Could you build this?
No Porting RetroArch to run on the PlayStation 5 requires deep console homebrew expertise, undocumented kernel exploitation, and custom graphics pipeline development.
What it would actually take: A working PS5 port requires an exploited console running a homebrew toolchain like ps5-payload-sdk. Developers must map RetroArch's libretro architecture to FreeBSD/Prospero system calls, implement a custom rendering backend using homebrew graphics wrappers (such as unofficial Vulkan or Agc libraries), and interface directly with proprietary DualSense controller APIs. This requires specialized low-level systems programming, console hardware reverse engineering, and exploit toolchain development.
