would anyone be interested in giving the new ghost control and its toolbox a beta test ? It works on my 5.5 console but other firmwares quickly introduce bugs

On firm 10.20 using the previous GC version. Let me know how i can help

Edit: can test with 8bitdo ultimate 2, easysmx x05 and bunch of other controllers.

It’s only a “hassle” if they’re just telling Claude how to code and don’t truly understand how things work or what they’re doing. A real dev does and can explain. We see it in the MiSTer community all the time. Devs breaking down how things work and why. Hell, even with systems previous to this when we had actual devs in the scene and not a bunch of vibe coding bounty hunters, we always seen explanations and videos of how things worked and how they got there.

I know kissing ass is the norm here and you people want to normalize this kind of thing, but I’m not doing it.

You wonder WHY legit devs are leaving this scene? Because it’s full of toxic vibe coders who just type a few things into Claude and use their social media pages to gain clout and attention. I been in various scenes since the Dreamcast era and I’ve never seen a scene as toxic and inexcusable as this one.

Both these vibe coders and the people that worship them. I respect people who actually put in the work. I can tell a vibe coder apart from a legit programmer and congratulations.

You failed.

That’s not what I said.

I explained why it’s not possible since none of these supposed “devs” can explain why it’s not possible yet. I gave them a chance to explain, they didn’t. So I did.

I knew the answer, I was waiting for them to explain it.

Another reason information isn’t being shared early in regards to this stuff

Is if someone(a vibe coder) decides to jump the gun and beat someone to the punch (which is fine ofc) is because a lot can go wrong on this level .. by accident or on purpose

For example I bricked 2 consoles and was able to trace it back reliably to make a payload that purposely bricks consoles. Now I would never share this but with information ark and those other devs know

Anyone with a half a brain can read between the lines and recreate it. Give us a pikabrick situation.

Also with how complicated a53 is, any write up ark would give I’m sure would also be not 100% accurate in a week or 2s time either.

I was helping him briefly, it has happened several times. Anything wr thought that we knew. We where sorely mistaken and it was a honey pot. Nothing is being worked on from plaintext. It’s watching logs and throwing the dumps into ghidra and hoping to learn and recreate their flow

It’s not a deep conspiracy there a lot of moving parts and it’s a fickle mistress (a53)

We wouldn't have Jordy WebKit We're it not for use of "AI" assistance. I think the tool has it's place like any other. Of course better if dev has background in coding.

I have watched ps5 scene for years and let me tell you, there are all kinds of reasons Devs have left. Sometimes it toxic user, sometimes it's in-fighting and bad behaviour of other Devs e.g ego, stealing code,etc. List goes on....

I just laugh when scene is turned into politics or one group blaming another. To much hypocrisy and blame to go around.

It's mostly a symbiotic relationship. Devs get to do research while receiving some donations & possible Job opportunities while User gets a Jail broken device. I might be wrong but that was my basic interpretation.

Anyone using onionhen, do you always get the onionhen shortcut in the top right of the xmb like in modded warfares video?
I'm on 6.02 and it seems any payload that tries to put a shortcut up there, fails to do so.

Yeah, i always get the icon on top right. Firm 10.20

I have a LOT of controllers, I have lost the count of them all, lots of NSO ones, maybe near a dozen 8bitdos, a couple of gulikit kingkongs, ps3, ps4, ps5, xbox,... a lot. I am studying a masters degree and also work 8h a day, so my time is on a period by period basis, so to say, but if I can help...

By the way, I envy you, ArkSama and you both; hopefully I'll learn enough do do some small first step apps/payloads and we shall see from that...

And that’s sadly part of my point. I’m more wanting explanations to help others so we don’t get hundreds of people wanting free shit. I’m trying to explain why things aren’t possible at the moment and how they work.

But like you explained in this scene, it is hard to explain things because then someone could take that and use it for their own benefit instead of working together as a community. And a big reason of that is all these bounty programs. Sony has literally made a community where we’re all attacking each other instead of working together with what we know. Because the first one to the dance gets the 10 grand or 25 grand, whichever they pay out. I completely get that. Don’t like it, but I completely get it.

Believe it or not, I’m in the middle. I understand the frustration from the average user, but I also know how tiring it is to answer every little thing or comment. I noticed lots of times we’re actually on the same side, but because I’m not one to accept excuses or to be more blunt, it doesn’t seem that way. I hold accountability. I always have.

If Ark would just say, hey, look, it’s not possible right now because the current exploit doesn’t allow us to do that. That’s fine. But he went on his social media talking about GTA VI, and all of a sudden everyone’s confused. So that’s why I asked for the explanation.

But when you just use LLMs instead of actually learning how to code and or understanding how the hardware works, it’s very easy to give misinformation. So that’s a problem too.

Hey anything you can offer to help
Would be appreciated! I understand life comes first ofc so anything you can try is much appreciated please PM me

As for the small steps, don’t lose hope. 9 months ago I didn’t know Shit about fuck. SonicISO was spoon feeding me on how to even restore my fw or get backports installed

We all gotta start somewhere but that is where the community’s power shines ! I’m always happy to help you (or anyone else) however I can

If it wasn’t for the community I wouldn’t have learned a single thing and would have stopped at one console lol

Here’s a piece of advice: AI is good as a testing tool or an assistant. But the programming and actual work should come from you. Start small and only get more technical when it and when you feel confident enough. You’re gonna fuck up. Probably many times. But keep at it. And if something is frustrating and you hit that brick wall, it’s okay to leave it and come back. The answers always come when you aren’t looking. Like finding a partner in real life.

Assistance is fine. But when it’s used to completely code because the person doesn’t know what they’re doing, that’s a problem. It’s great to help test a theory, but not to program with.

PS5 RetroArch — Alpha 2

This release adds PPSSPP, the first core that renders on the PS5's GPU. It runs through PS5_Vulkan with its JIT enabled. RetroArch also now outputs at 120 Hz when your display supports it.

What's new

PPSSPP (PlayStation Portable), hardware-rendered. God of War: Ghost of Sparta and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force are tested at 10× internal resolution (4800×2720) with 16× anisotropic filtering. Both run at full speed with correct
colours.
120 Hz output, with a 60 Hz fallback. Cores that run at 60 FPS keep their normal speed at 120 Hz.
Save states and fast-forward work, including in PPSSPP. Loading a PPSSPP save state dropped from about 20 seconds to a fraction of a second, and creating one no longer freezes the game.
Closing content and loading another game works reliably, including closing a PSP game and opening it again.
Smoother gameplay. Logging and shader work no longer stall frames.
The last frame stays on screen while the video driver reinitialises, instead of going black.
Fixed a crash when starting Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force and other games that check free disk space.

I usually don’t use emulators on console, but seeing PSP in 10x, I gotta give that a shot.

The thing is I have a lot of x86(-64) experience ( 25+ years ) and I do lowlevel stuff for a living, but I have to get going in the PS5/FreeBSD/... environment O: ) Good to know there's devs in the scene that help others though

P.S.: You have a new Patreon member

If/when you begin

I recommend learning from the etahen source code. LM did an amazing job and covered damn near anything you can think of in some aspect.

It’s how I learned the initial XMB patching protocol

If you have years of low level experience and are comfortable working with Linux and ARM processors, the MiSTer FPGA project is a good place to program too. Also being able to port those cores to things like the Analogue Pocket, Game Bub, and *bleh* M64.

Was this the one you were talking about?

https://github.com/OnBrandRP/PS5-Prolapse/releases/tag/v2-finished

Grabbed it just in case. Got errands to run in a bit, so don't have the time right now to see if it works.

EDIT: Comes up as a 404, but I grabbed it if anyone wants it.

That’s the Rick roll lol I didn’t even run that

The source code on the GitHub itself isn’t even related to that exe either

Indeed. Webkit is announced. Random Github: just double click the .exe you'll be fine.
