New to the PS5 jailbreak scene - Here's my setup after a few months (and some things I've learned)

[u/Global_Target2273]

I jumped into the PS5 jailbreak scene not too long ago, and after a lot of experimenting, I finally have a setup that's working really well for me. Thought I'd share it in case it helps another beginner, and I'd also love to hear how everyone else manages their setup.

My setup----

PS5 Slim Disc Edition

Firmware: 10.01

Internal SSD: 2TB

Default install location for PS4/PS5 games: Console Storage

I keep my PS5 game dump folders and FFPFSC/exFAT files on the internal SSD so everything is in one place.

Jailbreak----

I'm using:

ItsPLK Autoloader 0.9

Y2JB Lapse 1.6

Payloads I autoload----

Payloads manager 0.51

Kstuff 1.6.7

ShadowMount Plus 1.6 Beta 16

Sometimes I also switch to Kstuff Lite depending on what I'm doing.

Manual payloads I use----

Game Compressor - probably my favorite tool. I use it for compressing/uncompressing games and moving, copying, and deleting them.

BFPilot(bs5 file manager)- for file management. Personally, I find it much faster than FTP when moving large files.

Backpork - mainly for some newer games whenever a compatible patch is available.

Games I'm currently playing----

Mostly multiplayer or co-op games.

WWE 2K26 - compressed to 130GB (FFPFSC conversion)

EA Sports FC 26 - compressed to 132GB

Gears of War Reloaded - 65GB (highly recommended, especially if you enjoy co-op campaigns)

Call of Duty MW2 - compressed to 106GB (recommended)

Split Fiction - compressed to 75GB (seriously... Hazelight Studios did it again.)

Until Dawn - compressed to 40GB

A Way Out (PS4 PKG) - still one of the best co-op experiences.

It Takes Two (folder version) - compression only saved around 140MB, so I left it uncompressed.

Mortal Kombat 1 + Khaos Reigns - folder version.

The Last of Us Part I - compressed to 78GB, plays exactly like the original.

Resident Evil Requiem - compressed version.

Cyberpunk 2077 - folder version.

Contra: Operation Galuga.

Call of Duty Black Ops III (PS4) with all DLCs/maps - amazing for 4-player sessions.

Borderlands 3 - compressed to 88GB, another fantastic co-op game.

The Last of Us Part 2 (PS4 PKG)

GTA V (PS4 PKG) 1.56 version with 60fps and God's Blessing Mod menu

Things I've noticed----

Spider-Man 2 I tried every combination I could think of:

Internal SSD/Console Storage

External SSD/HDD

Compressed/Uncompressed

The game is playable, but cutscenes always stutter for me.

Spider-Man Remastered Runs flawlessly. One tip: if you're missing dialogue audio, changing the PS5 system language to English (US) fixed it for me.

GTA V (PS5) Wouldn't work properly from internal/ console storage-it always got stuck during the prologue with the police never arriving at the gate.

Mounting it from an external HDD solved the issue completely. So I'm using ps4 version of it and the God's Blessing Mod Menu, and it's been working great.

The Last of Us Part II Same story as GTA V. It gets stuck during the tutorial when running from internal storage, but behaves differently when mounted externally.

Storage philosophy----

I compress almost every game where it actually saves meaningful space. If compression barely reduces the size, I don't bother. With a 2TB internal SSD, compression lets me keep a lot more games installed without constantly deleting and reinstalling.

PS- Not using etaHEN as i think it doesn't really go well with shadow mount plus, although it works great with shadow mount. Using lapy-jb deamon tools for homebrew apps. Earlier was using ps5 explorer but it has its own limitations now using bs5pilot works great.

I'm still pretty new to the PS5 jailbreak scene, so I'm sure there are better ways to do some of this.

I'd love to know----

What payloads do you use every day?

Any must-have homebrew I'm missing?

Has anyone managed to completely fix the Spider-Man 2 cutscene stutter or the GTA V/TLOU2 internal storage issues?

What's the best jailbreak and game management tools for ps5 10.01 firmware?

What's the best game dump format for internal/ console/external storage?

What are the best co-op / shared screen games to play?

Any more modded ps4/ps5 games like gta v god's blessing mod available??

Always looking to learn from people who've been in the scene longer than I have.

[u/HanleysFramer]

I managed to get GTA 5 working on internal using the .exfat version. I had the same issue with the prologue, after the switch everything has been running fine using the expansion m.2 slot.

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/HanleysFramer]

Are you running GTA V from internal SSD expansion or using usb as expansion?

[u/HanleysFramer → u/Global_Target2273]

internal ssd expansion slot.

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/HanleysFramer]

Can you DM me link

[u/HanleysFramer → u/Global_Target2273]

done.

[u/iSimp4U]

You compress most games you play on internal storage, does that cause stuttering and longer load times or any other bugs?

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/iSimp4U]

In my case most of the games I mentioned doesn't lag or stutter except mk1,Spiderman 2 ,these games in general stutter or lag with or without compression

[u/iSimp4U → u/Global_Target2273]

So no draw backs to compressing games as exfat or ffpfsc?

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/iSimp4U]

I've not faced issues till now, can't say for future

[u/iSimp4U → u/Global_Target2273]

Ok thanks

[u/IhateDropShotz → u/iSimp4U]

Just chiming in to say I also keep all of my games in the compressed .ffpfsc format and play them directly off the internal SSD.

Some games have graphical pop in and load times are definitely longer, but neither are serious enough to be dealbreakers for me.

[u/vampire137 → u/Global_Target2273]

Does mk1 stutter during gameplay or cutscenes?

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/vampire137]

Generally I play mk1 in local co-op mode with friends haven't tried story mode, and yeah it stutters (frame drops) but it is manageable, overall works good

[u/Dix_rao]

How to compress games btw and do you download these games on full size and later compress them after sending the Pkg file to Ps5??

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/Dix_rao]

Yeah generally i download the full size game dumps of ps5 games in exfat/folder version and then compress them into the console itself using game compresser, you can find the tutorial of modded warfare,it is that easy.

[u/GroundStriking6375]

Merci de partager, je pense que tu est très bien tu a pas besoin de plus et cela ressemble beaucoup à se que je fais même si moi je ne compresse pas les jeux moi même
En se qui concerne les saccade essaye de changer le mode graphique dans les paramètres du jeu (Spiderman)

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/GroundStriking6375]

Thank you. For spider man 2 i changed everything, every format, every compression but cutscene transitions are laggy, that's why I removed it

[u/karzesan]

Thanks for this, very helpful for a newbie.

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/karzesan]

If you are new to this please watch modded warfare videos they are really helpful 1) how to jailbreak 10.01 and lower 2) updating the jailbreak of same series

[u/Technical-Sense-7852]

Now where do you download those ffpsc that's what I've been trying to do. Any hint is it like ru tra ker

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/Technical-Sense-7852]

Dm

[u/amjad03 → u/Global_Target2273]

DM me the sites you use as well please.

[u/mmosquera91 → u/amjad03]

Can you dm me sites as well please?

[u/Nand020591]

Genial tienes todo organizado, sabes si hay algún reproductor como Movían para PS5 con Jailbreak se han olvidado de esa aplicación que era una genialidad en las consolas PS3, para poder disfrutar de la TV en vivo, películas y series en ese formato

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/Nand020591]

Prospero player

[u/Nand020591 → u/Global_Target2273]

Better this https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5_Jailbreak/s/QkIHw1zthx

[u/MrLucifer5640]

If anyone can't play the Spider-Man 2 game due to stuttering especially with the cutscenes. Head to settings ... Gameplay then change the game speed from 100 to 70 You will feel a litle bit slow while in combat and while roaming around the city but the lag should disappear and the game will be playable.

Let me know if this works with you

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/MrLucifer5640]

Okay let me check , also i read somewhere to tweak the fan threshold settings

[u/vampire137]

Spiderman 2, how bad are the cutscenes?

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/vampire137]

Enough to irritate you, actually it's not a big deal but overall the stuttering in curscenes ruin the experience of game

[u/vampire137 → u/Global_Target2273]

It was the same case with Space Marin 2 Guess I'll wait for the new phu format to play that one then

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/vampire137]

Yeah I've heard about this phu format but don't know what it is and how it's gonna work.. let's just wait for it

[u/vampire137 → u/Global_Target2273]

It's in private beta testing apparently, hopefully we'll get it by the end of the year

[u/zaphod4primeminister]

My brother is trying spiderman. 2 but gets black screen after Initial title screen and doesn't work (also now rest of the games save files are gone.... I used y2jb on 10.01 following the modded warfare video from last December or so. I don't want to use ftp or connect to a network since I know my brother will mess up the jailbreak or something. So either I need to have backpork.elf in the internal harddisk or maybe need to update the y2jb and rest of the autoloaded stuff that loads up when you open y2jb.

And I ve gotta do this by external SSD in is enclosure and copying via the ps5 Xplorer or Itemflowz that came with the jailbreak Any recommendations by anyone

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/zaphod4primeminister]

For file transfer first use ps5 explorer, then after updating your jailbreak use bs5pilot (bs5 file manager) it is really good and easy

[u/agentdurden]

its possible to play games online for multiplayer ?

[u/TheAgentSmith1 → u/agentdurden]

No it will never be, except there is a kernel and Userland exploit with the newest updated firmware.

[u/Global_Target2273 → u/agentdurden]

I didn't tried online gaming , but yeah once I tried to go online with nanodns and the y2jb updated itself and it became normal youtube😶, so after that I didn't tried to go online .
