PS5 Exploit Guide

From a manufacturing standpoint, it makes a lot of sense to have a detachable disc drive for Sony. They only have to design and manufacture one model rather than 2. Not having to make 2 different cases is a serious cost savings as industrial injection molds are not cheap to make. It also lets the customer decide if and when they want the disc drive and should the drive fail, the user just has to send the drive in for replacement and can still play digital content.. If it wasn't for the online pairing requirement it would be a win for all. I am 99% sure the only reason for the online requirement is to force the user to update to stop jailbreaking.

Nintendo is doing something rather devious with the switch 2. Some of their retail games will come with a key card that forces you to DL rest of the game online. Might not be an Always online system but close enough. This will force most users to stay at latest fw.

Physical disc market for Sony is just big enough (30% global approx) to justify an add-on disc drive for a future PS6. But who knows what other requirements will be in place come 2028 to keep updates current ...

There are a few Switch games that required a day 1 game update that contained the rest of the game as it wasn't on the game cart. Spyro Re-Ignited Trilogy and Starlink Battle for Atlas are two that know of as I have them but at least you can transfer the update to other systems without being online.

Hopefully the game will make it absolutely clear that the game requires a download.

OFW 11.20 is out, DO NOT UPDATE.

If you update to this and post here “ETA WEN 11.20” you’re officially retarded.

I'm not the crazy

I wonder if Sony will make all fat PS5s digital versions in a future update...

For example, a person updates to sw version 20.00, then for some reason they have to do a recovery and after the recovery they will not have a paired unit on the PS5 fat model. Do you think it is theoretically possible?

--------
I'm so sad that there aren't newer build strings from the PS5 firmware... they're only up to 7.61 but nothing new

---------

I would like to buy Lua game but it's not very easy in Europe

I bought it easily from usa and japan on ebay. What are you talking
If somebody needs a lua game or a burnt bluray in europe. Write me

They still have to produce two moulds and now if you want a disk model you have the digital plate at home for no reason. More waste

aio_double_free_syscall_test.lua parece no funcionar en PS5 10.60 https://t.co/GjXbUvUicu

Double free appears to only work up to version 10.00. Some tests on 10.20 failed.

I think sony are doubling down with the removable drive and online connection required thing. I doubt we will ever see a built in drive again.

I too cannot get a deal on a Lua game, but I'm patient, I'll wait for a webkit exploit if I ever use my hackable PS5

yes Sony is bad, very very bad... we don't even want a game on blue Ray that is only 1MB and for the game to work you need to download a 100-200GB update (This is how Microsoft does it and maybe Sony too).

is it definitely confirmed that it works on 10.00? maybe some demonstration-video from privacy

even 10.00 is a success, maybe the developers just need to improve something so that it works on 10.40/10.60

(same as with kstuff, we were also waiting for 7.xx) ... and there's also the second kernel exploit

-------------
they are not even sure, there is also a test that it does not work even on 5.10 ... maybe just bad addresses or other things

-------

This is why we want a game on Blu-ray and without internet(second video):

madbrainx · Apr 24, 2025

It's still unclear, as only a few people have reported their test results. But someone reported success on 10.00.

I know. Maybe it's just not 100% exploit. I would recommend trying again on 10.20 / 10.40 / 10.60 like this:
restartConsole - test1Exploit - restartConsole - test2Exploit - restartConsole - test3Exploit ........ restartConsole - test100Exploit

After 100 tests maybe some exploit will be successful. restart console is the most important step before each new test.

Same news:

madbrainx · Apr 25, 2025

The test seems to be doing it already. It keeps trying to force a kernel panic in a loop. On fws <=10.00 it’s achieved in a few tries.

In this screenshot you can see it tried 99 times without success

yes x times but without restarting console. Maybe it's unnecessary but I would still recommend a few new tests with restart console it's not such a problem to do a few more tests (certainty is certainty)

btw between FW 10.00 and 10.20 there is one more public FW... it's FW 10.01, would it be possible to test on 10.01 please?? ...

PS5 10.00:
BuildDate:2024_0903
ReleaseDate:September 12th
Equivalent PS4 SDK:maybe 11.52 or 12.00

PS5 10.01:
BuildDate:2024_0918
ReleaseDate:September 21th
Equivalent PS4 SDK:maybe 11.52 or 12.00

PS4 12.00:
BuildDate:dontKnow
ReleaseDate:September 12th

If there was a new kernel exploit then there is a big chance that a demo of the lua game would be found, demos do not contain a license something like astro playroom I think. Theoretically then the demo could be backported to a lower version of FW.

madbrainx · Apr 25, 2025

They’re already trying to see if there’s anything they can do to get it working on fws >10.20. Someone just reported it working on 10.01 too btw.

Was thinking keeping one lower firmware without drive would be a good idea, seems not. >_<

Guess it wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

Hello guys, how are u ?

Actually I have a PS5 digital on 9.00, but my brother have a PS5 digital on 11.00, i want to try lua exploit, so I have many questions :
if I bought a game built with Artemis engine on my brother's PS5 with my account, can I copy the game on hard disk and copy to my PS5 ? (I think it's not possible). Or is it possible to transfert save file from PS5 to PS5 to try to run the exploit ?
Do i absolutely need the game on my PS5 ?

Any game bought on your brother's PS5 with your account would not work on your PS5 without connecting your PS5 to PSN to get activation license.

To transfer a save file from one PS5 to another they must both have the same PSN account as the save you want to transfer. Save files are account specific.

On another note some demos do in fact require a license file unlike Astro's Playroom. I believe the LUA Demo games do require a license file.

You’ll have to wait for a webkit exploit for the 9.40 I guess, because you can’t pair a drive now.

But without a LUA game, a (pro) disk system on correct firmware also needs a webkit exploit as well?

you could wait, but you could buy a Lua game disc.

RKuken · Apr 25, 2025

@KiiWii do you remember PS5 pro launch-day console's firmware? Those who bought and stashed it must be profiting right now, or will soon enough, as it looks like the newest JBs are touching 10 and above

Support for IxSHE Tell (CUSA17112) game has been added to the Remote Lua Loader

Does anyone has the save file for this game? For the lua magic?
