    Tutorial PS5 Exploit Guide

    Sorry for replying (again) to this post from 100 pages back, but with how fast this thread has been moving lately, it hardly feels that old. I just came across this 3-year old post the OP shared from a now-infamous figure, and it might have something to do with why the latest HV exploit only...

    A fix for the typo causing issues with .exfat files was pushed to the repo about a week ago, but for some reason the compiled .elf wasn’t uploaded there and a lot of people are still reporting .exfat issues without realizing this fix exists. The latest build was shared here instead.

    Most dumps only have a few hundred to a thousand files total. Even with a huge block size, the wasted zero-padding adds up to maybe 30MB, totally negligible in a 10-50GB game. Only a handful of high-file-count games like Returnal, Demon's Souls, Elden Ring, and Astro Bot would see any real...

    "Kraken blows that away, with decode speed 3-5× faster than zlib, and 10-30× faster than LZMA. It's just much faster than anything else at its compression level." https://www.radgametools.com/oodlekraken.htm Looks like we won’t get past 150-250 Mb/s read speeds with zlib

    There might be other factors at play here with microstutters, like kstuff

    Current consensus is that an uncompressed .dat PFS should be created first and then wrapped in a compressed container. That could change if a better approach comes along, and I'd rather avoid having to redo a bunch of work later.

    I’ll probably wait a few weeks before I start compressing my backups, just to give MkPFS a bit more time to mature. Hopefully they can push read speeds past 250 MB/s by then.

    Tutorial PS5 Exploit Guide

    I've been seeing reports for a while now of people having to factory reset their Slim and Pro PS5s, and honestly I've been worried about ending up in the same situation with my Slim on 11.40. Mine is factory-paired (which is supposedly less prone to losing BD drive pairing), but after...

    Tutorial PS5 Exploit Guide

    Sorry, I missed this part of the guide: "Y2JB requires a fake-activated account to run properly." That seems to contradict the "Fake or legit activated PS5" part I quoted earlier from the same guide. I don't have a PS5 with a legit activated account, and the guide doesn't mention NP Fake Signin...

    The Y2JB instructions actually say "Fake or legit activated PS5". The activation requirement is mainly for people who aren't already jailbroken. Since your console is already jailbroken, you can just place download0.dat in /user/download/PPSA0165* via FTP and you're all set. If you're on a...

    Looks like it was just a typo, and they’ve already pushed a fix to the official repo, just no updated compiled ELF yet.
