Impersonation is only a problem if the person hasn't consented.

The fake name has to be part of the fraud, using the fake name because you don't want someone to know your real name is not fraud. Authors do it all the time, if they have multiple genres and don't want their readers to associate them with their other work. Often it's only the agent that knows the real persons identity, the publisher they signed a contract with does not know.

here in the United States it most certainly is fraud. Claiming to be someone you are not is fraud. Doesn't matter who you give the fake name to, if you make money from the fakery that makes it fraud. It's also a pretty good indicator that someone is hiding something by not giving their proper legal name. When criminals give police a fake name it's usually because they are wanted criminals. It's not rocket science. You either work in a profession that allows pseudonyms or you use false identities which is a crime, how do we know you didn't just steal someone's identity? Think, then post. Being a writer or an actor using pseudonyms is not the same thing as using a fake name. How do you think they cash their checks if they don't have identification for that pseudonyms?
Did you not know that the writers don't get paid directly? The agent gets paid by the publishers and then pays the writer, so the name of the writer never even matters to the publishers is the agency they do business with. Good luck lying to people though.

Hi all.
Couple questions for any in the know

1. Have you played any backups from the internal that actually worked well? I'm guessing most don't, but maybe there are a few out there that run fine??
2. Of all the projects ongoing, do any of them have any promise of allowing play for all games from internal smoothly...or is it more likely we'll always need the external ssd for the PS5?

Thanx in advance for any input

Ummm. That was a webkit exploit. Not the usb exploit.

I think it really has more to do with the "unauthorized" nature of the data being stored in the internal drive. I tried to install a version of retroarch for the ps5 and had to reinstall the firmware after a crash. I don't think I had any actual games in that internal drive but the ones I legitimately own on disc. Can't play them, but they will install after a jailbreak.

Ignore me, I read the post wrong.

hey dude
1- there are some that "Playable" on the internal already, like the first 3 stalkers, astro bot, mortal kombat 1(with some lags in the menus), ghost of tsushima and yotei and many more ... but it basically depends on the fw, version of payloads, version of apr-emu and some tinkering
2- yeap, its the PHU files we are so waiting for
im not even sure the external ssd will simply fix every problem we are currently having, there are couple of channels and groups in telegram and other places that people are testing and sharing their results of each specific games that others will know how each dump will work better, search for some of them as im not sure im alowed to share these kind of information in here

ps5upload v4.1.2

github-actions released this 13 hours ago
v4.1.2
b562f4c
A payload reliability patch. Fixes a helper crash ~5 seconds after install
rejection on firmware 10.xx, and adds Polish language support.

Fixed: helper dies after install rejection on FW 10.00+ (issue #152).
The payload's install-init authid threshold was fw_major >= 11 — use the
SYSTEM authid only on FW 11+, ShellCore everywhere below. But FW 10.xx
has the same SYSTEM-authid gate for sceAppInstUtilInitialize: calling it
under ShellCore leaves Sony's installer daemon (IPMI) half-wedged. The
immediate InstallByPackage returns 0x80B2116F, and roughly 5 seconds
later Sony's installer watchdog SIGKILLs our process — exactly the
"helper dies after I click install" symptom in the bug bundle. The threshold
is now fw_major >= 10, matching what the standalone DPI daemon already
does on all firmwares. Users on FW 10.xx+ who push the updated payload from
Connection → Send payload will stop seeing the post-reject crash.
Fixed: outdated "Connect to your PS5" description (issue #208). The
connection-screen blurb still said the helper stays loaded only until rest
mode — which was true before the 4.1.0 auto-reconnect release but reads as
stale now. Rewritten to point at the auto-reconnect toggle (on by default).
New: Polish (Polski) language support. Thanks @heni0xyz for the
contribution. Selectable from the language picker; the completeness test
now covers pl alongside the other 18 locales.

shouldn't be nothing but a timed script or actual program to mount or unmount a USB drive needed at the appropiate time. And them boards probably minus the old outdated esp are capable of doing more than just a webkit exploit. Probally just wishful thinking on my end.

About progress on PS5 Linux performances.

As far as I understand, it's not raw power the limiting factor in running more recent/demanding games, but memory allocation.
Given this is a structural problem (and not a bug), is there hope that we could achieve meaningful gains in this area?

Micro controllers can do a lot more than just host web servers

Anyone tried the modchip from switch on ps5? Hihi

alfatoria · 2026-07-20T17:25:33+0100

Hi, I found a console running firmware 3.xx. I'd like to know how you handle games, since most of the time the backports are based on 4.xx.

I believe it's update to 4 or use the ps5 on fw 3 to play/install ps4 pkg

I meant that the code needed to exploit would be on the USB drive. If the esp device is capable of a USB connection, I doubt it will have the space required since it specified a 250gb drive minimum

Not unless we can bypass the Sony system that's using all that memory.

Can they store 250gb of data? because that was what the developer said was required.

sure with an sd card or a usb pass through

It’s not that hard to add storage to a micro controller or use a micro controller as a middle man …

No backports for 3.xx.

Hahhaahha. That just defeats the purpose. That's like using a dial up modem and connecting it to a router. No need for any of that when you can just use one device and one USB port.
I used all my d1 mini boards for motion tracking anyway.
