What would really grind Sony's gears is if everyone stops updating their system and waits for the PS5 Linux hacks to catch up to their firmware version. Then, they install Linux and get Steam working and only buy digital games from Steam and GOG, or emulate older games, on their Linux hacked PS5.
Even cracking it to play ps5 titles would be amazing. Otherwise, idk what I’m doing with it.
PS5 emulators I saw recently were able to get games to boot for the first time. So, getting there already!
Yeah but at around 1 fps per second.
Ps5 emulation will happen, but not before a few years.
Still, it’s good as it means I’ll be able to fully leave that ecosystem that I used to love.
I guess Sony might lose a lot of money at one point if they don’t release their games on PC since a few former Playstation players are in the process of moving to PC and not coming back.
Likely won’t happen. Consoles these days are getting almost impossible to jailbreak.
Don't underestimate the human spirit so much. There's already been inroads made on early firmware versions of the PS5 where the hacker was able to play GTA5 at full settings on his PS5. The PS4 has a great jailbreaking community now too. There's also been steps in getting PS5 emulsion off the ground. It's only a matter of time. Seriously, check it out. I hacked my PS4 earlier though month and I can watched a hacked YouTube with no ads, and emulate games using retro arch. It's pretty sweet.
The human spirit makes no difference when it comes to jailbreaking hardware.
I know all about the hacks that exist. None of them work on anything remotely close to current firmware, because the early firmware that was coming in hot with some exploits has long ago been patched - and you can’t downgrade.
Emulation is a different beast too.
