Nope,

Fpkg installed games were always closing entering rest mode

Yeah this like even 2 seconds faster what I have now. Nice!
EDIT: Just upgraded. Yeah it's damn fast.

So you saying I don't need that ESp32 thingy?

Nope; no external hardware is needed. Y2JB is completely self-contained.

Oh wow, this version is indeed blazing fast, ~6s between YouTube startup and first debug notification.

Weren't closing for me on either PS4 or ps5 games (fpkg). 6.02fw, sm+ 1.7beta3, kstuff 1.6 test 6. But then perhaps it was certain games or payload related?

Well not for the regular (exfcat etc.) formats. Rest mode works. This only affects fpkg.

You can use it, but it's not needed. Y2JB is a all-in-one solution. Make sure to also use https://github.com/Epinorr/y2jb-update-blocker/releases/tag/v1.0.2

Setting a local host address (class A) so 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.0.2 is pretty much enough.
Never has any casses where something accidently updated like a game updayte, PS5 system update or homebrew update.

I don't use or make use of a ESP32 device due to having the settings above ^^.

How come?? You still need a network connection. Even without internet. ESP is doing just that. Allowing you to jailbreak without real internet. Its 100% sure that you wouldnt update with it. Using DNS or blocking your console on the router its working but there is a small chance that will update. ESP is 100% offline solution. Or maybe i read it wrong but Removed network log server check its just making it faster not disabling need of network.

Can i ask the brains trust, if i am not too fussed about linux, would i be mad to use my 13.6 Pro as my JB machine, and update my 7.61 original disc to use online with family/friends?

I'm on 5.5 and use the offline psviethoa webkit autoloader, which somebody recommended here, plus payload manager.

In comparison with the webkit on my ps4 pro (9.00), it's rock solid. From 50 attempts, i only have 2-3 fails.

But if there is better webkit autoloader, please tell me

Because the autoloader is offline by now, I attach the file.

I would like to see a evaluation of all different jailbreak ways and which one is the most stable one, for the different entrypoints

I’ve been using Jordy’s auto jailbreak. Which automatically jailbreaks the console, it has only failed to run maybe 1 or 2 times in about 100 attempts so it is insanely stable. And also since the console is set to log in automatically I just turn the PS5 on and everything is handled itself. Makes it much easier if for example my gf wants to play

Is that update blocker actually needed ? In my experience with this:

- At first I had the YouTube app updated every now and then and had to use webkit to redo the download0.dat in /user/downloads/PPSA0165x/. I was installing without using y2jb_update.zip, I just overwrote the download0.zip.

- After some of these I learned how to mod appinfo.db and the .json files and did that and that was a solution, weeks without losing y2jb or without YouTube app updates.

- Then I saw comments where the theory was doing not only the appinfo.db and json files but also de app.db file, so I changed that too ( using the proper sql lite db editor and using the sql sentences described and so on, I even read the state after the sentences executed and made sure all was good )... BUT, the YouTube app soon updated after this "change all things", so it was theoretically thorough but it happened that somehow, maybe changing the app.db or whatever, somehow triggered a renewal or... the fact is the thorough change version led to a YouTube app update soon after. And I redid the whole reinstall + editions again and again and I always got it working fine but soon after the YouTube app updated.

- I even wrote a payload called iwY2JBs - as in I Want You 2 Just Be Still, lol - ( I still have it, mixed coding, me + Claude, it does actually work fine to do the theoretical changes on any combination of PPSA0165x apps, their json and db files, if anyone is interested... ) but I didn't publish it because of what I say, if I do the thorough changes YouTube app will update soon after. Again, many complete cycles of reinstall, use the payload to have all edited, have Y2JB working fine and like... even as short as minutes after, boom, YouTube app updated again

.

- Then, after seeing people saying they didn't do anything for the anti-update, seeing they just installed the Y2JB as described and never got it updated, I thought: hmmm, you always install via download0.dat overwrite only, what if the y2jb_update.zip cycle is needed ? what if the initial download0.dat carries the exploit thing, of course, but can't actually be the final version of file contents/descriptions/permissions/... and the y2jb_update.zip cycle is needed so that in the first update, it can now change those contents/descriptions/permissions/... and let them in a state that is protected against updates ? Well, I started updating my Y2JB by doing the download0.dat overwrite PLUS the y2jb_update.zip in /data/ and first update cycle, as described. Result ? well, it's been a couple of weeks with no YouTube app updates.

So... all this is empirical and not extensive enough, but until I see some contraexample... the thing is that a lot of people who installed the Y2JB via the described means and did the y2jb_update.zip update cycle have said they still have their YouTube app intact, no need for any editing or protective payloads... Also, itsPLK and others don't say anything about protecting those...

Anyway, we shall see, but there's some bits more we don't completely know that would explain these quirks, for sure...

Not needed. Just an option as I mentioned. I did it because I sometimes switch the full internet access and local domain. This tool prevented the YT being updated. When I click on the YT app when having full internet access it won't update so that helps. It's an easy tool to use. Just for convenience...

Yeah I just tested that.
Hitting the switch that allowed no connection at all and run Y2JB. It will give a message that no kernel exploit has been loaded. So that's not going to work. Though I would try looking at the recent updates / developments. Well seems still sticking to the old formula is the way to go.

Im sure they will, but I cant imagine playing it that way when it looks so smooth on real hardware.

Why cant NanoDNS block YT automatically? Nice feature would be to select what services to block (if now some dont want to block YT)
I have the ytblocker installed and i added the yt block lines manually in NanoDNS just for this.

Why not report it as a feature. Mentioning improvements here won't help the cause.
I would suggest to submit your feature here: https://github.com/drakmor/nanoDNS/issues

Yes you need to add IP addresses manually in the .ini file > /data/nanodns/nanodns.ini
For example for those who want to know:

Code:

[overrides]
*.playstation.com=0.0.0.0
*.playstation.com.*=0.0.0.0
playstation.com=0.0.0.0
*.playstation.net=0.0.0.0
*.playstation.net.*=0.0.0.0
*.psndl.net=0.0.0.0
playstation.net=0.0.0.0
psndl.net=0.0.0.0
# *.example.com=192.168.0.10
# exact.host.local=10.0.0.42

[exceptions]
feature.api.playstation.com
*.stun.playstation.net
stun.*.playstation.net
ena.net.playstation.net
post.net.playstation.net
gst.prod.dl.playstation.net
# auth.api.playstation.net
# *.allowed.playstation.net

They released an update yesterday: https://github.com/premohq/PS5-ECAM/releases/tag/v5.1.0
Looking foreward into playing Switch games as well. I'm running Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS and Wii U games via this. Still use ProsperoEden for the Switch games.

I'm having a problem with the YouTube jailbreak. So I watched the modded warfare video a few days ago so I can move to the YouTube jailbreak, downloaded the update for 12.60+ and replaced download0.dat. I have 2 YouTubes on my system now.

Rebooted the console and opening YouTube. It glitches between the exploit foir a split second, then it just opens normal YouTube. And it does everytime when I try to open it. So I'm still stuck on this unstable webkit

My PS5 is on 13.00, I decided to stay on that since I had success and it's in rest mode now. But if a crash occurs, I'd like to use YouTube jailbreak from now on, which isn't possible for me since I don't know what went wrong.

I have another question though. By setting IP to 127.0.0.1 as seen for the YouTube jailbreak, can I still use Prospero Store and RetroAchievements hardcore mode for emulation? Otherwise this is also a no go.

Thanks.
