PS5 can now make original PS2 discs feel almost like native games.
The PS5SX2 emulator has been updated so a jailbroken PS5 can automatically detect compatible PS2 DVDs and add a game tile directly to the console’s home screen, complete with the game’s cover art.
The latest version, PS5SX2 2.10, also adds a “Reload PS2 Disc” option if the disc isn’t detected correctly.
• Physical PS2 DVD support
• Automatic disc detection
• PS2 games appear on the PS5 home screen
• Game covers are displayed automatically
• Requires a jailbroken PS5
• Requires a legally obtained PS2 BIOS and additional homebrew components
The feature has only been tested on a limited number of PS5 consoles
The developer recommends ejecting discs before shutting down to avoid potential kernel panics
playstation has no limits
The PS5 homebrew scene is getting absolutely wild
Jailbroken PS5s can now do things Sony never officially supported:
>PS2 games can boot directly from physical DVDs through PS5SX2
>Early PS3 emulation is already running
>Wii U, 3DS and DS emulation are being combined into one project
>Switch emulation is getting performance and stability improvements
>And now developers have even shown Windows 7 running on the PS5 through a hybrid native/virtual-machine setup
Playstation really has no limits
