The PS5 is essentially just a PC anyway, you just need to get through the Hypervisor BS as this guy did. It has AMD CPU/GPU inside, so it's just a matter of making the kernel drivers detect what I imagine to be standard AMD RDNA2, but a custom identifier GPU detect and go to work.

Nice job though.

    only console that isnt just a PC with gate keeping is the Switch. Which is just basically a fancy tablet with gatekeeping.

    The Switch hardware is so close to Android tablets (and Nvidia Shield) that the OS was almost based on CyanogenOS (Venture capital version of CyanogenMod (was a fun Android ROM back in tho day))

    Didn't ps5 just get hacked at the bios or kernel level iirc allowing it to have a custom OS installed

    I would buy a ps5 if I could do this. Sony could make a bunch more money by selling unlocked units. But of course, they won't.
