... and all that noise for a console where the 95% of the games are pure junk. To see to believe it.

That's your opinion and is not really relevant at all to what people in this thread are trying to accomplish. I have a gaming PC so there's very few games I want on PS5, but not everyone does.

I was told no about Okage being used for it. Making it another game causing money down the drain.

At this point buying the exploited discs and download games we could save money just upgrading and buying the three decent games that were made 2+ years ago.

damn, what a shame!

I two ps5 one for buying games and the other one for fun lol I got it for free in 2024 from my phone carrier for monthly payments for 2 years anyway I don’t know why I didn’t buy astro bot it is very good lol

All your other game backups are working fine?

Edit: If they are, there may be something wrong with your Dead Space backup files. I would download it again and try decrypting it with another HDD/SSD before anything else

OK.
i've downloaded both games again. On SSD. Extracted them on SSD. Copied them directly to USB Stick (SSK, USB 3.2, 1TB, USB-A & USB-C, very fast, 1000 MB/s).
tried it, but nothing worked. Same errors.

Now later. i created everything again.
USB stick formated. Copied Game folders into the root of the USB stick.
i have uninstalled itemzflow. Delete all data for Dead Space.

Setting:
FW 6.50
YTJB Auto Loader, etaHEN 2.5B
itemzflow Game Manager 1.14
Sabrent USB 3.2 Hub
SSK USB Stick

i also have a Samsung NVMe EVO Plus, 1TB, PCIe 3.0. but i need that at the moment for my system. But would be perfect for the games. I also have a Sabrent NVMe USB-C 3.2 m2 SATA Adapter Case (10 GBps) that i could use with it.

I did not deleted the data for The Callisto Protocoll. Cause i own the original game for this. i played it in the past, and have a save game from the original game. Well, this game always crashed (without exploit) on the same time in game. and because i've waited for the jailbreak, i didnt updated anything. So i could not play the game anymore. Now i have the backup (same game - > PPSA03352).

then i installed itemzflow 1.14 again. scaned for games. And after that i got the message that the database is corrupted, and it will be generated again now. i got this message everytime i tried something. i did not received that message in the past.

after that it showed me Dead Sapce in the itemzflow game list. Launched it, and it worked normally, i think. i heard all audios, and i could move everywhere, received the items, opened the doors... for around 15 minutes now, it works.

i will test Callisto Protocol later.

but this database error are not normal. Why does they now appears all the time?

Itemzflow 1.14 is bugged.
Waiting for 1.15.
In the meantime use 1.13

Have you tried deleting the folder of etahen on PS5 data folder, maybe using FTP? You may have leftover files.

Also, itemzflow 1.14 is working pretty well for me

is there any new about the new keys of ps5 ? I didnt see anithing here

BobaFett_UK · Jan 3, 2026

Echo's new beta dump runner is very good! You can launch a game from an icon on the homescreen and best of all after a reboot you don't even need to restart the homebrew launcher. Just as long as you send the kstuff it will work! Anyway as i said to him it's 1.20am and i can't test anymore for today

Let's see what comes tomorrow

I always come here first when I see that type of news, but info about the key leak is unusually quiet. Is the rumor fake?

It's not fake, it's just not relevant for the end user

When/if something big comes out of it, our grandsons will enjoy it

I'm on 10.01 running y2jb with etahen 2.5b and itemzflow 1.14. I used the backup restore method about a week ago to jb for the first time. I put a few games on my external m.2 and scanned with itemzflow, everything was going good. Then, I decided to put more game on my drive and that's when I scanned and started experiencing problems with itemzflow. No games will launch and I get corrupted database, rebuilding every time I try to launch a game. I tried deleting the itemzflow folder on USB and reinstalling to earlier itemzflow 1.13. Same thing still happening. How do I fix it?

Edit: ok, I got games running again by deleting Ps5_Apps.db in the itemzflow folder. But how do I prevent that from happening again?

I was suddenly getting a similar issue as yourself... Started last night after i was testing dump runner....if you have used scan with itemzflow 1.14, it has created a folder in user/app, and you can see it by ftp or by settings/storage/internal. deleting itemzfow is not enough

Ensure item00001 folder is also deleted

^how is that to run games without etaHEN ?

Dump runner actually works incredibly well... no need to use itemzflow or etaHEN anymore... still in beta testing stages just fyi..

So much is happening in the scene... other devs have created a fork of websrv to make life easier for us simple folks

New entrypoint game, a battle royal game, but not for digital users.

Seem to recall there was some kind of trick with DNS settings to access PSN on FW as low as 11.60. Which of course means you could just simply purchase the game off the store. Wonder what has become of it...

BobaFett_UK · Jan 3, 2026

For those who have a large stash.. this will make like a tad easier

I use y2jb autoloader.txt to load the websrv-ps5.elf and the kstuff elf.
the homebrew loader works ok.
No Need to sent payloads to ps5.

It seems PS5 has leaked BootRom Keys, these are great news, for a full jailbroken console, for emulation, other operating system, and custom firmware
