Offline-only console is an obvious candidate for some sort of a jailbreak because there’s nothing to lose. OG XBone is still a functional console with okay graphics and huge library, and they are afraid of competing with it (with how their CEOs paint piracy as The Big Bad). They wish they could’ve done this earlier (as well as getting rid off DVD-ROMs they are at rn) but picked that time to have less backlash because now a person without an internet able to stream content and dowload big patches is a rare beast unlike what was in previous gens.
Out of curiosity, do older handhelds like PSP have replacement batteries at the market?
The PSP modding scene is huge. From aftermarket shells to buttons and memory stick SD adapters, there is virtually nothing you can’t replace. Batteries are dime a dozen. Though iirc, official Sony batteries are still superior to the actual aftermarket batteries, so if you can get your hands on one - probably second-hand - you’re set.
Same goes for most other handhelds, I imagine. The DS and the 3DS family are hugely popular in the modding scene too, especially given that the 3DS line has seen a resurgence in interest because of the eShop’s closure, so replacing their parts is also trivial.
Ebay and AliExpress should have most of what you’re looking for

Hmmm. Thank you!
