Could you build this?
No Porting a PSP emulator (PPSSPP) natively to the PS5 requires reverse engineering console security/APIs, low-level C++ systems programming, and console homebrew exploit development.
What it would actually take: Requires an understanding of PS5 system architecture (FreeBSD-derived OS, proprietary GPU APIs like AGC/GNM, memory protection bypasses) and porting PPSSPP's codebase. The developer must write custom display/audio backends targeting undocumented PS5 homebrew SDK interfaces and handle JIT compilation constraints under console hypervisors.
