Why has nobody mentioned this yet? This seems rad.

You can pay 20 bucks to unlock a Dev Mode where you can run custom applications. You have to boot into Dev Mode, and it can't run commercial games, but you can just boot back into regular mode when you want to.

There's already a bunch of emulators you can use. I HEAR Retroarch is good (it sucked on the PI so I'm sus), and there's a shit ton of stuff you can emulate. I haven't heard about any other custom apps but I'm sure people will make more.

Seems smart because now there is zero incentive to jailbreak the system (and if this happens, you know immediately it's not in good faith and just there for pirated games).

Like… woah. This seems like it could be a really significant bonus. There's so much irony in the Xbox being able to play PS1 games, but the PS5 being unable to :-p
