Firmware 12.7 is worth it? I'm curious to know if a pro (naked, no drive been wiped) would be worth picking over a ps5 1st gen fw2.3

2.3X FW is preferable for getting keys. IMHO.

Once you have the keys dumped (once tools are released), you’ll be able to update to a higher firmware and enjoy it all.

… it’s just a waiting game…

PS6 is scheduled to be released this or next year? What the hell is the point of Sony releasing the PS5 Pro for, then. :/

and most likely it will be the end of 2027, but anything can happen...

What kind of question is this why PS5 Pro

Of course the console came out to milk money out of you and others, Sony mainly wants to make money

There are not that many new exclusive games and only a few games have real support for PS5 Pro ... PS5 Pro is not a next gen console but just a smaller add-on for a much higher price... Did you expect anything else? We're talking about Sony here... Sony... Just look at this console generation...

PS6 will be next gen but for a very high price and there will be very few exclusives on it. It is worth buying a new console because of the games that you can count on one hand??... Most games will continue to be released on PS5 or PC

As an argument that PS4 and PS5 games will work is nice, but is that really a reason to buy a new console that will cost around $1,000? Maybe it's a little better price than PC, but on PC you basically often get games "for free" around the release date, you can do other things there, etc. and Sony is also planning some things for PC... Maybe a game launcher for PC?

how long has this been talked about? months? years? and still nothing... The main developer on the scene, theflow, had to ask sony for a simple linux to release it, do you think sony will give permission for keys that will benefit even higher FWs?

Do you think someone will just release it without sony's permission from those developers who are on the scene?

I would like to write that yes, but unfortunately I think the opposite... but that's just my opinion

Davide6 · May 6, 2026

I'm also not thrilled with the state of the game catalog on PS5, it was very weak... New games with better graphics supposedly take longer to develop, programmers also want to be paid better... so as a result games take much longer and are also much more expensive... There are very few games only for PS5 now and I think it will be similar with PS6. I don't believe that GTA 6 will be only for PS6, it will be more likely only for consoles including PS5/Xbox because it has a large user base.

I also agree with the opinion about keys, if someone had any balls they would have released it a long time ago.

Be careful with news from siestpa team. It’s not a “team” it’s one guy who just reposts things blindly and slaps his name on other work. He doesn’t even know how to backup his own games

It’s fine in this instance but normally he just regurgitates information without checking

info PS5 Linux:

and this:

Davide6 · May 6, 2026

yes we need to be careful about the information that is shared because there may be misunderstandings... The post is about how even our big developer didn't release even a simple linux without permission from sony... linux? do you understand? even simple linux had to have permission lol

I will also add that FW 2.3X and below were created and released in 2020 ... now it's 2026

Regarding the PS6/PS5 debate when you look back at how many PS5 exclusives there have been to date it's less than a dozen if that... It is beyond crazy that a console this good (whether it's the OG or the Pro) has very few exclusives. You just have to google PS5 exclusives and you'll more or less see the list. Let's be honest how many titles do you actually play to completion? I hsve only ever completed 2 and that's both the GOW games...

The PS6 is coming, Sony have to release it as the shareholders/market demand and expect it... Will it happen towards the end of 2027? Probably... However, there are still many factors to consider, not just the supply of memory products, but also what the market expects... Will AI be built into the console? What will XBOX do? Will there be enough launch titles that set the PS6 apart from the PS5 and XBOX? I'm sure there are many factors to take into account... Oh the price will play a big part in this too....

Let's wait and see what transpires.... In the meantime let's wait and hope more amazing titles can be released for the PS5 until then (unlikely) but let's hope....

So far I've only finished 1 game on my PS5 and that's the one that comes with the console.

The only other two that I'm playing right now is the Astro Bot and Sackboy A Big Adventure. GOW Ragnarok is the only other one so far that I'll eventually play on it, but other than that I mainly play games on my Switch nowadays. Or PC, mainly because the games I play are so broken that fanmade mods and patches are a must.

I really wish there were more exclusives so that we could have a little more to choose from.

As for XBOX Series, from what I've seen they have no exclusives? Pretty much everything that's on XBOX Series is available on Windows so I'm not really sure what's the point in owning one if not for exclusives or making use of Game Pass or dev mode emulation.

xalfie · May 6, 2026

for me there is no room for ps6. The ps5 has no catalog at all, and the whole generation was pure speculation from sony.
I'm out of this actual way that all is about rising prices, insert DRM, and online shit. No thx, I am done with all that.

And the AI in the videogames is the most unwanted thing. Nothing will be the same as before.

I'm currently trying to figure out if it's better to have the Astro Bot game in a folder or via exfat or the ffpkg format... there are so many options that it's hard to figure out. I read on the internet that if it's in a folder, there's some kind of lag or something like that... and with another new game, it's said that some menus take a long time to load, I don't remember the name of the game but it was a new one. But it's like someone says they have problems, someone says they don't, so it's so hard to figure out

It will definitely have AI in marketing.. I remember how PS5 had 8K on the box for a few years but then they quietly removed it

Maybe PS6 will also have 8K or even 16K from the beginning. Sony's marketing department has always been able to exaggerate things to boost sales

From what I've heard, the PS6 console will definitely have AI, it will serve as the head to convert low resolution to higher .. which will significantly save on game sizes and it will also not be as demanding on performance when it is, for example, from 540p to 1440p or to 4K than natively in 4K .. The result looks interesting where you can hardly tell the difference,, but these things will also be on PC (AMD FSR or NVIDIA DLSS)

If games stopped being made on PC (from all companies in the world) it would definitely help consoles, but I don't think such a scenario will happen.

Noob question buy why can't Y2JB or NFNH get chained with poopsploit?

because the right time has not yet come. but it will be "soon"

poopsploit is currently implemented to work only with some userlands, which unfortunately Y2JB and netflix are not among the candidates. Some say it is technically possible and some say it is not technically possible to work with Y2JB... Anyway, we need to wait until the right time comes.. the time when it will be implemented with Y2JB or when a new kernel exploit for Y2JB/netflix will be released

I have the Astro Bot in ffpkg format installed on my M.2 internal SSD (not to confuse with the built in memory) and the only issue I've run into is that loading into levels is a bit slow, it takes about 20-30 seconds. Not an issue to me but that's the only one I've run into. As for the M.2 drive I'm using, it's the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB with the heatsink. Works like a charm. I'm probably not your average PS5 user that likes to fiddle with everything.

I just set it up and if it works, I stop touching it.

Is shadowmount working with the 3-4.51 HV exploit? Iused dump-runner with kstuff for ps5 games, but i am sure this does not work without kstuff. So how to mount ps5 games with the hv exploit?

I'd like to know this too... I asked a couple of the dev's but crickets unfortuanately

Seems most are more focussed on developing things on newer firmwares, which is understandable but disappointing for those of us who remained on lower firmwares

xalfie · May 6, 2026

Is there a way to get rid of the Y2JB network status message other than to have the console connected?
Some times when clicking on that message drive to problems to exit Youtube App.

Can you be more specific about those userlands? Does it include YARPE?

zebrone · May 6, 2026

Couldn't start a PS5 game with shadowmount. How did peopl start PS5 games with the old HV(Bypervisor)exploit?
