If you look deep into the switch 2 hacking scene, you’ll find the non optimistic consensus is there is a real chance it will never be cracked, hacked or emulated. The effort put into the engineering to protect it finally caught up. Unique encryption keys per console so that even if one managed to get hacked there is no immediately widespread solution like the past. Fuses that burn themselves and brick the device at any sign of tampering. No clear path or gap towards progress. They stepped up in a massive way and there’s no reason to think Sony won’t follow.
That’s a bummer. I thought I saw a video where they got a ghostly outline of Donkey Kong working already. If one guy or a few guys hacks theirs and gets it working it’s probably enough to make an emulator though. I’m always astonished by the ability of the hacking community to overcome the measures that the corporations put in place.

Yeah unfortunately that was generally considered fake in the end. Basically it’s not entirely impossible but it’s harder than it’s ever been.
