A PS1 or PSX would be helpful in the title. I too expected a retro game implementation. PS4 and Dreams is indeed, also very cool though.

Why? Dreams is a PlayStation 4 and 5 game.

The title is easily read as being about writing code to run in a PSX emulator or on modded hardware, rather than being about using Dreams for it's mostly-intended purpose. We use the terms PSX/PS2/etc. for a reason, and that alone would clarify the title quite a lot. Mentioning Dreams in the title would help, too.

Yes, I know. But the post has nothing to do with a PS1 or PSX, so why would they be helpful in the title?

I think they just misworded that being more specific about the exact platform would be helpful:

- the title mentions PlayStation, but all the oldies will assume that's a PS1, or possibly whichever PS gen they grew up with

- the actual PS gen isn't even relevant really, this is more about doing it in Dreams than on a given device
