PS5 Exploit Guide

HS2005 · 2026-10-10T08:50:31+0100

Updated VLC for the PS5:

VLC PS5 v0.3.1

Fixed

No sound on Dolby TrueHD tracks: videos whose main track is TrueHD (common on Blu-ray rips) played silently, while their AC3 and DTS tracks worked
IPTV picture zooming in after a while: when a stream changed its quality or picture shape, the picture kept the old shape and couldn't be fixed. It now follows the stream
A memory error in IPTV and other streaming (HLS) playback that could make VLC unstable
No more "can't keep up" false alarms right after adding a subtitle

Install

Extract PPSA85300.zip and copy the PPSA85300 folder to /data/homebrew/.
Run kstuff and ShadowMountPlus.
Start VLC from the home screen.
Add your media on a USB drive, or /data/vlc/, also from your phone or pc.

Optional full access. With etaHEN, OnionHEN or the Helper, VLC can lift its sandbox. This gives it all of /data and USB drives plugged in while it runs. download helper.elf

Anyone managed to get games in LZ4 format to work? I tried converting my game dumps (Wolverine and Spider-Man Remastered) to LZ4 format using Lazy_AMPR on Github and met with either a blank screen or an immediate crash to homescreen. I have also tried setting the folder permissions to 777 using FileZilla on the Youtube guide here:

Does the homebrew folder on the external NVME need to be set to 777 for permissions as well? I've only tried the folders inside the homebrew folder only.

Currently running kstuff-lite 1.13 fpkg dr test5 and ShadowmountPlus 1.7beta4 on firmware 12.00 PS5 Pro. Also met with the message "PPR patch failed" when running the kstuff payload. Does the order of the payload matter? Should I launch kstuff-lite first or Shadowmount Plus? Non LZ4 format games work fine.

Additionally, not sure if this matters but I am also currently using itsPLK's webkit autoloader 0.4.0. Didn't want to upgrade since this version seemed to work well on my system.

Edit: Both my game dumps contain Backport files. Would that interfere with the compression process?

Read carefully before going and downloading. And just wait for things to be cleaned up.

FYI; I don't play GT7, but for those who do. ^^

To confirm the autoload sequence...?

nanodns
kstuff
payload manager
shadowmount

Payload Manager
NanoDNS
kstuff
Shadowmount

The usual setup is to have Payload Manager go first to bootstrap the other payloads. So it needs to go first, followed by NanoDNS to get networking working again. Then kstuff to actually provide the necessary console hacks, and then finally Shadowmount can do its thing.

Looks like itsPLK-Y2JB-Autoloader got a (non-dev) 1.0.0 update

Interesting, PLK has not only replaced P2JB with Relapse as the default kernel exploit for firmwares over 10.01 (which is to be expected), but he's replaced Lapse with Relapse as the default for firmwares 8.00 to 10.01. That is a rather significant vote of confidence in the stability of Relapse, I feel.

(To be sure, Y2JB-Autoloader still supports Lapse, but it's only used for firmwares below 8.xx and compatible systems without an active network interface)

And the notes from the readme, for some additional technical details:

-- Features, Fixes & Additions --
- Offline mode (derived from High-Speed007 and PSVIETHOA's work)
- Fixed Used Car Dealership and Legendary Car Dealership listings. The dealerships are now properly populated, and the car list is updated every 1 hour (with the option to change the rotation period to 1 minute).
- Fixed vehicle, suit and helmet liveries
- Fixed Scapes mode
- Fixed OOB setup
- Fixed nicknames
- Moved offline saves to the default save location for the game, so they can get picked up by tools like Garlic Save Manager (https://github.com/earthonion/garlic-savemgr)
- Added optional DLC unlocks for Power Pack DLC and pre-release DLCs
- Made Debug Menu optional
- Removed the automatic unlocking of all cars (that the original patch introduced), which broke progression

All the additional fixes that this patch provides aim to offer a complete offline experience for the game and vanilla progression.

I had thought that the first offline patch was complete, but I guess not.

Though it sounds like they have a difference of opinion in how to go about patching the game.

- Why does this patch need the original eboot.bin? Because we believe that hardcoding the patches on the binary is problematic and hard to update/improve on. On top of that, it is not open source. Patching the original binaries is cleaner.

As far as I know, there's no way to bundle ps-patch-system directly with a game. So I would not be surprised if the updated packages still get their binaries hard patched so that those games can be run without further configuration.

What a ball-ache. After extracting 300GB/100k files and then uploading them all (13.60, no fpkg for me), it runs then errors out with CE-108255-1. If anyone has a list of pointers to try, or links to previous helpful posts, I'm all ears. Thanks in advance.

Other titles work, so I know I'm golden in my setup, GT7 doesn't, for me. Looks like I'm back to my disc & offline mode

Still the same error after converting to .exfat. FFS.

Tried all flavour of Kstuff (1.11+) I'm at a loss. Checked user/data for rogue installs. Nothing weird going on there. I'm open to any other suggestions. Could my historic/retail save be causing this? Did the people that have no issues launching it do anything other than transfer & run? If so, I don't know where else to go. So fed up with it. I've already been through some GeminLIE suggestions and that ended up ruining my y2jb install - FYI don't rebuild indexes if you've patched y2JB to stop updates as it removes the app and makes the reinstall impossible :rofl2:

This same driver logic will also work for that to allow native switch carts to work with prosperoEden

Theres a youtube vid i watch this week that suggests you need to add a fakelib folder and 2 files inside to work.

I tried installing an update (prosperopatches) to a backported ps5 game. Under game info, shows as installed but when launching, game is corrupt.

Either conflict with backport and new update or issue with update itself. The PKG file is encrypted.

Would like to test further but can't really find simple solution to decrypting update files. Any suggestions??

Newly obtained folder images are all showing CE-108255-1.

Time to stop wasting my weekend(s) on this shit until reliability improves.

For Garlic savemgr revert to https://git.etawen.dev/earthonion/garlic-savemgr/tags
The github repo is not maintained anymore. Most actual stuff is on git.etawen.dev

Depends. You did not ask:

- What is your FW
- What is your current setup
- What is the source of your folder (without sharing Warez links)
- What applications do you use for convertion (if applied)
- Do you make use of plyGo/Backports/APR-EMU

This will give more insights in what step there is an error.

If I am understanding you correctly, you tried to install an official PS5 update package on top of a backported game? (Presumably an installed fPKG?)

If so, that doesn't work. Official patches cannot be mixed with dumped games. The patch needs to be applied to a legit copy of the game, and then the whole thing dumped again.

You can then make a new full fPKG from the updated dump. Or an update fPKG can be generated by current tools by comparing the original full fPKG to the updated dump.

Thanks. I assumed as much from my little tests. It's complicated. The original game works on my old firmware. But the latest update requires a much newer fw to work.

Can you still install the games and their updates despite not working on an old firmware and still dump using those tools??

I could then take that decrypted update and apply it to game and it's existing backport file.

Hopefully this makes sense.
