Would be nice to also get a consensus and record on which ps5 firmwares are the most stable. E.g:

4.xx = 4.03
5.xx = ?????
6.xx = ????? I use 6.02 and seems fine.
7.xx = 7.61
8.xx = ???? But likely to be 8.00 ref ES.

I call mid. 6.xx = ????? I use 6.02 and seems fine.
Sable provides most back port.

Can I double check. So more backports done on 6.02? Is that scene group or just one cool dude?

Updated 5.xx to 5.10 in my last post but was based on lot of initial work being done on it by Devs. Not sure if it translates to most stable.

Always what works for you lowest. Like our patron @KiiWii says lower better.

Coming over from Switch hacking scene, the first thing I learned is that whichever firmware you're on, it's usually the best one to be on and wait for future development. I bought my PS4 on 9.00 and PS5 on 5.00 and I'll keep them that way until something better is released. I can usually find PS4 backports for the games I'd like to play, while PS5 is just my another PS4, as I'm still hoping that we might get FPKGs one day. I'm yet to check the PS5 games that work on 5.00.

In the meantime, I'm collecting some PS (mainly for PS3 and PS4, I only have a DS charging station as that's the only useful thing that I've found so far) accessories and games for the collection of sorts that I'm trying to build. It's still in the very early stages.

I like Michael work but he is wrong on this video, the Golden Firmw. on PS4 is 6.72, not 5.05, and the reason is 2 simple points:

1º 6.72 has a few less KP on the exploit execution than 5.05 ( if I have to put a number of KP on 6.72 it will be 0.001)

2º 6.72 It has more working games that 5.05 (there are a few games that no work and never will work on 5.05)

Only for these 2 previous points, clearly the winner is 6.72. Period!

I can play all the games I want on 5.05, and I rest mode 0 KP for over 2 years now

I (still) have a PS4 testkit, and have updated and downgraded that mofo a lot when we were building 4.xx/5.xx/6.xx hosts.

During tests I would say 4.05 was a banger firmware. 5.05 is clearly next followed by 6.72.

I have noticed each person has a different experience, because some say 6.72 is best, but in my experience 5.05 was better.

I rarely had more than 1-2 games on the HDD, at a time, so that could be a factor as well. I’m not a mega pirate

Stability is never guaranteed by the very nature of these exploits. The best thing to do is enjoy what you have and what you can do with them.

Just to check, because I remember there was some talk about corrupt ssd's and wiping game files etc depending on how you installed your games on a hacked console.

So iirc you can use retail ps5 games on internal ssd like normal, you should use ps4 retail and fpkg games on the internal m.2 or external hdd, and you should use ps5 game dumps only on external hdd?

I'm mainly wanting to know where I should put any modded ps4 fpkg games. I'm still using my retail console for ps5 games atm but I'm planning on going back and playing my ps4 games modded at some point.

So I was just wondering if this is still a thing, or if you can now just install ps4 fpkg on the internal ssd withouth worrying about breaking anything.

I’ve got a 5.05 system too that stays in rest mode 24/7. KPs are very rare, and the jailbreak usually works again on the first try. 5.05 also isn’t affected by CBOMB issues, though a jailbroken 6.72 may have ways to mitigate that. With PLK’s RLL fork on my 7.61 PS5, I’m seeing similar stability and success rate, just not as convenient as WebKit. Because of this reliability and the wide availability of backports, I never bothered with firmware revert mods. I wonder how many actually risked that on their 5.05. It’d be helpful to see more stability comparisons from users who did. I’m skeptical of upgrade reports claiming 6.72 is “more stable” than 5.05, as people naturally justify their decisions after the fact. As for PS5 backports, maybe the right devs haven’t jumped in yet, but there’s no guarantee it'll be like on PS4 for 6- to 7-year-old firmwares. Holding onto a low-firmware PS5 might end up being more of a curse than a blessing if your main goal is actually playing games.

Oh and if it hasn't already been said, don't go buying Kiss Kara Hajimaru Gyaru no Koi ~Kurumi no Uwasa to Honto no Kimochi~ (CUSA32156) released in 2022-04-27, for lua, from what I can tell it uses the NeXAS engine, not artemis like the previous two games. Hasn't stopped scalpers going nuts with it though lol.

Update:
Himemiya-san wa Kamaitai (CUSA33223) released in 2022-07-27, is also NeXAS engine, not Artemis.
I've not verified, but I have heard that Keiken Zero na Classmate π (CUSA29031) released 2021-10-27, is also NeXAS engine and given the release date I'm going to assume it to be correct as well.

This also applies to Nurse Enjoy Gal Pack which comes as 3 separate games, the first two are lua games but the latest one in that bundle is the first game I mentioned with the gyaru. So it's not a 3-in-1 lua game bundle, just 2.

All three games are released after early 2021 which is when the last reported artemis game by the publisher was released. I would assume that either the license for Artemis expired so they switched engine, or Sony pulled them into a corner and had some quiet words with them in regards to keeping their future releases on the platform lol. Perhaps after a certain person submitted a bug bounty to Sony, I don't know when the lua exploit was reported though but I wouldn't be surprised.

I dunno if anyone knows who edits the psdevwiki, but feel free to update the info from here as they are listed as potential artemis games. Just to help people avoid getting scalped over a game they might be tricked into thinking is lua.

Oh yes you are a mega pirate. You like the Captain Hook of pirating with a lot of us Lost Boys (and girls cause we dont judge here) who became Lost Men (and women in this judge free zone) under your wing.

You like one foot in jail and one foot out. You got many folks in this pirate game. When they come for us, they gonna lock you up to.

It's ok, i played a LOT of GTA5. Pretty sure I can fly a helicopter now. Just need someone to handle the winch

I don't think I've pirated a game in over 15 years. Microsoft banned my DVD hacked 360 and I was like, I'll just buy the games and rip them myself. Way easier than waiting weeks for one game to finish downloading only to find out there's corruption. Plus it didn't tie up the phone line.

That's the worst kind a ban.

Actually, even if I don't know why I can understand it and I'm sure it's related to the fact that he "disinterested" from the scene.

I remember asking similar question a while ago and that's pretty much the same answer I got. I've been following this thread and a few others and I'm haven't seen anyone saying differently.
