Late update but there's sooooo much to go over.

Appreciated as always. I'm currently behind on ps5 scene by almost 2 months. So these breakdowns really help me keep my finger on the pulse. It's ok though as until YTJB is chained with Lapse I can focus on other stuff.

Just curious. At the moment, you require a Kernel exploit + entry vector (Userland) to get a JB. Are things like Lapse only a partial kernel exploit?

What does a full kernel escalation look like in a nutshell? Does PS4 have this or also requires Userland entry points like LUA or WebKit?

Thanks again bud for taking the time to do these write ups. Looks like you will be very busy with lead up to Xmas

The PPPwn exploit on the PS4 was (as far as I am aware) the only Kernel exploit that didn't require a userland exploit to start the exploitation chain. While it IS possible most Kernal exploits require a userland kickoff.

EDIT: corrected which exploit I meant. Whoops

Doesn't it rely on IPv6? Or is the IPv6 exploit something else?

Corrected post. Thanks for letting me know I made a mistake.

Anyone bothering getting these games Arcade Spirits games as a potential exploit route? They are available circa £12 and £14 for the PS5 and PS4 respevtively at the moment...With the potential of Y2JB and BD-JB for higher firmwares (once userland and kernal are chained) is there any point to these games?

Future kernel exploits might benefit from the fact that the vulnerabilities those games (including the LUA ones) abuse have not been patched so far. The PS5 hasn't reached EOL yet. It will probably have a good two more years until the PS6 hits the scene and then a few more in which games release for both consoles. So there is at least a need for a new kernel exploit every now and then if you don't want to be stuck with a limited (I mean more than it is already) selection of games to play at some point.

I bought them. AFAICT y2jb requires an initial exploit to install it.

Whether there is any point, depends on predicting the future and I'm not good at that.

I studied the versions and found out that the version that Gezine shared does not have a "PEGI12 rating" but a "T rating" which is quite funny that he was wrong

The question is, did he put the wrong link or the wrong rating. Or does it not matter (presumably if it's a python exploit then they are all similarly exploitable)

If you don't care about your account/content, you can use a backup, which comes with everything preinstalled.

Only if you want to keep your Account or currently installed content, you'll need another exploit to install Y2JB.

I'm not sure because I haven't tried it, but if a second profile is created and the backup is restored in the second profile, it might not affect the data on profile 1 and the JB application will also get to the PS5.

I bought them both, after avoiding buying a LUA game for ridiculous money.

If I keep them sealed, then in 30 years they might be collectors items.

maybe it will be usable in the next generation of consoles and therefore it may have more value than bitcoin in the future

... That's why it's good to invest time in game exploits for developers

I don't think it makes any difference and I believe he was busy with Y2JB now and that's why he sent a link.. I think all disc versions are PEGI12

A system restore WIPES ALL profiles and erases the internal storage.

Adam512 · Nov 4, 2025

I thought you weren't talking about system restore(recovery pup) but about profile restore needed for people who don't have bdj and need jb... ...but maybe profile restore will restore everything(i dont test it), but that wouldn't make much sense if it also deleted other profiles

Restoring a system backup WIPES ALL user content and ALL accounts on the target PS5. There is no "Profile Restore". It's ALL or NOTHING,

xalfie · Nov 4, 2025

^precisely the system recover that will wipe all is the less desire method. What we want is to dump actual content and share with the ppl. Remember guys the kind of abusing from the companies that we are suffering in the last years. We have to properly pay them for such abusing, so, THE MOST IMPORTANT HERE IS THE CONTENT to get dumped, not any other kind of considerations....

This is the point i was trying to make.... the US versions are different rated to the EU versions..... Hopefully it's just a naming thing and not an actual physical code level difference....

PEGI is a ratings body in Europe, and being rated differently on the box is just the ratings body for each region giving their rating.

Nothing related to code, just product labeling.

"All or Nothing". That's pretty much how I live my life. Been using system backups since Master_s9 started doing his thing.
Might change that up once things calm down a bit in the scene and apps like Apollo save tool get released for ps5, etc...

Adam512 · Nov 4, 2025

is there a big difference between these two bdre packages? Will both work on PS5 bdj? There is some SERL on one package. Does anyone have experience?

I think you can click on the image to see it in full size.

ccfman2004 · Nov 4, 2025

They should both work just fine. According to Verbatim, SERL is a special recording layer present on Verbatim’s CDRW, DVD/ RW and BD-RE media that ensures noise free recording time and time again. For the BD-J exploit it shouldn't matter which now you get,

Do you need to have activated on PSN to restore a backup?
And does it require you to re activate the bluray drive on slim/pro?
