At this point I think our best option may be a spiritual successor by a different, but passionate, dev team. Not that Rockstar couldn't knock it out of the park, its just that it feels like Rockstar is interested in proven money makers than doing anything real different.
Unless you have experience with retro console repair, it may be best to take it to someone who does. I'd look at retro game shops around you and call to see if they do those sorts of repairs or if they could point you in the direction of someone who does.
My fellow funny brained friend! It's wild how much linux got me back into dicking around on my puter. When I was a teenager, I spent hours on my first laptop just fuckin modding the shit out of Bethesda games, pirating the games my parents couldn't afford, and farting around with emulators that let me re-experience games I had almost forgotten. Somewhere along the way, the overwhelming pressure of life caused me to curl up and recede inward and I stopped doing just about everything I enjoyed. That lasted a long, long time.
When I recently got a hand me down rig from a friend, I thought I'd use the hell out of it. I didn't. Then, one day, on a shitty old laptop that choked on windows, I decided to try out linux mint. It's been uphill from there.
It really depends for me. Now that I'm medicated I can redirect the hyperfixation, but it takes a LOT of effort. Why catch up on my taxes from 2 years ago I just never did when I have a fresh Linux Mint Wilma install and hyperfixation on archiving every available ROM since the Intellivision up to the 360/ps3/wii era on my nas?
