I am stepping away from the ps5 scene and stopping all my work on ps5 linux. After pouring my heart and months of my life into it, including plans to finish ps5 pro support and release in 2027, it's all down the sink.

After 4 years of effort, I'm happy to announce that one of the final secrets of the PS2 has been broken wide open! It's been a long process of decapping, optical dumping, and now at last a software solution. Thank you Libby for finding the exploit from our dirty optical dumps!

Fun fact. The XboxHD+ has negative latency for some video modes where the frame timing differs between HDMI and analog output.
Replying to @BringBackBanjoK
All current HDMI mods add at least an additional frame of latency, that is one of the main reasons the N64 exists!

Even in the worst cases, timing delays are only half a millisecond (1/1000th of a second). This is relative for pixels to eyeballs. Most titles on the Xbox sync input to the framerate anyway (or oversample).

The Xbox boot animation easter egg all along was that it was secretly just a colonoscopy.
XBOX Boot up screen out of bounds everyone.
