PS5 commercial backups are now booting on jailbroken systems

​

PlayStation 5 homebrew scene modder @LightningMods_ has shown the first commercial PS5 games running on their jailbroken console with console firmware version 4.03.

As seen in the above Tweet, Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition has been shown to boot successfully on their modified console. They have also shown The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience booting but have explicitly stated that this required a "crack" to do so, but further details are unknown at this time.

Currently only PlayStation 5 consoles that are on firmware version 4.51 or lower are susceptible to the current jailbreak methods.

We will be following this news and will keep you updated with developments as they happen.

Depending on when it was manufacture, if you got the first batch you probably be able to get 4.50.

Naturally. But a lot of places aren't going to provide that info. If a person can get it, I'd recommend nothing later than March 2022 to be safe, as I've seen reports of May 2022 being 5.xx. Still a gamble though as 5.00 was released in March 2022.

Afaik the dump is repacked with some system files, and I’m guessing some custom hooks via Itemzflow/hen.

We shall see soon :)

I want to see native PS5 games like Astros Playroom booted and working before I get super excited about this, not PS4-PS5 upgrade games like GTA3.

Depend on what batch it is from, I know there are two batch, one from Jan to March 2022, and one batch from June 2022, the June 2022 is 5.1 and the March 2022 is 4.5

April and May can have 5.xx also. I personally wouldn't risk anything from March and on unless the seller can confirm the FW version.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
