No Developing a custom native overlay for the PS5 ShellUI demands specialized reverse engineering of proprietary Sony system software and undocumented APIs.
What it would actually take: Developing this requires deep PlayStation 5 jailbreak development expertise, utilizing tools like Ghidra with PS5 ELF loaders to reverse engineer the proprietary ShellUI process. The developer must hook into system compositor surfaces, manage internal IPC messaging, and maintain stability inside a restricted console runtime using low-level C++.
