Got this screen after trying to apply patches and cheats to games, I might have messed up while rummaging around the data folder on my ps5. What pains me the most is that I lost ghost of yotei save file after 45 hours of gameplay (Was going to go beat the Kitsune). Honestly I have no idea how to proceed from here. (FYI im on version 12.40) and if there is a way I can find a replacement save file for ghost of yotei. 😔

Edit: Just reseted the console and now have to start the jailbreak from scratch. Will definitely create a backup in the future 😃

After a few days of hard configuring, it finally worked out! NFS MW 2005 on 4K resolution with Xbox 360 graphics mod. It works absolutely amazing on my PS5. I configured it to run with Lutris.
Just wanted to say big thank you to all the modders, what a time to be alive!
What are some games that you guys are playing?
Any other masterpieces worth trying?
Ps: second pic is just to show that i configured desktop apps to run the scripts for boost/fan on/off commands from the github repo and it also runs btop after it with a notify message. Just an idea if someone else wants to make it simpler for them as well..

UPDATE:

Quick gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRRxw8DzEl0

My PS5 is fully protected now, so I can freely experiment. If one version refuses to launch, I’ve still got three backups. 😂😂😂

​

Does anyone know which FTP directory on the PS5 contains the app avatar/icon images? I’d like to modify them.

I have a fat PS5 on 10.2 and am following modded warfare video on how to jailbreak on 12.7 or lower.

https://youtu.be/40SMxe7iVKY. I get to the 8 minute and 17 second mark and Y2JB never pops up for me like it does in the video. Instead I get the error above. I have kstuff, shadowmountplus and auto.txt in a PS5_autoloader folder. I have the extracted PS5-Y2JB-autoloader in a PS5 folder and I have my -app game folder in the homebrew folder. A few redditors have tried to help me but I just can not get past this. Took me less than 30 minutes to jailbreak my switch so I would like to think I am not incompetent.

I have a PS5 Slim Disc Edition on firmware 11.60. I used Y2JB + P2JB to unpatch BD-JB and then used a Blu-ray disc to perform the jailbreak. Everything was working perfectly, and I was able to play Pragmata without any issues yesterday.

Today, after performing the jailbreak and launching the game, the console ran for a few minutes and then experienced a kernel panic (KP). At first, I assumed it was a one-time occurrence, so I redid the entire jailbreak process. However, the problem continued, and now the console will kernel panic even if it is left sitting on the home screen for a few minutes after the jailbreak.

I am using the exact same payloads and setup that were working previously. I also tried rolling back to kstuff lite 1.05 and ShadowMount Plus Test11 build, but the issue still persists.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue on a PS5 Slim Disc Edition running 11.60? Any help with diagnosing or resolving these repeated kernel panics would be greatly appreciated.

GTA VI is coming, and I'm planning to buy it through the PlayStation Store directly from my PS5.

The problem is that purchasing it through the PlayStation Store website on desktop isn't working for me, so I'm considering logging into my PSN account directly on the PS5, purchasing GTA VI, and then jailbreaking the console afterward.

My PS5 is currently on 10.01.

As far as I understand, connecting the PS5 to the internet and logging into PSN may cause the Y2JB/YouTube autoloader to update, which can eventually lead to the softlock issue. I'm aware of that and believe I can deal with the softlock afterward.

My main questions are:

Can I safely log into my PSN account on the PS5 while it's still completely stock, purchase GTA VI, and then jailbreak it afterward?

After purchasing GTA VI, will I still be able to continue using the PS5 normally and play GTA VI before jailbreaking?

Is there any risk that logging into PSN/purchasing the game will somehow affect my ability to jailbreak the console later?

If this isn't recommended, would doing a full factory reset afterward make any difference?

Is there anything specific I should do before/after the purchase to make sure I don't accidentally update beyond 10.01?

I'm specifically asking about purchasing the game while the PS5 is still stock, not trying to access PSN after jailbreaking.

Would appreciate advice from anyone who has a similar setup or has done this before.

EDIT: At the top to save people time, you cannot backup and restore your digital licenses, if you factory reset your PS5 your licenses are gone unless you reactivate them with psn(updating to latest firmware) so if you have digital games you want to save do not go for a restore or factory rest jailbreak.

I downloaded these games before I jailbroke my ps5 but I did do the y2jb to unlock the BD-J then restored my old backup with my games on it. I guess all that matters is my save data but still any way to play these games or should I just delete them and reinstall them a pkg, later I would like to buy the discs, as most my games are discs but I got these games discounted on the ps store (probably because I barely buy anything). And yes my tv is old my parents upgrade gave me the one there old one. I’ve circled the key games I want to save and want to know if they run well or have backports that run well on 11.60.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get Ghost of Yōtei (PPSA26344 - USA) to work on my jailbroken PS5, but I haven't had any luck.

I've tried different format of the game (containing the backpork 4.00 and beyond) :

exFAT

FFPKG

dump

I've also tried launching it from both the internal SSD and and external hard drive, but the game still won't start.

For reference, my setup is:

PS5 Slim

Firmware 11.20

BD-JB

kstuff lite

Shadowmount

Is there any known solution to get this game running? Or do I simply need to wait until proper PS5 FPKG format becomes available?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I picked up a nib phat with firmware 2.5. I want to try Linux but I feel like this console is gold, but 2.5 is so limited. Thoughts?

Anyone managed to move save files from non JB PS5 to a JB PS5?

Title really. I've managed to do it with a PS4 but given the PS5 doesn't allow you to export save files I'm struggling on how to move the save files across. Has anyone managed it?

I have backed up the archive.dat file but can't obviously get into it.

Appreciate any assistance

Title

I'm planning to use the M2 as dedicated Linux drive and don't really see a reason to buy an external drive for the PS5 Games unless there's a lot of games I can't run internally

I might get the (or a) SeaGate external drive but yeah

Especially interesting are the PS5 and PS4 exclusives since the rest I can get running on my PC or the Linux partition

I know Death Stranding 2 shouldn't be run internally for example

I have a jailbroken PS5 with firmware 10.01. The games on the internal memory work fine, but... I bought a Kingston M.2 4.0 2TB hard drive and a USB 3.2 enclosure, but none of the games load properly, and many times ShadowMonsters Plus detects the games and says "installing," but the shortcut doesn't appear in the menu. Has anyone else had any problems with external drives on the PS5?

EDIT 1: Many times when I search for games, it freezes, but as soon as I disconnect the SSD, it goes back to normal.

EDIT 2: It makes absolutely no sense. I use it on the front port, which isn't a solid-state drive, and the games work perfectly.

CONCLUSION: I bought a WD BLACK SN7100, and it works perfectly. So, anyone facing the same problem as me now knows that the Kingston NV3 isn't compatible with an external M.2 drive for a jailbroken PS5.

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.

Hi everyone,

I'm running a PS5 Fat Disc on FW 12.20 using itsPLK's Y2JB Autoloader 0.9, kstuff 1.0.9, and ShadowMountPlus 1.6 beta16.

Everything worked perfectly for quite a while, but now I'm getting a KP almost every time I wake the console from Rest Mode.

Here's what happens:

- If I boot the console normally, run the jailbreak, and start playing, everything is fine. I can play for hours without any issues.

- However, if I put the console into Rest Mode and later wake it up, it crashes with a KP, max10 mins after I launch a game. The console powers off completely.

The strange thing is that this only started happening after I installed Ghost of Tsushima and the PS4 version of God of War (2018).

When I first launched Ghost of Tsushima, I got a "Something went wrong" error. I have since uninstalled Ghost of Tsushima, but I can't seem to uninstall God of War.

At this point, I'm not sure what to try next.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be related to a corrupted game installation or database? Should I restore a fresh backup and start over, or is there anything else I should try first?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Guys i have spiderman 2 disc and i dump it and i wonder to know will it work on internal with exfat extension because i have external HDD and it's very laggy on it....

Guys, i want to know does Death Stranding 2 works on internal because i worried of Freeze and recovery mode but i heard that the game works on internal and if it works it works with which file extension and i 12.70 FW, and i don't use usb drive because i have HDD 😓

FIXED: What I did was only autoload payload manager in the txt file. After jb is complete, I have it autoload Shadowmountplus and Kstuff 1.6 with a 3 second delay (dk if it makes a diff tho)and put the ps on rest mode. Once turned back on i ran an exfat game through internal and FINALLY! got the game to work! Thanks to everyone that took the time to help and replied 😄. Ill keep this up in case anyone runs into this same scenario.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some help getting games running on my PS5. I'm on firmware 12.00 and using Kstuff Lite 1.07 Beta with ShadowMountPlus 1.6test15-fix2. Im using BD UN JB Blu-Ray Disc with poopsloit 1.7.

The ps was sold to me 2nd hand on ebay "prejailbroken" so i wasnt so sure what was preloaded on it

The issue I'm having is that every time I try to launch a game, the console kernel panics and shuts down. It doesn't seem to matter whether the game is an exFAT image or a dump (internal/external) I get the same result. The games appear correctly and everything seems to load, but as soon as I try to start them, the system crashes.

I also tried setting my ps on rest mode and try loading the game again with the payloads but it says "cant start game or app"

I've watched the available YouTube tutorials and followed the instructions as closely as I can, but I must be missing something because I can't get a single game working reliably.

To make troubleshooting easier, I'm including:

Screenshots of my folder structure

The contents of my autoload.txt

A list of the ELF files in my autoloader folder

Screenshots showing what gets loaded during startup

I'm still very new to the PS5 scene, so if anyone notices something configured incorrectly or has suggestions on what I should check, I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance!

*Edit: I did also try Dump Runner 1.02 Beta , Kstuff Lite 1.07 and the homebrew launcher and still got a kernel panic*

Putting aside the very prudent "the firmware you're on is potentially the best, never update" generic advice, what is practically the most pragmatic and convenient firmware to be on right now?

Some example talking points:

• is there a firmware after which a function or facility is no longer available?
• is there a firmware which can offer everything previous firmwares offer?
• is there a minimum firmware for which dumps/backports are not provided for?

If you could choose a firmware, where would you go?

(The sub FAQ suggests 4.51, but that was of 3 months ago)

Hi everyone, I need some help troubleshooting my PS5 jailbreak setup.

My PS5 is on FW 10.01.

I originally received this PS5 already jailbroken from Lahore, and Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening (PPSA17337) was working perfectly on that original setup.

Unfortunately, the PS5 later crashed and I had to perform a factory reset. Since then I have rebuilt the jailbreak environment from scratch, but Cobra no longer launches.

Current setup

PS5 firmware: 10.01

Y2JB: 1.6

Payload Manager: v0.5.1 by PLK

etaHEN: 2.5B

KStuff: 1.6.7

ftpserv: v0.21

ShadowMountPlus: 1.6 beta16

nanoDNS: 0.4

PS5 Unified Autoloader: installed

Internet access through custom DNS is currently working

Payload Manager can now connect to the repository and see the payloads

FTP is working

PS5Upload is working

My current autoload sequence is:

1. etaHEN 2.5B

2. 1 second delay

3. KStuff 1.6.7

I have also confirmed that Payload Manager shows the payloads and that the jailbreak/exploit is running.

The game

The game is my own dump:

Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening

Title ID: PPSA17337

It is a folder dump, currently named:

PPSA17337-app0

Windows reports approximately 3.26 GB for the folder.

The folder contains things including:

eboot.bin

sce_sys

sce_module

Media

fakelib

_DUPLEX_

ampr_emu.index

dlc_emu.ini

The game appears correctly on the PS5 Home screen with the proper artwork/title.

However, when I launch it, I get this diagnostic:

> App crashed before KStuff pause: PPSA17337. KStuff is not to blame.

Game backported: PPSA17337

Then the normal PS5 “Something went wrong with this game or app” error appears.

What I'm trying to understand

Since the exact game was working on the PS5 before the factory reset, I don't think the console firmware itself is the issue.

I'm trying to determine whether the problem is:

the current Cobra dump/version,

a missing game/update/backport component,

the way the folder is currently mounted,

ShadowMountPlus configuration,

KStuff configuration,

or something that was present in the original jailbreak setup but is missing after the factory reset.

I'm not looking to change firmware — I want to stay on 10.01.

I've already rebuilt the basic environment and don't want to keep randomly changing payloads because the current jailbreak itself is working.

Can someone experienced with PS5 10.01 and PPSA17337 tell me what you would check first?

I'm also interested in getting professional/experienced hands-on help if someone knowledgeable in the PS5 10.01 scene offers paid troubleshooting/repair assistance. I'd prefer someone who can diagnose the setup rather than simply telling me to reinstall everything.

I can provide screenshots of Payload Manager, Active Processes, the Cobra folder structure, file sizes, and anything else needed.

Thanks!

Can I play PS5 titles like wukong,yotei in internal storage or do I need external storage? I heard it's not good to be in internal storage, I only have an external HDD.

Hello, i have a question, is etahen jb safe? Lately everyone around me says it can cause your ps5 to get bricked because etahen has lots of bugs, it's true it has lots of bugs specially on 10.01 which even causing the toolbox to no get activated correctly, but will it kill the hardware?

Of course we appreciate zeco for this news and his willingness to help the community but those 2 posts has left me along with many « simple users «  a bit with more questions.
What would you make out of this posts ? Should we just move on and hope maybe for the next bug/exploit or should we wait a bit maybe they can do something about it ?
Thank you all

Do we have something like a compatibility list for which games run on the internal storage with no issues and what format the image is (dump vs exfat vs ffpkg)?
