All this progress should not be made public until GTA RELEASE...

Nothing is public tho

It’s the same usual “hey I’m gezine look what I have and am reporting to sony”

And everyone is blowing it out of proportion

You know the hype will always be present.

Sorry in advance, if someone has asked this before. But why are people posting updates on homebrew tools on a thread called "PS5 exploits" instead of creating its own dedicated thread?
There's too much noise here to follow discussions and news regarding the actual topic.

The mods make the rules. @KiiWii manages it. This has been asked many times before.

We are not going to make a single thread about any homebrew application that is out there. There are many developers that share their work here in this thread. This is the thread of all threads PS5-related and called “PS5 Exploit Guide” because it is intended to be a central reference for the PlayStation 5 jailbreak and homebrew scene. It is not just a guide to one specific exploit and / or homebrew. It combines information about firmware compatibility, exploit entry points, kernel and hypervisor vulnerabilities, homebrew tools, game backups, and troubleshooting etc. etc.

Nobody cares... You've clearly mastered the tone of authority without the inconvenience of depth. I admire your courage to speak in the absence of knowledge. Now try to keep it relevant and post something PS5-related for this community next time.

I imagine it's because it helps keep the forum tidier, even though this is an exploit guide it's always been a thread where people share new developments and ask for support and get supported.

Whilst I appreciate this is your first post on this thread, some 1,228 pages in, you probably weren't aware of the goings on... nice to have you here btw

I see you also answered the question. Good. Should be clear now for all..
General improvements regarding the forum can be discussed with @shaunj66 (Our administrator) and / or @KiiWii and other moderators like @Lostbhoy that manages these parts.

Does it make a difference, though? Making it public as well as reporting it to Sony would give them the opportunity to patch it before GTA VI releases.

Web file manager got another update. https://github.com/owendswang/ps5-web-file-manager/releases

Yeah I think there are some rules involved. If it's reported to Sony and / or via Hackerone. The usual way is that they agree not to make it public before it's patched. Or do you mean something else?

EDIT:

PS5_RetroArch-v4.0.0-beta-4

It exists so you can play the games you own on the console you own.

In this release

Keep your backups on your PC and play them on the PS5 without copying them over. RetroArch's file browser, Load Content included, has a new SMB entry after INTERNAL and EXTERNAL.

Share a folder on your PC (Windows file sharing, or Samba on Linux and macOS).
Open SMB in the WebUI and enter your PC's name or address under Server, with your user name and password (leave the user name empty to sign in as a guest).
Choose Test connection, then the Share and the Folder that holds your games, and Save.
In RetroArch, open Load Content → SMB and start a game.

Most cores read the game straight from the share. A core that opens files by itself gets a copy on the console first, removed when the game closes.
Your password stays on your PS5. The WebUI never shows it back to you, and it is sent only to your PC.
Read-only. Nothing on your share is changed.

SMB support is inspired by itsPLK's PS5 Package Manager and uses the same libsmb2 revision.

The frames made in between now match the real ones. The GameCube core reported a smaller picture than it hands over, so every generated frame was a zoomed part of the real one. On screen the two alternated, which looked like a doubled image.
A game below full speed shows its real frames again. When a core fell behind, Frame Generation could show only frames made in between, never the game's own.
Checked on every core. Each core ran with Frame Generation on while every picture sent to the display was recorded and compared, generated with real. The results are below.

A rename reaches every list. A name you edit in the WebUI's Games page now shows in RetroArch's playlists (XMB and RGUI) and in EmulationStation, every time you change it.
Delete game. The Files tab of a game in the WebUI deletes it from your PS5: the file, the track files its disc names, and its place in RetroArch and EmulationStation. Your saves and savestates are kept. When two copies share a name, the box art and details stay with the copy you keep.
RetroAchievements shows you as signed in. After you sign in, RetroArch keeps a sign-in token instead of your password; the WebUI now shows it as saved instead of "Not set".

GameCube texture packs work. Dolphin's custom texture cache had no memory on the PS5; it now has 512 MiB. Turn on Load Custom Textures in the Dolphin core options.
PSP: changing Internal Resolution in the Quick Menu no longer closes RetroArch.
The WebUI's Update button works. Every release now carries the checksum file the updater checks; v3.0.0-beta-3 has it too.

It's not a bad point tbh about keep focus on "guide" aspect of this thread. I do like the "tagging" system in other sites like Reddit where you can focus on a particular subject.

On the other hand, I don't think I explored other parts of gbatemps in weeks as almost all info on ps5 scene is contained in this single thread. Handy In some ways for lazy people like me. Pros and cons I suppose...

Has anybody received one of the latest batches from ps5 pro? Is 14.00 shipping fw already out?

ThePSGuy · 2026-10-20T09:43:09+0100

Does anyone know if we can just disable the ShadowMountPlus library scan notification? I have heard of quiet mode in the config file but don't know if it also disables the important debug notifications like crashes, backports applied or external drives mounted.

From what I know is that SM+ has a quiet_mode configuration option and it is designed to suppress normal informational pop-ups. This is set in the .ini (quiet_mode=1) The.ini file is located here: /data/shadowmount/config.ini

However it does not necessarily disable every library-scan notification. You can check if this is something you desire:

Code:

quiet_mode=1
debug=0

quiet_mode=1 reduces informational pop-ups.
debug=0 disables debug logging to the console and /data/shadowmount/debug.log. It does not disable notifications.

Save the .ini file and restart SM+ (if needed), or reboot the console if necessary. Normally when I edit the .ini file it gives a notification. Like I did for the fakelibs.

I see, that means there is no actual way to do that right? The "debug" commandline doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for as I just want to disable the library scanned notification that appears at each SDMP's run without touching the debug style notifications (the ones that appears in the top left).

Indeed. In the docs I see no seperate function as of right now to only disable the library scanned notification pop-up.
quiet_mode is the closest you can get.

However why not report an [enhancement] via https://github.com/drakmor/ShadowMountPlus/issues so that Drakmor can take a look at your request. I posted a zillion UX improvements this way.

Hello everyone. I reiterate my request:

Hello everyone. I'm on 12.20 jailbroken via Relapse.

I would like to change my background theme but it's impossible because I am apparently offline.
Do you have any ideas? Like a homebrew application that could change the background, or even the entire theme?

Also, how do you remove the categories you see in the picture that require you to be logged into PSN?

I also have a wishlist (that I made before jailbreaking) and I can't remove the games...

I'm open to any homebrew that can customize my console.

A big thank you to those who will help me

Here in the UK Sony direct it seems have no Pro's for purchase as of this morning.. Having said that i dread to think what their prices may be. the prices on Auction sites have gone through the roof. I expect it's due to the jb status that's now achievable and suddenly everyone wants a pro console...

Even standard consoles are reaching insane prices. Sold my spare base model for a profit of around 50% compared to when I bought it two years ago.

If I wasn't going to cling to the Pro for the rest of the PS5's lifecycle, this would be the moment I'd sell it.

shaunj66 · 2026-10-20T11:29:52+0100

I begrudgingly paid £650 for a PS5 Pro a few months ago and now I'm thinking that decision may not have been so bad after all.
