I think the deck is a stretch, it’s great at what it does but I can’t see it emulating a ps5. Especially given the lack of graphical options. You are however very correct in assuming that is possible. Ps5 uses a standard architecture set based off AMD chipsets. I personally think the hardest thing to emulate would be the memory management swaps. If I recall correctly, Sony and AMD worked closely to make something akin to a complex resizable BAR and allowing quicker swaps between hdd/ram/vram.
