Jailbreaking yes, but emulation? I wouldn't be so certain, it's still the fundamentally same, mainstream CPU/GPU family just with more beef.
The most pressing challenge is getting game cartridges to a point where they can be decrypted.
- jsheard 3y agoI suppose, but as you say jailbreaking is a prerequisite to emulation since we need to extract the games, and possibly the firmware. In the absence of a "god mode" hardware exploit like the Tegra X1 bootrom bug that's also a moving target because newer games will need newer firmware to decrypt, requiring a steady supply of new exploits to keep breaking open those new firmwares.
