Might be a tough fix as split screen requires both users to have a playstation account.

Yeah, the account situation is BS, even on retail copies but I am actually trying with two fake activated accounts so I am not sure what the issue is here.

Adding a non-fake activated account throws an error and adding a guest account doesn't even do anything, it briefly flashes black but doesn't add the second player.

In my case, I am able to add the second player, it's when I try to jump into the game that I get a black loading screen (not happening for singleplayer).

No idea but will find out tomorrow when date changes

Sorry if I gave the impression it was my discovery. I found an updated description on a website that hosts game. Wasn't there before.

The backport was done by bestpig. Siespta provided the files. Even stranger as I have version 3.000.5. Are you sure it was crashing on 3.000.4?

Wish I had met you sooner...

I don't know exact, which version it was, the version working now is the one that was uploaded 2 weeks ago on _that site_. So I guess, the non working version was older.
Only found out because of some guy on drakmors discord, where multiple users complained about the crashes and the date issue.

Now with all these jailbreak and homebrew, is it finally possible to boot and run PS5 games directly from an external SSD?

This has been possible since the beginning of time actually.

Most recent overview (has been posted before a few pages back)

Wooow, so awesome. About the achievements, is that the thing from RetroAchievements? And with hardcore support? (no save/load states) If so, that makes it even more awesome!

I would assume it would be from RetroAchievements since the PS1 did not have trophy support like the PS2. It started from the PS3.

Define SSD. A SSD (2,5-inch) or a M.2 SATA SSD or M.2 NVMe SSD.

SM+ can already load games from an external M.2 NVMe SSD. I would recommend this due to it's reading speeds. Since I have seen people running games from a USB to SATA using a tradional HDD.

Is there a link to your version of nanodns?

Prob. a source build of https://github.com/drakmor/nanoDNS/releases

But your suggestion is interesting nonetheless as they are not the same tool so it's good to know there are alternatives.

Yeah I mostly write and leave a thread open and once i'm done finding infi and writing somebody else already has posted an answer. But indeed: the more tools, the more alternatives, the better.

Tailscale update:

v0.7.1

After updating, check your autoload settings. If a payload manager or autoloader starts Tailscale with the console, make sure it starts the new version, or the old one comes back after a restart. The easy way: keep that copy under a fixed name such as tailscale.elf and save the new release over it, or name its path under Payload file to keep up to date in the settings so the Install button replaces it for you.

Updating: from 0.6.1 or later, press Install on the status page. From 0.6.0, install v0.7.0 with the Install button first, or download tailscale-0.7.1.elf and send it to the ELF loader (port 9021). From anything older, send the file by hand.

New

Wake a PC at home. A sleeping PC cannot be reached over Tailscale, but the console is on the same home network and can send it a Wake-on-LAN packet. Add the PC's name and MAC address under Wake a device at home; then, from wherever you are, open the status page over Tailscale and press Wake. The PC needs Wake-on-LAN turned on. The console reports sending the packets, but this has not been tried against a sleeping PC yet; reports are welcome.
Download diagnostics. One button under Actions gives you a single text file with the logs, version, firmware and settings to attach to a bug report. E-mail addresses, your tailnet's name, public IP addresses, keys and the password are removed; device names and tailnet addresses are not, so read it before posting.
Test a connection. Each line under Reach a device from this PS5 and each game streaming host has a test link. It tries the connection the way the PS5 would and says what happened: it answers, the device is there but nothing listens on that port, no answer (off, asleep or firewalled), or no device with that name.
"What this does, and what it does not". A short note on the status page, opened before the first login: other devices can reach the PS5, the PS5 reaches devices through an address on the console, and it is not a full VPN.

FTFY:

SATA SSD (2.5") or mSATA SSD or M.2 NVMe SSD - and that's before you get into the many different Enterprise flavours (U2, U3 etc)

oof. my very simple mistake and I was wondering why Payload Manager didn't refresh the cloud repo for me.
if anyone also having the same issue when using y2jb or y2jb-autoloader then the fix is simple: edit the DNS in appinfo_editor.py from 127.0.0.2 to 127.0.0.1, repeat patching db steps, and set the same DNS in the console's network settings.

New video by Modded

Will likely grab Prosperodstore when out of alpha but looks really promising. I particularly like the built in uninstall option.

Made me wonder. What is best practice for manually removing apps like etahen, shadowmountplus, prosperoeden etc?

Is it just a question of deleting them from data/homebrew ? Other locations to check? I want clean removal so all dependencies and config gone

SonGoku78 · 2026-10-07T10:55:42+0100

Finally had the time to tinker with my pro 13.42.
Wow that webkit is veeeery unstable for my pro.
Took me ages to setup y2jb which works very stable.
Only downside is i couldnt load etahen 2.6b, so i wanted to ask if its not compatible with 13.xx or am i doing something wrong?
It shows the usual first message that etahen is loading, but the second message that "toolbox is loaded" never is shown and no toolbox available in settings, but standard debug settings are available.
Same behaviour for payload Manager or autotext file/folder.
And no etahen folder is created under /data.

JayPea · 2026-10-07T11:01:21+0100

I stumbled upon the new Karo webkit option, via the Help/User guide, whilst helping someone else set this stuff up, yesterday. That seemed lightning quick and 100% stable. Has anyone seen an offline version of that anywhere? It'd be nice to have another reliable and rapid option to use.

This is what I have loaded now via the Payload Manager. You don't have to use the exact autoload sequence, but you get an idea of how i've set it up:

If you need all of these exact payloads i'm using here you go:

I just remove things from the FTP. I know where to look for.
If you are not using FTP you can use a file manager like for example: https://github.com/owendswang/ps5-web-file-manager/releases/tag/v1.10 or PS5 Suite: https://github.com/manos555555/PS5-Suite/releases/tag/v7.2.3

@AlphaBravo @HS2005

I am just like you alpha, i cant let issues unfixed so i just gave external backport loading another try.
So updated my sm+ to 1.7beta4, dr kftuff lite is 1.13test5, etahen 2.6b ps5 fat fw 4.03 y2jb itsplk autoloader 0.91.
@HS2005 i took your kindly linked backport files for ff7 rebirth (data/homebrew/backports/ppsa08668) and first start of rebirth i had no message of backporting and crashed only game to home. Started 007 to see backport message to check if its generally working. Second start of rebirth, boooom, message of backport AND the game loaded fine !
So external backports do work, and thats a great feature to have.

@HS2005 thanks for the links, which fw are you on that setup and which etahen version do you load? 2.6 or 2.5?
And you do have the etahen toolbox available (under ps fw 13.xx) ?

Edit: @HS2005 i see that etahen is as elf instead of bin, so thats the reason its not working as bin under 13.xx ?? never saw etahen as elf file

I generally don't like using suites where possible. Do you have any general FTP advice when doing a clean removal?

I am eager to avoid conflicts for future updates or installs.

Maybe starting with etahen and or couple of other examples apps.

I'm using FW 13.60.
etaHEN = version 2.6B
For etaHEN it does not matter if it's a .bin or a .elf. Both do the same. 2.6B is available in a .elf file

Remove the .elf and assosiated folders. Mostly on the Github page of a payload is explained where files are stored on the system.

Thanks, will try soon. And you have the etahen toolbox available in settings?
And i guess you turned kstuff loading off in etahen settings, because you are loading it standalone right?

truemaster · 2026-10-07T11:55:18+0100

man cant wait for fpkg to support up to 13.60. nothing beat it. im mostly say this because of the size exfat or ffpkg are double the size of the fpkg. and m.2 are very expensive

Rasa39 · 2026-10-07T12:02:59+0100

Are there any new or updates backpork files or homebrew to make backports?

I could never get the older backport apps to successfully get amy games booted. I'd love to get my own backports running instead of needing to wait for someone else to make one.
