Totally agree. The whole PS5 generation is a complete nonsense. Other than scam, and everything worst that you can imagine.
And I can't understand those 93 millions of ppl that bought this 'empty' console.
Of course, the other consoles of the generation are even worst, other than PURE SHIT. Nintendo, Microshit.... all pure shit and scam !

In comparison the PS4 Rocks at any years in comparison with... everything. The PS5 generation is about remasters, remasters and more remasters. No thx, eventually maybe I am interesting in some REMAKE, but yes, eventually, and not always.

And now they want to release the PS6..... I am out of this nonsense. And even more, they want to kill the physic games, something that is a red line for me. I will never cross that line. I don't buy smoke. Neither unicorns.

Indeed. I loved the time when games were complete on release, no patches, no DLC, nothing whatsoever. All those things make owning physical media kinda pointless. If I remember correctly, The Outer Worlds 2 game which I was looking forward to on PS5 came with installer only or something? Not even playable straight from the disc. I remember seeing Download Code Only physical releases for the Switch and now most of the Switch 2 catalog is game key cards. I'll still buy a game here and there that's fully on disc or cartridge, as long as it's playable at the very least.

Same here. At the moment, only Astro Bot games are the ones I'd like to play on my PS5, haven't looked into other exclusives (if there are any?). I do play some PS4 games as well, of course, provided that I manage to make them work. Otherwise, PS4 Pro is there for that just in case.

One thing that frustrates me about the current PS5 jb exploits is the intermittemnt or constant failures in lapse loading or etaHen loading the toolbox or the system just KP's for no reason and chucks you out.. I think, until we have CFW for the PS5 this will be the case...

If i'm being honest i no longer play any PS4 games on my PS5? Why should i? In fact i've not played a PS4 game for over a year if that other than Hamidashi for the Lua exploit save game and using the apollo tool.. Granted when luacore gets finslly finished i'll spin up my ps4 again... But in the meantime it's gathering dust...Well they are to be precise,,,, As is my phat 6.00!!

And the explanation for the increased size is...

I'll keep using my preciousss folders until some compression is achieved

well you could get some game boost some said astro bot worked better. but could have

zftpd v1.1.0 – Stability Improvements (Console Stack Fix)

This release focuses on stability improvements for console environments, addressing a stack overflow condition identified in the thread execution path.

🛠 Fixes & Improvements

Resolved thread stack overflow on PS4/PS5
- Identified a stack overflow condition (fault address near RSP, guard page hit).
- Increased default thread stack size to 512KB on console platforms.
- Stack size remains 64KB on non-console platforms.
Explicit pthread stack configuration
- Thread stack size is now explicitly set using pthread_attr_setstacksize().
- Applied to:
  - Accept thread
  - Session thread

This significantly improves stability under heavy session load and deep call stacks on Orbis/Prospero environments.

Supported & Tested Platforms

OrbisOS (PlayStation 4): Native execution with full Sandbox Escape (root / access).
macOS: Fully functional.
Linux (Debian): Fully functional.

Roadmap / What's Next

ProsperoOS (PlayStation 5): Still looking for testers. If you can run the payload and provide logs, that would be extremely helpful.
Extended Linux Support: Broader distro compatibility testing.
Windows Support: Planned native compatibility.
Future Bindings: BD-J, Lua, and additional execution surfaces under evaluation.

Full Changelog: v1.0...v1.1

1. So you start Y2JB to start the userland
2. Send lapse payload
3. Send kstuf.elf
4, Send websrv-ps5.elf

So for point's 2,3 & 4 you use natcatgui or command line? If so, you need to have pc connected to do this?

I had the odd occassional game freeze like TLOU2 so it was a question of power off to fix it... TBH more so when i was loading of internal SSD. I have now stopped doing that!!! Also on 9.20 SW Outlaws doesz not work after the opening cut scenes... Need 9.60 and i'm not updating for the sake of one game....

I had anervous twitch when I went from 9.02 to 9.20 lol

Don't even have to be bad, or secret... every corporation is a conspiracy...

A conspiracy is literally a secret group of people who break the law.

If it's not a secret, then it's not a conspiracy. If you don't break the law, then it's not a conspiracy.

If you have wild theories about secret groups of people who break the law, then you are a conspiracy theorist.

if you can prove the conspiracy exists by providing real evidence, then you're not a conspiracy theorist.

No it is not... look up the definition. It literally means two or more people that conspire. To conspire means two or more people make plans...the world economic forum fits that definition just like every corporation does. It does not have to be a secret, and it doesn't have to be criminal.. the federal government was an overt conspiracy to try and circumvent the constitution that calls them traitors. Deny it all you want, it won't change the facts.

There is a reason you think that, because the traitors know you aren't so fucking stupid as to not see their treason if they did it in the open. Corporations don't give a shit, they call it board meetings... are those board meetings public information???
Criminals conspire in secret because they know it's a fucking crime. Scammers conspire in secret because they know it's a fucking crime... tyrants conspire openly because they know most of the coward slaves will bend the knee..

And the term "conspiracy theorist" is a deflection tactic the traitors is when their criminal conspiracies are exposed... notice that adjective there, criminal, because not all conspiracies are criminal activity... but do just keep pushing the propaganda so BRAINLESSLY like you were told.

Now this is interesting... looks like the Force moves in mysterious ways,.. there may well be hope for all those unicorn game buyers

Ofcourse, nothing is guaranteed, but it seems like there could be a workaround to make luacore work with Netcontrol kernel exploit on PS5 8.00 to 12.00

What the difference between the Dump Installer and Dump runner?

I'm still trying to figure that out. That is why I load Shadowmount and play with Itemz Flow. Im probably backwards but It works!

The way I see it, dump installer "installs" (genius

) the game and you can access it through the main screen. Dump runner doesn't install the game and you have to "run" it through the homebrew launcher

Edit: of course it does not install the game, as the game dump is already extracted but PS5 thinks it is and that's what matter

dump2ufs-gui

A powerful, modern Windows GUI for dump2ufs. This application simplifies converting PS5 game dumps into optimized UFS2 filesystem images (.ffpkg) with a focus on ease of use and automated batch processing.

Key Features

Batch Processing: Drag and drop multiple game folders to queue them. The app will process them sequentially while you do other things.
Fully Standalone: UFS2Tool 3.0 is integrated directly into the executable. No separate downloads or manual configuration required on first launch.
Smart Update Checker: Keep your core tool up to date. Check for the latest UFS2Tool releases from GitHub directly within the app and update with one click.
Reversion System: Easily roll back to the stable integrated v3.0 version at any time if a newer update causes issues.
Self-Healing Infrastructure: At every launch, the app performs a health check on its internal components and automatically repairs itself if files are missing or corrupted.
Auto-Detection: Automatically parses game metadata (Title Name, Title ID, Version) to generate optimized labels and filenames.
Optimization: Efficiently calculates the best block sizes to produce the smallest possible .ffpkg images.

Prerequisite: This tool requires extracted (foldered) PS5 game dumps. Compressed archives (.rar, .zip, .7z, etc.) are not supported — please extract your dump first.

Usage

Launch: Run dump2ufs-gui.exe. On the first run, it will automatically initialize its internal tools.
Queue Games: Drag and drop one or more PS5 game folders into the main window.
Configure Output: (Optional) Set your preferred output directory.
Convert: Click the "Convert" button. You can monitor progress and logs in the side panel.
Manage Tools: Use the version display in the bottom-right to check for updates or revert versions.

dump2ufs: Core conversion logic.
SvenGDK: For UFS2Tool, the engine powering the filesystem creation.

quickly testing with a "small" game, mot working

Input directory size: 18.36 GB
Block 65536: Could not parse size (output may indicate an error)

Are games that previously did not run properly from internal storage now working well with FFPKGs?
