21.02-04.03.00.00-00.00.00.0.1

First BD-J + Kernel access exploit provided by Sleirsgoevy (29/9/22)


Note: There are several USERLAND exploits, a couple of KERNEL exploits, and there is now a public HYPERVISOR exploits available for 1.xx-2.70 to complete the full exploit chain (23/10/24).

Recently Flatz confirmed he has developed his own HV exploit (1.xx-4.51 which is kept private) which was chained from a PS4 save game, and has successfully dumped PlayStation Secure Processor (27/07/23).


As of August 4th 2022: We can now install PS4/PS5 PKG games and updates (and by extension FPKGs) however official PKGs cannot be run unless you legitimately owned them previously digitally and have a licence for them on your current console, or if you own the disc (for update pkgs).

As of October 6th PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.03 OFW thanks to Sliersgoevy FPKG enabler!

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-03-fpkg-enabler-hen.38248/

As of October 21st PS4 FPKG can be played on 4.50 thanks to cheburek3000 porting offsets.

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/4-50-fpkg-enabler-hen.38279/

As of October 25th theflow0 fixes BD-J path traversal and native code execution for 7.61
https://x.com/theflow0/status/1717088032031982066?s=46&t=PIYQV4jmWEyCbVfx3Nx26g

As of November 4th ktuff is fixed for 4.51:

Payload: https://gbatemp.net/download/fpkg-enabler-4-51-hen.38306/

Nov 7th PS5 backups loaded via Itemzflow by Lightningmodz and Echostretch. Fully decrypted dumps require system files bundled into them in order to run without crashing with Libhijacker (no hen required), details here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-exploit-guide.613891/page-109#post-10290677

As of November 30th ps5debug has been released by SiSTR0: https://github.com/GoldHEN/ps5debug
Mirror: https://gbatemp.net/download/ps5debug.38333/

Dec 1st: first PS5 trainer (Dark Souls) is completed ready for the imminent release of REAPER Multi Trainer II by CTN.

Dec 25th: PS5 back up loading via ITEMZFLOW now released: https://pkg-zone.com/details/ITEM00001

As of Jan 2nd 2024 Sleirsgoevy has ported K-Stuff offsets for 3.xx firmwares.

As of Jan 4th 2024 LM had added 3.XX Kstuff to Itemzflow meaning 3.XX-4.51 is now supported for PS4/PS5 backups and dumping.


Oct 8th 2024: BD-JB + Kernel works on 7.61 thanks to user Hammer.
1: Never enable IDU mode.
If you do you will need to enter staff mode by holding L1 + L2 and tapping this combo: circle, cross, square, triangle, right D-Pad. Release L1 + L2 and you can access settings to exit IDU.

2: Try to stay on the lowest FW possible and wait it out for hacks on that firmware.

3: PS5 FPKGs cannot work as a hack for the a53 processor does not publicly exist to enable PS5 content as FPKG/PKG.

4: Installing legit game PKGs you do not own will not work, even if spoofed.

5: If you get stuck in a boot loop at the PS logo, this means the SNVS is corrupted (if hash check fails on boot this causes a “soft brick”).

It’s not “bricked”, just reinstall your current firmware RECOVERY PUP in safe mode!

"First was lance and now was me, i received a cease and desist and DMCA from activision and i will no longer be doing anything"

Never understood how these short sighted companies didn't see the interests In patches and mods as missed opportunities to make more money. I mean you have potentially 100,000s of customers prepared to pay for ultimate editions with 60fps and/or option to add mods on console.

DMCA are pointless. Do nothing to stop filesharing and just drives these projects underground.

The M in DMCA stand for Millennium. Considering we are more than 20 years into it (and 20 years is considered vintage in computer technology), it's high time it be updated to 2025. So much has changed since the start of this millennium.

What has changed that is relevant to copyright?

Promoting a month old video is interesting?

FWIW, nobody has proven Sony wrong

Sony did make a statement a while ago saying that something along the lines that the PS5 wasn't powerful enough or the PS3's architecture was too complicated as the PS3 was considered an extremely difficult system to develop and take advantage of all the horsepower it offered. This was a main reason they switched to x86 as it was far easier to make games for.

Obviously those of us who know better can read between the lines and know Sony actually meant there is no money in it for us to bring PS3 games to the PS5.

Maybe one day when we have full control over the PS5 and can boot into a lightweight Linux distro to run the PS3 emulators.

Then again I'm still waiting for the Switch to run Vita games that was teased a while back.

The compatibility rate of rpcs3 was 69.53% in September 2024.

Presumably Sony was talking about whether it was possible to write an emulator and have it boot any game off bluray and the answer is still currently no.

rpcs3 has been in development for 14 years, and has a 69.53% rate. You don't have to be in the know to realize there is no money in it.

You say that as if Sony had to resort to reverse engineering their own hardware...
