Putting Linux Games on Consoles

[Deleted member 111282]

After reading this article, https://linux.org/threads/dolphin-–...-newest-versions-of-ubuntu.37798/#post-145569, it got me wondering about if its possible to burn games onto discs or cartridges and then play them on consoles?

Yes in two ways one is if you have a game and compile it for the console (you can do this with ue4). Or if you use a console with homebrew or by using something to emulate.

Considering how many retro and modern consoles exist, I imagine doing this would be quite lucrative, and some people managed to turn it into a full-time gig.

When it comes compiling games for the NES vs the PS5, would they have to be done differently because of the architectural differences?
