Same issue with Stellar Blade + DLC (PPSA13197). Game doesnt boot and locks. Cant be closed.

Thank you for saving me time

I converted it too via 0.6.8 but didn’t install it yet.

If that game + dlc works then everything works lol

So maybe THAT is what we are waiting on: for the hypervisor to be patched. So, at least SOME good news that it hasn't been patched on 14.00 which is supposed to be where you need the HV to dump games.

The thing is, the third person didn't do anything. Jordy just got it in his head that if someone else found it, more people would, so he cashed out. There was no dialogue or attempt made like TheFlow did to preserve the HV exploit, he just cashed his chips in and thought only of himself.

This is why that fucking bug bounty system was introduced in the first place. Until now, the difficulty level was such that professionalism ruled among the legitimate security experts despite the monetary incentives. Now that these undisciplined people are coming in, the fragile peace has been shattered. Sony bet peoples' selfishness would eventually pay off big time and the tree is now bearing fruit.

Fucking bingo.

Probably unpopular to say this, but Flow, for as godly as he is with his knowledge, is doing entirely too much. He's talking out of both sides of his mouth. He says he's vehemently against dumping and piracy (at least for as long as I've seen him post publicly, even going back to the PS4 days), yet he said he wanted to wait to disclose it so that people could "people would have the opportunity to legally purchase the game and also enjoy Linux"? I don't think that really makes sense. He frames it like it's about Linux, when in reality it is obviously implied that it's about dumping GTA, imo. Obviously, it doesn't literally say that and that's my assumption, though.

What!? It DOES make sense. If someone wants and is purchasing the game, they would have both. Now their choices are keep your console on an older firmware to have access to Linux and buy a new one for GTA 6 OR update your console to play GTA 6 and miss out on Linux. I don't think is that complicated. The real question is, why are you talking about piracy or implying piracy?

To be sure, the version that doesn't ship with DLC works as an FPKG. It's the version that tries to include the DLC that faceplants. (And be sure to remove ampr_emu before packaging it)

Yes but the pkg builder should ignore what is not necessary by itself

So in a nutshell, HV upto 14.00, GTA VI can still be dumped with Keys and Game will likely be backported. Whole incident Seems like bit of a nothing Burger except to portray Claude & Jordy as next antichrist

So FW 14.00 will be new "golden FW" that includes HV?

Has anyone tested WebKit on 14.00?

-----------

In any case, it will always depend on a few people whether they perform a dump using their private methods and make it available to the community, which could theoretically create a backport... So, it’s not about when Sony fixes something, but rather whether certain individuals or groups are willing to share result(dump game)

How did you manage to get it working? Using that new tool?

I have a 512GB NVMe drive(speed 2000-3000) in USB enclosure, and I'm wondering whether to keep it there or install it in the console's M.2 slot. I'm a bit concerned about cooling, though I do have the thermal pad that came with usb enclosure (I'm not sure if that will be enough).

Here is my humble opinion on firmware versions; naturally, this could change at any time.

FW 1.xx–3.xx: Stay here because of a rumored "keys exploit."

FW 4.xx–11.40: All firmwares in this range can theoretically update to 11.40, as it supports everything—webkit, HV, BD-J, y2jb—and also supports the current fpkg method that doesn't require HV. The only thing it definitely lacks right now is "redis" (which is only up to 7.61 and is supposedly for autobooting... though some people might not consider that essential.

FW 11.60–13.42/13.60: In this range, users could update to 13.42 or 13.60. The difference is that BD-J support currently only goes up to 13.42, so 13.60 doesn't support BD-J userland at the moment. They supposedly have webkit, y2jb, and HV, but still lack redis. Unfortunately, the fpkg method without HV doesn't work here. Of course, not everything has been implemented for 13.xx yet, but it just takes a little time for the developers.

Of course, a keys exploit for FW 1.xx–7.xx could be released tomorrow, so it is always better to stay on the lowest fw version possible.

Do you agree, or do you have a different opinion on the firmware ranges I mentioned? Please share your thoughts.

I would stop at 11.60 and start a new range 11.60-12.20 because they still have access to poopsploit and don't need to fuck with that 45 minute P2JB. Yeah they don't have as many options as the lower one but until a new JB comes out, those 12xxx have to continue to feel the pressure of waiting 45 minutes and don't need to be included among the lower firmware users.

P.S. until something is out for the public, it does not exist. Example GTA6 is a trailer and nothing more right now, it doesn't exist in this reality.

Correction Poopsploit only supported to 12.00 firmware. Thanks ThePSGuy

Davide6 · 2026-09-17T11:53:09+0100

I’ve included new kernel exploit in 11.60–13.60 category, since exploit was reportedly patched in version 14.00; unlike with P2JB, this new kernel exploit doesn't require a long wait.

Of course, a new HV exploit hasn't been released yet, so Linux support is currently limited to firmware 7.61... but all indications suggest there’s nothing stopping it from coming to firmware 13.60 in the future.

That range takes near future into account; for now, it is obviously better to avoid P2JB if possible

Well, I'd extend that to 14.00 ( and potentially 14.0x... ):

The thing is Sonic-Iso says 14.00 hypervisor exploit is still there, not patched. But he also says kernel exploit has been patched... there's some corner case possibilities ( the hypervisor exploit being directly accessible from user mode... veery unlikely ) but very probably this means:

How do they know the hypervisor exploit is still there if the kernel mode exploit is patched ? this would be because they have other entry-point and kernel exploits that allows them to jailbreak 14.00 and test if the hypervisor exploit works. So, they saw that the public kernel exploit doesn't work, but by using other private exploits they have they managed to get in and from there, from the basic jailbreak state, they tested the hypervisor exploit and they found it remains unpatched.

So, this would mean 14.00 is compromised to the same extent as 13.60, except the user and kernel exploits are private for now, while the hypervisor exploit is the same for both 13.60 and 14.00. Good news, I suppose, but be careful not to jump to conclusions: GTA6 might require the absolute latest firmware when it launches. Since it's digital and requires PSN, they could release GTA6 requiring, say, 14.0x ( where x > 0 ) and, days before GTA6, release a firmware update to that 14.0x, a firmware that patches the hypervisor exploit we have... *However*, as long as those private user and kernel exploits -not the ones we have for 13.60, but the private ones the devs have- remain unknown to the public, those devs would still have a basic jailbreak when GTA6 and that 14.0x firmware arrive. The question is whether they'll be able to dump GTA6 using that basic jailbreak without hypervisor access. It seems Sony has made changes to prevent games from being dumped without hypervisor access ( I can imagine methods like encrypted code snippets sent to the hypervisor to be decrypted and executed there, code that does vital things for the game's logic... ).

My guess: using those basic jailbreak exploits -without the hypervisor exploit and access- they might manage to dump GTA6... but this time I’m leaning toward something more extreme, looking at teams like DUPLEX or others and maybe using new means of dumping ( and decrypting ) games... don't forget/underestimate those teams...

I'm currently sitting on 4.50 casually playing in old games which came as fpkg for ps4. When 12.0 dropped my initial thought was to jump to 12.0 right away, even though redis looks cool but too few people are tested it so it has some problems and nobody seems to working on then atm. Then fpkg dropped and for whatever reason its not working past 11.40 smh. I would kick myself in the nuts if I've jumped to 12.0 already, so basically it's chill on 4.50 for me indefinitely until either community comes to an agreement for golden fw or when I would really have a reason to update to play something like gta6 on 13.60 with backport. But I've already skipped many major ps5 titles like that and won't be surprised if even gta6 wouldn't budge me into updating my good ol' fatty on 4.50

This, except the small mistake you made about 12.20 which doesn't support poopsploit (12.00 max).

But all and all, I would say there is no magic sheet to know what firmware you need to be on as the scene have been evolving rapidly these past weeks.

For example, 11.40 wasn't considered as "better" than 12.00 until a few days ago when FPKG finally got released.

The golden rule everyone should follow is just to stay where they are unless they absolutely need to upgrade for whatever reason (which in most case doesn't even exist to begin with).

It’s amazing that HV exploit reportedly still works on 14.00, even though one kernel exploit was apparently patched. I have no doubt another kernel exploit will surface eventually, but I’m not sure when—it could be a long time off.

That’s why it’s better to stay on 13.60 for now, as a new exploit might be just around the corner (something other developers have also suggested).

We’ve gotten used to seeing a lot of new kernel exploits lately, but let’s not forget that hasn’t always been the case.

It’s true that everything can change overnight... an fpkg method involving HV hasn't been created yet, so—unexpectedly—the method that doesn't require HV only works up to version 11.40.

I also used to think it was better to be on 12.00, but then that method for 11.40 came along... anyway, it would be great if HV made it possible to install fpkgs on firmware 13.60 as well.

I think the worst thing is that theflow left the scene because he was working on adding linux support for ps5 pro - and now he's not.

I don't care about gta etc, I wanted a really nice ps5 pro linux release that I'm sure would have been delivered.
Hopefully someone else can do the magic.
