PSFlyCast is an unofficial port of Flycast to a jailbroken PS5: a native
app with a controller-only interface, drawing through RADV. Everything about
it - installing, the controls, building, credits - is in
shell/ps5/README.md, how to use it is in the
user manual, and its code is in
shell/ps5/. Builds are on this repository's Releases page.
It is not made or supported by Flycast's developers. What follows is Flycast's own README, as it is upstream.
Flycast is a multi-platform Sega Dreamcast, Naomi, Naomi 2, and Atomiswave emulator derived from reicast.
Information about configuration and supported features can be found on TheArcadeStriker's flycast wiki.
