Bloodborne is a PS4 game and the mod used a PC emulator, did it not? That'll be why right there.

The mod was designed to play in 60fps on a jailbreaked PS4 Pro in boost mode. It just also works on an emulator

Oh wow - that's something I was unaware of!

But then it is certainly the need for a jailbroken console that has Sony filing a DMCA. Sony has historically been ridiculously controlling and tight with their console software... I fortunately was pretty in the know and didn't upgrade my PSP software beyond the version range for running exploits - but there were periods of months where no progress was ever made on future versions. It was a very long, hard fought cat and mouse game. And another example, mod chip makers for PS3/4/5 have been repeatedly taken to court and dismantled by Sony.
