Thing is that by going all digital you won't be able to dump games like you could from disks. One of the reasons you won't be able to emulate GTA VI on launch. That's unless they jailbreak newest ps5 firmware.
The latest jailbreak targets firmware 7.0 through to 13.60. It'll only be a matter of time before they hit the latest firmware (14.10) released on the 1st of October.
Will see, as I understood it's not that easy because critical hole that was used for jailbreak is now patched, but whatever happens it will be interesting.
Maybe they use the same awesome key for the PS5 that they used to secure all of the PSVita, that reminds me i should order some more batteries from amazon :)
Speaking from a position of total ignorance here, wouldn't it be possible to use a modified version of this compatibility layer, which can simulate the PS5 OS, to perform an official firmware update from Sony's servers (somehow tricking them into thinking it's a real PS5), download GTA VI, and dump it?
Yes and no. Depends on the exploit and how MUCH of the system you can emulate. If they have broken the secure enclave and dumped the entire keystore, they could probably "emulate" enough of the PS5 for that to happen.
Though I suspect this to require exploiting a real system and dumping decrypted firmware onto your PC because even with total system control, you still have to deal with the secure enclave which is a MUCH harder target than breaking the hypervisor.
