated much of it, though few of these versions are reliable. https://rpcs3.net/compatibility GT5 is still unable to progress beyond the menus
