Nintendo Switch emulator now runs natively on jailbroken PS5, Cuphead reaches 60 FPS

An unofficial port of the Eden Nintendo Switch emulator now runs natively as homebrew on jailbroken PlayStation 5 consoles. Developed by BlackBearReloaded and called ProsperoEden, the software adapts the defunct Yuzu-derived project for Sony hardware. Initial testing shows varying performance, with lighter titles achieving higher frame rates, such as Cuphead reaching 60 frames per second, while more demanding games like Zelda face performance chokes. In a separate legal development, a court awarded Nintendo $4.5 million in damages in a piracy case against a Reddit moderator known as Archbox.
