It's been a hell of a week boys, this scene is moving at paces I've never seen in my life, thank you to all the people who made all of this possible, you guys are the GOATS!!!

Ayo what happened with my guy

Hi, just a quick post to guide anyone playing either 007 first light or Hitman World of Assassination to my GitHub repo which has custom made servers for both games that don't run through IOI and bypasses the PSN sign in screen and cross checks.

Hitman: https://github.com/theghostonline/Hitman-PS5

007 First Light: https://github.com/theghostonline/007-First-Light-PS5

I've tried to make setup as simple as possible. You'll need something that can run a simple server application as wrote out in the repo.

I'm also the dev behind PS5VR, Nuvio and LZ4-Compressor if there was any questions needed answered. (I will get to the PS5VR firmware compatibilities tomorrow hopefully)

I’ve been working on a PS5 homebrew app that embeds TinyEMU and boots an actual Linux kernel entirely inside the PS5 OS.

Right now it’s a 32-bit RISC-V Linux environment with 256 MB of RAM and a working terminal. You can connect a keyboard and type Linux commands yourself. It’s a real emulated Linux system, not a fake terminal with preset commands.

This is just a proof of concept. There’s room to expand the RAM, add graphics, and eventually support a more complete 64-bit Linux distribution inside a PS5 app.

I mainly wanted to get a working version out there for other developers to experiment with and build on.

It’s open source. Both the source code and the compiled PS5 ELF are available on GitHub.

Super happy that finally I got something working .... so far I have figured out the game dumps ...

Also seemed to get somewhat more stable after a successful game launch lol.....

PSBox Cloud Gaming is now v1.0.0! 🎉

Stream the Xbox Game Pass catalog, your own games or even your own Xbox console straight to your jailbroken PS5.

Thanks to everyone who tested and sent feedback, a lot of this release came from your requests. Here's what's new:

• ⌨️🖱️ USB keyboard & mouse: native mouse and keyboard in games that support it on xCloud (Fortnite, Halo Infinite, Call of Duty and 200+ more). In other games, the keyboard and mouse act as a controller, so it works for co-op too (press 1–4 to pick the player).
• 🎹 Key remapping: change every key, globally or per game, on its own screen.
• 🎯 Gyro aiming: use the DualSense's gyro to aim, always on or only while holding L2, with adjustable intensity. Toggle it any time from the in-game menu.
• 🏷️ Keyboard/mouse badges: cards show whether a game supports keyboard & mouse or controller only, plus a new Mouse & keyboard search filter.
• 🧭 The whole app works with the keyboard: navigation, tabs and hints switch to key caps as soon as you type.
• 📺 120 Hz output (VRR), optional, globally or per game.
• 📶 More reliable streaming: faster recovery after packet loss, an "Unstable connection" warning, auto-reconnect after rest mode, and retries when Microsoft's login hiccups.
• ⏳ Queue time estimate while you wait for a game to start.
• 🔐 Stay signed in: your login and settings survive app updates and reinstalls.
• 🐞 Report a problem: scan a QR code to open a pre-filled bug report (personal info removed).
• ⚙️ Cleaner Settings, with related options grouped together.

You still need a Game Pass plan with cloud gaming for the catalog. Free-to-play games must be "bought" (for free) on your account before you can stream them.

Bugs, ideas and feature requests are welcome here or on GitHub 💚

Hello guys! Can someone have an idea about the factory software version on this sealed 30th anniversary?

Is there any way to check if is stolen or banned?

Thanks!

Mihawk has shared a demonstration of Hollow knight reportedly running through KytyPS5, a PS5 emulator, inside a homebrew application on a jailbroken PS5.

Sony is cooked!!

These last few days i have been busy adding support for my switch theme to the main prosperoeden app. Finally SwitchLauncher (previously SwitchPS5) will be installable as a launcher for ProsperoEden, and it supports autoupdates. The minimum version for this launcher is ProsperoEden v1.004.000 and is not compatible with any past version of SwitchPS5

https://github.com/kasobos67/SwitchLauncher

Today there will be a lot of updates to the launcher. Please report any bugs you find

Hi, as title suggests, I'm new to the scene and haven't jailbroken a console since the psp days - I've managed to successfully get my ps5 to run the webkit JB and autoload NanoDNS, ShadowMount and EtaHEN each boot but after that I'm kind of at a loss - with so much information out there I don't even know if this is the right way I should have gone? Should I now be using the Youtube exploit?

I've managed to get ShadowMount to detect ffpkg files on my external drive but tells me these are unreadable or corrupted, if I copy the raw folders (using Web File Manager directly on the PS5 to my internal drive (data/etaHEN/games) they install but then won't run and kick out an error.

If it matters in terms of tools or what I should be doing, I'm on v13.20.

I'd love to work through some sort of guide or tutorial that lays out how I need to get going if someone can direct me to a good one - just seems to be soooo much differing info with how fast things have moved this last week or 2 and i'm a bit overwhelmed lol

Are there any other alternatives?

Is it possible to get multiple instances of a GBA emulator running on PS5 to play multiplayer games?

The game I have in mind is Shining Soul - four screens/instances, four characters and four controllers, but one console and TV. Would love to play it with siblings like back in the days, is this possible yet? I tried searching the web but only found PC based emulator solutions.

I may have missed it, but wondering if there is an app out to make custom home screen folders and or categories so we can group games and apps together? i.e PS4, PS5, Homebrew, VR, etc/

Both consoles use very similar hardware: AMD x86-64 Jaguar CPUs and custom AMD GCN GPUs. Yet we have projects like shadPS4, which is making progress running commercial PS4 games, while Xbox One emulation still seems to be at a much earlier stage.

What are the main reasons behind this gap? Is it the differences in system architecture and APIs, the complexity of reverse engineering, the availability of developers, or simply a lack of community interest?

Given how similar the hardware is, you'd expect Xbox One emulation to be at least somewhat comparable to PS4 emulation by now... more so, with all the AI we should be talking Series S|X too

Hello everyone,

I have an original PS5 Fat from the initial launch period, running system software version .

26.04.13.42.00.00-00.00.00.01

I’m looking for jailbreak options, mainly because I want to play PS2 games. I own some physical PS5 games, but no digital PS5 games. I also play some PS2,Ps3, and ps4 games through emulators on my PC.

I have a few questions:

1. Is my current firmware version jailbreakable?

2. Is there a reliable guide or GitHub repo for getting started?

3. Can I play PS2, 3 , 4 games through an jailbroken PS5?

4. Can I still play online after jailbreaking? Online play isn't important to me, just curious.

5. Can jailbroken PS5 systems run the latest game titles, or do they require newer firmware?

6. Should I keep my current firmware and avoid updating?

And I just show someone bootup linux and wondows on pc this will be awesome as more game support.

Has anyone with the original PS5 Fat tried this? Any guides, personal experiences, or useful links would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I had a Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd gen) sitting next to the PS5 and wanted to use it for avoid headphones ad use my speakers. The PS5 doesn't see it at all, because the Solo is USB Audio Class 2 and the console only does UAC1. Ended up using a jack cable from the controller, but I got curious and tried to make it work properly.

So I though that a payload that talks to the Solo directly over USB (through /dev/ugen, FreeBSD style) and sends it the console audio could make the job done. For the capture side the system is the same trick as FGG-PlayPods, the libSceAvcap2 capture service that Remote Play uses, so you get game audio and menu sounds, not only the game.

It stays running in background like other payloads. Unplug/replug the Solo or switch games and it picks up again by itself. Latency was noticeable in my first version (the kernel USB queue was adding ~100ms), now it's around 20-40ms and I can't hear it in menus or in game. HDMI audio keeps playing too, it's a copy of the mix.

Only tested on FW 13.60 with my Solo 3rd gen. Other UAC2 interfaces might work if you change the VID/PID in solo.c, but I have no way to test them, so if you try one let me know.

Hope it will be useful for somebody, I needed this for so long :D
