The difference is, his keys where real. Phu likely isn't

the "facts" about Phu really don't add it. If it sounds too good to be true, than it probably is.

Why was arksama close to releasing and finishing Phu, and now all of a sudden September is the ETA? He was in a rush to push his AI trophy unlocker, and show real proof for that.

I hope it is real dont get me wrong. but Phu, is sounding like a lot of Phud

Sonic iso is just not believable guy. Experienced devs were teasing him few months ago that he heavily use claude for his apps, and all of the sudden he has keys. There are many more talented devs than jordy, who did nothing. He wanted to republish flows hv exploit and never finnished it. And sonic who only tok some others work and republished in his own app. And he openly admitted that he use ai for his work (begging for people money to pay claude).
But even if you have keys whats the point in bragging if you will never released. So my conclusion is they are attention **ores.
If they have keys other more stronger devs has them also. And they are quet about it. And that's ok with me. Just don't brag online like little kid.

What would be the difference between FPKG and the PKU that arc sama is currently developing. I’m surprised that Sonic feels like he would run into difficulties with the law but Arc Sama doesn’t, maybe he’s spooked because he’s been to jail before apparently.. can’t blame him

Different countries perhaps? Sonic is from US and ArkSama looks like to be from France. Plus ArkSama also said he had concerns about releasing the tool to create the files in the past.

He is open up the project to other devs, so I intend to believe what he's saying is true.

He’s been to prison before to share things with the community in the past

And jsut because AI was used doesn’t discredit anything…if it works it works.

Which also should show…if AI can do it so can
any other dev that wants to step up to the plate and risk jail time (for this specific usecase the keys)

I saw that he says he were in prison. But he is not talking what he did. Also first time he is talking about. I bet he sold some pirated games or content.

Nobody was able till now to make anything ground breaking in ps scene with ai. And all of the top devs knows that. And i believe them more than sonic.

I suggest researching “Xbox underground”

Gezine uses AI. The flow does.. Al azif does, seregon war does … just 4 more examples

Just because you dislike AI and havnt taken the time to properly learn how to use it, doesn’t mean it’s useless and can’t do anything

It helped me reverse and make all of my library’s from scratch as well as another example…

Ok, so to be clear:

1. PHU isn't coming anytime soon anymore because ArkSama pushed it back
2. SonicISO had the keys that would enable PKG file creation, but now he says he won't release them

Anything else I miss in the past few days?

I am interested in hearing more from you on this subject, especially because you are also a scene developer.

What makes you believe that the A53 Kraken from PHU is fake? Haven’t PHU proved they are legit because of all the work they have done on trophies (and their overlay)?

And what do you mean by « AI trophy unlocker »? Have you reviewed the code and found out that it could have been done entirely by an AI agent? I would assume it wasn’t an easy work because nobody seems to have done it before arksama and his team.

And I repeat, I am not trying to discredit you by any mean, I’m just legit curious.

Well, late july to early august seems pretty close if you ask me. But the real challenge will be the second release with APR support.

dr0b1 · 2026-07-14T16:11:23+0100

If he was able to get keys I bet it's just matter of time this will be public. I hate this attention needing "devs"

Look at abc who gave us couple of userland and kernel exploit. He just come with his findings and all of us benefit from him.
Or idlesauce who just came online and say hey i made kstuff that don't need pausing.
Or theflow. He said i have hv exploit and next day there it was online.
We all know that theflow has hv exploit on latest fw. But nobody is angry at him because he is not bragging about it.

Scene doesn't need this bull...

I only believe phu is fake because of the weirdness around showing previews and the fact that it was close to done, but now all of a sudden it’s months off. The only way that would happen is if he had no progress or something if I had to take an educated guess

Because up until the last week or so, the project has been almost done and ready for release. It’s quite sus. Arksama is a good guy and likely just bit off a bit more than he can chew. I hope it does see reality, and trust he’s actually trying. I just don’t think the amount of progress and all of his claims so far. Have been exactly truthful

So maybe fake was the wrong term. Hopefully this makes a bit more sense

His initial trophy unlocker work, was self claimed by him to have been done by AI. Which is perfectly fine of course

It does make more sense, thanks for your thoughts. I guess we are not *that* far away from knowing the truth so we’ll see.

Also, I wonder if PHU are suddenly concerned about the legality of releasing their work (although I believe this should only apply to the builder) which would explain the delay?

Arksama doesn’t seem to give a crap about piracy laws as he showed mentions of the famous backups website multiple times in his screenshots before but I could be wrong.

Axido · 2026-07-14T17:42:00+0100

Who's that newcomer that suspiciously looks like an alt account? Did anyone regularly posting in this thread get banned recently?

Also, I'd love if the rampant hate on devs who don't wanna risk legal consequences gets tuned down a bit. You can disagree with a position, but there's no need to forget your manners about it.

ShintaiUS · 2026-07-14T17:57:57+0100

I hate to be that guy too, I also highly doubt those scene contributors who claimed to have something special and then suddenly are pulling back for legal reasons have actually have done anything, for me is not so much that they didn't deliver, is the reasoning they used. I've seen this before in at least another scene. Gain reputation for doing something (which is greatly appreciated), claim to have done something greater, then suddenly decides to not release it for X absurd reason. I hope I am wrong.

And to be clear, I don't feel like anyone owes me or the scene anything. I also don't care about any of those things. EarthOnion, Gezine and EchoStrech's codebase is very resourceful and provides me everything I need personally. I just can't help but cringe when someone does that, like there is no need to act like the internet was invented yesterday.

BobaFett_UK · 2026-07-14T18:12:05+0100

Anyone tried the new shadowmount plus 1.7 yet? It says in the changelog that

> Games are now mounted only when launched and unmounted after exit, reducing persistent filesystem mounts.

So I assume that when the SM+ is run it no longer scans the USB and says X number of games found and mount them all (if that is what it did previously?) but now will only mount the game you start?

One other thing which i don't know has been addressed or not is that when you have say multiple SSD's with different games on, SM+ does not say which game is on that SSD so it's trial and error or if your SSD's are numbered you have a list of which games are on which SSD... Maybe a new feature is needed which highlights which games are available on the SSD?

I’ve been lurking here a while tbh, I hacked my PS5 a few months ago in large part to this thread. I’ve been reading this thread for a while since It’s the best place for scene news (I’m allergic to X). But it’s good to be here

jordash25 · 2026-07-14T18:44:23+0100

Apparently they found a way to run DenuvOwO releases on ps5 linux.

rantex92 · 2026-07-14T19:25:37+0100

need a little sanity check here :

so if i use nfnh do i have to delete the original app before i copy the exploited app from ext storage? i guess so right?

and here a different thoughtplay:

if i copy the exploited netflix app use then that to install the exploited yt app also and if i then make a system restore wich includes both yt and nf will the backup include the exploited apps or will this not work?

and came there ever something good out of the masticore exploit? i ask because than i would also include that game in that system restore

Could this be to do with what he said earlier, about the apr module part of it wasn't ready so he was debating releasing the tools early but without support for dumps that need the apr emu.

Then he would later release the apr emu games supported version later. So maybe it's something to do with that. That or it is still somehow using keys but just hasn't disclosed that.

This would give so much life to many peoples consoles. Especially given the concern around playing those releases on a windows pc. So if they can run on linux on a ps5 too, awesome.

Sorry, I didn't mean to direct that to you, but the other one that graced us with a less polite nature.

Welcome to the active side of the site. I wish you lots of fun.

dr0b1 · 2026-07-14T22:11:53+0100

I was lurking here for years also. To lazy to make account. But I'm greatly triggered by these "I have something special but I don't want to share with you" devs, and I needed to vent here for a bit.
I know that all of the top devs has private exploits that they are using to be on latest firmware and with it they are able to find another bugs. And nobody is against them because they are not yelling on twitter about it.
