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 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.
Them Switch hardware is so close to Android tablets (and Nvidia Shield) that the OS almost ran CyanogenOS (Venture capital version of CyanogenMod (was a fun Android ROM back in tho day))
i’d say its just an upgraded shield thats badged for nintendo.
