Im on firmware 8.40 and poopsploit wont work but Y2JB and lapse are working like 90% of the time.

I decided to update to 9 and it's been working pretty much 99%.

Zero clue I only tested 5.50 and my 13.4gw is so unstable I can’t use it rn

Unless that was fixed in the last like 24 hours lol

Tested on 13.60! No results so far, no notif. popups or any kind of device detection. If that serves

Speaking of which, I remembered yesterday that Gezine found another Y2JB PKG version we can downlod and install... I made the PKGs for two previous versions, I will make a new one ( on EU, US and ASIA ) for the version thatis usable on 13.xx and 14.xx, the thing is, do we have the version number ? is it just the latest ? And, the second part, does youtube app have permissions to launch the kernelmode exploit from youtube app usermode environment ? Also, we would need someone to port current kernel exploit thing to a download0.dat style package to put in /user/download/(youtubeapp)/download0.dat in case the environment in the youtube app permits launching the kernelmode exploit...

I guess someone is on it already, but I'll look for the youtube app version and create the PKGs.

No you're not blind. For some yes. Check Gezine his Github.

It affects these versions:

US - PPSA01650 (01.009.253 - 13.40) + (01.009.371 - 13.60)
EU - PPSA01651 (01.009.253 - 13.40) + (01.009.371 - 13.60)
JP - PPSA01652 (01.009.253 - 13.40) + (01.009.371 - 13.60)

We have this:

Hmmm, not being able to close the YT app... but that seems like doable with some kernelmode code...

People are reporting that illusion's patches for PS4 games are working via manual installation, on 13.20 at least, with the steps given in their repository for the PS5 usage. Haven't seen anything for 13.4x or 13.60. I'm far from my console right know, so no clue if it works for 13.60 yet.

Oh yeah, I guess it only happened with fpkg installed stuff before too. I mostly have the storage packed with purchased content. Looking into the stuff for dumping already as well.

I want your opinion. Is 13.60 superior in every aspect or not having yet fpkg is a limiting factor?

My ps5 will just shut off after using payload manager

I dont think its any better, mostly just more compatible with newer games.

Is there a fix for elfdir not working? I updated itsplk's webkit autoloader on 13.4 which solved my inconsistant boot issue, and crashing

Now I just cant send any payloads outside of the initial autoload

PS5 RetroArch v0.5.6-alpha.5

Native RetroArch for jailbroken PS5 consoles, rendering through RADV.

Highlights

Nintendo 64 frame drops fixed. Some of you reported Nintendo 64 games
dropping frames, with crackling audio, and upscaling that seemed impossible
to change. The core now upscales 4× by default (8× is still available), and
my test game runs at a steady 59.9 fps with clean audio. Details below.
Every core re-tested before release. Every core in this package ran its
game on the console with the exact files in this ZIP: boot, the menu opened
and closed twice, Close Content, and the same game loaded again, with the
frame rate, audio and picture checked before and after. (Beetle Saturn only
as far as it goes without a BIOS, which I don't have.)
Licensing made explicit. A LEGAL.txt file now sits at the top of the
title folder, and the same notice opens licenses/README.txt: no piracy, and
RPCS3 only compiled from source. The README says the same wherever games,
system files or licences come up.
New launcher background. The title's background on the PS5 home screen
had been converted from an image whose origin wasn't recorded. It's now a
gradient drawn by a script in the repository (tools/make-title-art.py), so
every part of the package has a known origin and licence.

Nintendo 64: frame drops and resolution scaling

What you saw. Nintendo 64 games started fine, then dropped frames
constantly; the audio clipping gave it away. The
resolution scaling option seemed to do nothing.

Why. ParaLLEl-RDP, the core's GPU renderer, was set to its maximum, 8×
upscaling (2560×1920 for a 320×240 game, then scaled to 4K). On my console,
my test game at 8× kept the GPU busy long enough that the core waited on it
for about 2.4 seconds of every 10; at 4× it waited 0.2 seconds, about ten
times less. That left 8× no margin: the logs you sent showed each GPU
submission taking about twice as long as on my console, and the game running
at roughly 75 to 85% speed. And the upscaling factor is read only when a game
starts, so a change in the Quick Menu shows nothing until the game is started
again, which made the option look broken.

What changed.

4× is the new default on the PS5 (1280×960 for a 320×240 game), still
far above the N64's own resolution and sharp at 4K. On my console my test
game runs at 59.9 fps with clean audio.
To change the factor, pick 1×, 2×, 4× or 8× under Quick Menu → Core
Options → ParaLLEl-RDP → Upscaling factor, then Close Content and load the
game again: the new factor is used from the next start. The option's help
text in this version says it takes effect at the next frame. That's wrong:
I wrote the code for it, but my test on the console showed the change doesn't
happen until the game restarts (see Known issues).

If you're updating: your saved options are kept, including an 8× that
the previous version saved for you. Set Upscaling factor to 4x once
(Quick Menu → Core Options → ParaLLEl-RDP), then Close Content and load the
game again. It's saved from then on.

Other changes

Graphics driver. RADV (PS5_Mesa 0b2d6d1a61d) gains an optional
threaded command-recording layer. It's off, so rendering is unchanged; it
passed a 474,440-case conformance run with two fixes made along the way, and
stays off until it measures faster in a game.
Platform layer. The payload SDK fork adds a CPU topology probe, a
diagnostic only.
Release builds leave RPCS3 out by themselves, and the release check
fails on any RPCS3 file, so a PS3 core can't end up in a package by mistake.
Test tooling. Pad-script frame marks count frames that miss a 30 fps
slot, the measure behind "a steady 30".

So Relapse needs network connected but doesnt need internet when using webkit installed. Did anyone tried a loopback Ethernet adapter?? If i have Time over the weekend i might try it myself but if someone has a spare one around or want to do it from some spare cable that will help a lot and we will have fully offline solution.

It straight up says on the github:

PlayStation 3 (RPCS3) is not in any release. RPCS3 is licensed GPL-2.0-only and this port is GPL-3.0-or-later: the two cannot be distributed together as one program. Its source is public, and you must compile it yourself from source for your own console (see PlayStation 3 (RPCS3): build it yourself).

it will never come pre compiled. its able to be compiled and runs games fine as of now
