I hope this thread doesn't exist yet, at least I haven't found a similar one.
In connection with the rumors that Sony wants to close the PS3/VITA store, a patent filed by Sony late last year might fuel further rumors about emulated games on the PS5.
Link to said patent
We are talking about emulated games where trophies can be unlocked.
Time for some speculation :
-can we hope for a more complete backwards compatibility after all
or
-will Sony "revive" old games, similar to PS2 games on the PS4 and market them as PS5 games in the store? (like GTA:3/VC/SA for example)
If there is something to it, the second approach sounds more logical to me, since I can't imagine that Sony would close the PS3/VITA store on the one hand, but make these games playable for free on the PS5 on the other.
Anyway, any kind of more widespread backwards compatibility would make me really happy.

A computer-implemented method assigns one or more trophies to a user. A game is emulated in response to a request from a client device. A trophy trigger is detected during emulation of the game by comparing a memory value of the emulated game to a predetermined value and assigning the one or more trophies to the user based on the detected trophy trigger.
