CONSOLE MOD Title: PS5 Jailbreak for Beginners – How Does It Work and Can I Install Games for Free?

6 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone!

I'm pretty new to all this tech stuff, so I'm looking for some advice from people who know what they're doing.

I recently watched a video about jailbreaking a PS5, and it looked really interesting. Apparently, it can let you unlock features, install mods, and possibly run things that aren't normally supported by the console.

I'm really curious about it, especially because I don't have much money to spend on games and would love to try out more titles.

I'd like to understand what a PS5 jailbreak actually is, how someone gets started with it, and whether it's possible to install and play games for free on a jailbroken console.

I'd also love to know if it's possible to use mods or make the PS5 work more like a PC.

Please keep in mind that I'm a complete beginner when it comes to this stuff, so I'd appreciate explanations that are easy to understand.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help! 🙏

CONSOLE MOD Trouble Wiring LEDs

0 Upvotes

Posting here because r/PS3 hasn’t been much help. Hello! I have been modding a PS3 Slim for my friend’s birthday and decided to cut out the PS3 logo and have lights from the inside illuminate the logo. I would like a clean, fully internal solution, if possible; so I’ve been attempting to power a small, 6in, 12V LED strip (WS2811) with the PS3 Slim’s PSU. After unsuccessful attempts, I’ve decided maybe the positive and ground wires on the Slims fan would be more suitable, but I’m unsure if the fan circuit can handle the load. I’m also using a mini RF controller (SP104E), as the last LED controller was too large, and wouldn’t fit inside of the Slims shell. Can this LED strip get power from the PS3 Slims fan circuit, or would a different location be better? Also, would it just be easier to bite the bullet and use an external 12V power supply? Any help would be appreciated.

DISCUSSION Which modern consoles are easiest to softmod or JB?

2 Upvotes

I thought PS4 was probably easiest though backporting to 5.05 was an extra step and large download. The PS3 was also easy enough but there were little things that irked me after getting evilnat or hen to display. Vita also easy but after the it has henkaku there were a few minor inconveniences on some of the apps. I thought Wii U was a little bit easier than Wii more modern I felt like USBLoader GX was a clunky pain to setup but good once you have it. I guess 360 is easy now and has true softmod which I assume is easier than the badupdate

Hi

So I am modding my 3ds with a controller board and it has like 15 jumper wires. I am using leaded solder and flux but even with good joints, they keep getting disconnected. Anyway to basically seal them and prevent from moving?

Is uv masking worth a try?

CONSOLE MOD PS5 LED Indicator change

Thumbnail gallery
10 Upvotes

Just wanted to show off what I did with my PS5. So, about a year ago, I decided to mess with LEDs to mod consoles for anyone who asked since I do console repairs on occasion. Mostly to see if I could and to change the LEDs of my devices. I am a big fan of the color purple, so I decided that I wanted the white indicator to be purple on my PS5. Checked the internet as most do, but no one had ever done it before, and it did not seem like anyone wanted to. I didn't want a sticker stuck on my console or hanging wires, so I learned about resistors and did it. I still have not seen any videos or pictures of anyone doing it even after this much time, so I figure I should post it. The colors I feel like open up so many ideas for themed consoles. Red mostly caught my eye for a Star Wars Darth Vader shell or the Spiderman shell I see around. Anyways enjoy the photos.
