Nintendo Switch games playable on jailbroken PS5 via new emulator

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new alpha version of the Prospero Eden emulator allows users to play Nintendo Switch games on a jailbroken PlayStation 5.

The emulator currently relies on OpenGL, contributing to compatibility issues, though active development aims to improve performance and game loading. AI
