I hope I'm wrong, but I've been hearing about ps5 fpkgs "soon" since a year ago, when ze coxao tweeted that he was releasing fpkg games.

dpkg and fpkg are two different things... dpkg is a debug package and works on testkit/devkit only... fpkg should work on normal consoles too.

It's also normal that developers promise something and then nothing comes of it. It's also normal that they collect money from people for a testkit so they can have development, after a few months they sell the testkit (they keep the money) and then after some time they collect money again for a testkit/devkit so it can be development...and then it goes on and on again

NO stay on 6.50. Flow said it would be supported for Linux. I was just pointing out it had less options then the lower firmware.

ok, I'll stay on 6.50. FW 6.xx brings native 1440p support, and 6.xx is also the last FW where it's not necessary to use dma writes. Of course it's good not to have to use backports, but we'll see how it goes in future... Worst case scenario, I can update later. Some alleged HV to 1-7.xx is supposedly on the table, but that's maybe fake info.

This has been something quite long in the making for now, there's more reference to that than that ( all ever since A53/MP4 was compromised and dumped, or even before that, more than a year now ). Zecoxao has been in contact with the devs and maybe even helped directly or indirectly, so he probably said that when some advancement happened and, yeah, as excited as we all are, I don't see anything wrong with that and I wouldn't blame him. There has probably been "a few" difficulties to overcome and they have decided to work on it before some of those difficulties have been taken care of... it may even be the case some of the issues could put the PS5 at risk ( probably fixable by factory resets or database rebuilding and such, but still a potential fuckup of losing save games and so on ).

https://github.com/cragson/a53-code-exec

EDIT: It may as well be that, having compromised A53 and having dumps of the fw part running in A53 until a given PS5 fw version, they were looking for a way to have future A53 access ( on future PS5 fw versions ), otherwise they could be bringing us FPKG support that would only support FPKGs up until some PS5 fw version. I don't know, it just seems very plausible to me...

Bugfixes

ps5debug-NG v1.2.7

Fixed a critical bug - console crash (KP) when rescanning with "between".

Notes

No other changes from v1.2.6 revision1 (which added the FW 8.40+ poke/breakpoint fix).

For me what's important is the speed of loading games and to make sure there is no stuttering in game play. Black Myth is shocking for in game stuttering transitions.. I would rather keep a large game dump than have a compressed one with long loading times and the afore mentioned stuttering...

I think he got it wrong. DPKG only work on devkit/testkit.

The new announce is by someone else, Jordy, who is trust worthy and was responsible in part for the recent HV releases.

I have not converted Wukong (yet). The Deluxe edition is around 170GB.

I have tested 7 .ffpfsc games now and they are working the same as my .exfat games. No extra loading times, no freezes and / or stutters. The average framerate - measured via PHU - is around 50~60fps. It might on the game itself and what you are loading it with.

I will convert more today and test them to see if I notice any differences.

Hey, are you the author of that tool ? I am quite a bit into debuggers myself and have an ongoing project ( ) for a modern day SoftICE-like debugger ( for UEFI and Windows for now, you debug the machine using the display and keyboard+mouse on the same machine itself, you freeze and enter de debugger via a key combo or when a breakpoint occurs and so on ) and I have been thinking on the possibility of reusing some of my code for PS5... maybe... btw, I also use Zydis on my debugger. I have been thinking on maybe starting with an "all time running" module, not necessarily a debugger, but a tool that would have a raw display UI and you would be able to view&edit stuff on the fly on the PS5 itself ( either via a keyboard or the controller... ).

No I am not. I'm mainly a tester not a dev. I've talked to Pharaoh2k in this case.

Well if you want to kickstart something or do a collaboration you can always check the authors that created that debug tool.
The credits are always displayed on the Github page.

Hi guys,
maybe someone can help me with my problem.
My PS5 pro with drive works like a charm on fw 12.0 with BDUB Disc. I shutdown the console yesterday and when i start some minutes ago, i get this error message.

I have already tried to clear the cache, rebuild database and reinstall same 12.0 official firmware. Error occurs again.

If i reset my console, the pairing of my drive and console will lose, right? I can still select all points in the safe mode.

Any hint here?

Thanks in advance
Chris

I've been seeing reports for a while now of people having to factory reset their Slim and Pro PS5s, and honestly I've been worried about ending up in the same situation with my Slim on 11.40. Mine is factory-paired (which is supposedly less prone to losing BD drive pairing), but after jailbreaking it I backed up pairing keys and decided not to jailbreak it again until there's a way to restore pairing, especially since I already have other jailbroken PS5s.

In your case, I think you have two equally valid options:

1. Factory reset your Pro and keep it digital on 12.00

Pros:

A public jailbreak is already available (P2JB + Y2JB), even though it takes ~50 min. No need to wait for a new jailbreak.
You keep access to the YouTube (Y2JB) and Netflix-n-hack userland exploits when restoring backups.
If a less restrictive kernel exploit gets released in a couple of months, it'll likely be compatible with Y2JB.
Peace of mind knowing you won't have to worry about losing BD pairing again.

Cons:

Your PS5 Pro loses access to the disc drive, potentially forever.

2. Factory reset and update to 13.20 to pair the disc drive again

Pros:

You get access to your disc drive back.
If the rumors are true and you do it before a new firmware is released you'll already be on a firmware that's compatible with the currently private kernel exploit and the WIP Webkit exploit if and when they become public.

Cons:

You essentially lose access to the YouTube and Netflix userland exploits (up to fw 12.40 without licenses).
You won't be able to jailbreak your PS5 Pro until a new exploit chain is released for 13.20.
You're relying on those private exploits being viable and eventually getting released.
There's always a chance you could lose disc drive pairing again if something similar happens in the future.

Edit:
I've read it all now, you don't have the option to create a new profile and you only have the options in the menu that you tried... as the person above wrote, you have advantages and disadvantages here, but I think it's good to be on 12.00 because you can always install Y2JB in any case... after webkit appears, you can turn on poop on 12.00(fast exploit, so no need bdj) I would stay on 12.00.

on the other hand ps5 fw13 has some improvements for ps5 pro and in the future they might wake up new improvementsw... you will wait a long time but you will definitely get the kernel exploit for 13.20 and you will also have a paired bd. you can even install swrr which has JIT

What did you do to get into this state?

stay at 12.00 and use as a digital ps5 pro

Then buy another PS5 Pro without a drive, put the old drive in the new console and update + paire drive. It's easy

about this: https://github.com/Rufidj/Nativehbl

I was messing around and the information is not clear.
For example, how to run again the UI?

The idea of that payload is very good, but other than the required information, it needs more things to do.

About other solutions around, like Elf arsenal and similar stuff. For me all that is horrible. I don't want to have EVERYTHING running in the background.

Blade_run · Jun 3, 2026

Ive got many Elf in data id likes to clean to bring PS5 without kp or restart could can delete all folder and file Inside data.

Autoloader: P2JB v2.6 (Obsession with version number)

Pre-release

Unnecessary Update:
I was gonna explain why it's unnecessary. But I guess you guys who ask for p2jb v2.6 wouldn't read anyway. So here's what the original owner of p2jb.js said.

And for those who read this, I suggest to choose last release. Because there's no useless functions for compatibilities in it. You might get worse experience with this release version for p2jb v2.6.

But in the end, choose the stable one for you. If it's already stable for what you have been using, no need to switch to another. It's not worth wasting 50 minutes for unknown results.

Changelog:
P2JB.js upgraded to v2.6.

(Warning: restoring a backup would purge all user data.)

Did you convert first to ffpfs and THEN compress or did you go straight to compression from exfat?

Fpkg installing with debug menu to internal / m2 or usb, right?

I hope fpkg won't be a joke like CFW on PS4... which then turned out to be mira

I heard before that fpkg would come later with PS6, so why did they decide to rush it? I think there are a lot of games on the scene and trophies are also working now.
