if you’re technologically literate and played video games when you were you get, you might have an untapped fountain of joy waiting to be discovered under a bed somewhere.
consoles that many a gen y/z‘er played in their youth often have a community of people dedicated to cracking their software wide open and making them do things that their manufacturers never intended, like playing pirat— I mean legally acquired game files instead of paying for expensive discs, or enabling mods and developer settings, or even running emulators for other game consoles. My PS2 can emulate an original game boy advance now. why? I’m not sure, but it’s funny.
google your consoles name plus homebrew (the name for custom software) or custom firm ware or hack and you’ll find a guide for the unique process people have developed to hack it.
