Jailbroken PS5s can now run Nintendo titles, physical PS2 discs, PS3 games, and…Windows 7 (?!)
The PlayStation 5 is shaping up to be an enthusiast's dream come true, if you jump past Sony's walls.
Recent updates to homebrew projects have transformed the PlayStation 5 into a remarkable emulation powerhouse, capable of running a wide range of games from various consoles. The PS5SX2 emulator has released version 2.1.0, introducing a new feature that allows users to play PlayStation 2 discs directly on the PS5. This is achieved through the use of ShadowMount Plus and a companion helper payload, bypassing the need to first convert the discs into ISO files.
The PS5SX2 project showcases the growing capabilities of the PS5 in the homebrew scene, making it an increasingly versatile device for gaming enthusiasts.
