It sucks that we can't fiddle with graphics settings. I wonder if performance mode would get it to 60fps?

I'd personally favor performance over quality mode, that's how I play Forza Horizon 4 on my Xbox One X. I don't know how anyone would rather play in 30 when they have the option to play at blazing 60.

Speaking of FH4, that's a game that M$ should port to PS5, but it's too late (licensing and they're already on FH6).

For me... FH4 > FH5, although I want to try FH6 aka Forza Horizon Japan some time later on my PS5 Pro.

Just sharing a native/ sandbox app I have been working on (also, to validate a template I made inspired on the work of SvenGDK and others):

https://github.com/blackbearreloaded/ps5-radio

The template app - the key challenge with it was to be able o build a libc.prx without including proprietary code.

Hope this is useful for anyone interested in building these kind of apps:

An additional note: with the recent support of ShadowMountPlus for FAKE ids (https://github.com/drakmor/ShadowMountPlus/pull/107), when the new version is widely adopted I will change the default build title above to FAKEXXXX.

I randomly found this, you just saved me a weekend project dude

Nice work!

Wolverine is just weeks away and it'll run 60 on all PS5s. Awesome.

Wow, in England the PS5 Slim Digital - Wolverine Edition will be sold for £570 (~ $770). Insane.

It looks really nice, but doesn't include a disc drive nor the game on disc.

I bought a PS5 Pro for way less than that although it was from a used marketplace.

By the way, it comes with a stand, very generous of Sony

Indeed. It's pretty straight forward.

ps5upload v5.12.1

Fixes picking an avatar image on Android.

Choosing a profile picture works on Android again. The avatar picker
used the system file chooser, which hands back a reference the app cannot
actually read — so the image never appeared and you got a "read image"
error instead. It now uses the same in-app file browser every other picker
in the app already used, which is why uploads worked while this did not.
Thanks to the reporter on issue #278.

@KiiWii Something for you?

PSN64

Nintendo 64 emulator running as native x86_64 shellcode on PS5, delivered through the Luac0re JIT exploit.

No kernel exploit required. Runs entirely in userland inside the ps2emu sandbox of Star Wars Racer Revenge.

Supports .z64, .n64 and .v64 ROMs, a software rasteriser for real RDP output, controller-pak and cartridge saves that persist into the savedata container, and analog-stick + C-button mapping from the DualSense.

Sibling project to LuaGB, LuaMD and LuaPSX, which do the same for the Game Boy, Mega Drive and PlayStation and whose PS5 runtime this follows.

Multiple sources expect the game to be bottlenecked by the CPU, not the GPU. Lowering graphics settings won't do shit in that case, since the PS5 Pro CPU is only marginally better than the one in the base PS5. That's not to say that you couldn't get your occasional 60fps with an uncapped framerate (potentially on either model), but in a club with loads of NPCs around you your fps might tank back to 30.

One way to give the PS5 Pro version some kind of 60fps mode would be via frame gen. The world would still be calculated 30 times a second, with fake frames being put in between the real ones.

GTA VI reveal was solely based on base ps5 model. There has not been any definitive statement from Rockstar on what the ps5 pro will be able to achieve.

"According to Rob Nelson, Lead Developer and Co-director at Rockstar North, it is still necessary to consult the technical team to determine if there will be a 60 FPS option at launch (or in the future). He also emphasizes that he does not currently have details on resolution and other technical qualities, such as the use of Ray Tracing, but the performance, for now, is 30 FPS"

I always select "performance mode" to hit 60fps when playing my games on ps5 pro. One of the first things to go is Ray tracing. Even on pc disabling that feature gives significant increase in frame rates.

Ps5 pro has already used frame gen in some games to achieve certain frame rates. So with PSSR2 it's possible.

GTA VI could potentially hit 40-60fps. Just depends whether Rockstar will allow this and what you sacrifice.
Will know more closer to release what is actually possible on PS5 pro but yeah, I have my doubts....

It odd that many games are CPU bottlenecked on consoles. I noticed this with the ps4 pro too, many games barely seemed to be touching the gpu while utlising most of the cpu.

Yet the games still looked bad most of the time, which seemed to be caused just by that fact alone, the gpu couldn't be fully utilised because of the cpu bottleneck. I know it might cost a tiny bit more, but bro just give us a separate CPU and GPU.

If gaming laptops can do it, and with decent prices (before rampocalypse), when you factor in that they are a portable all in one. Then with consoles hitting the £1000 mark most likely in the next generation, why the fuck do they spend so much money on a custom APU, which surely can't be much cheaper can it?

30fps in the great 2026 for me is a disgrace... I might be biased from being mostly PC, but as an FPS gamer you can tell the difference, not to mention the amount of motion blur that is very obvious in the trailer. If they really wanted to provide an option to sacrifice some things and give more fps, they could. I would sacrifice seeing someone's ball hairs in 4k.

On another note, the surge in emulators through Luacore may not be what many people here are waiting for, but I wanna say a big thank you for your hard work whomever it may concern.. some of us do miss some rainy weekends of good old PSX in the living room.

Glad it's helpful to someone else. There's more coming later today:

- Native input research (controller, mouse, keyboard)
- Native video decoding for H264, HEVC, VP9 and HDR for these 2 last ones

I am just polishing my Moonlight client for PS5 and once released, will release all my research notes.

Unless I am misunderstanding native input. Perhaps ghostcontrol could be of some help? At least parts of it https://github.com/StonedModder/Ghostcontrol-PS5-USB-Controller-Patcher

I cant wait to see the moonlight client!

Hopefully PSSR2 improves not only the graphics but fps for gta6.

I would say shitty optimization but another part of me is thinking it’s on purpose because they want to make it look like a movie (which is usually 24fps).

It’s the hospital method.

Basically since AI is using most of the memory and SSD’s, they raise their prices astronomically in order to rip off the AI companies, much like hospitals do with health insurance. But, instead of lowering those costs and having consumers pay the actual price, the customers are forced into paying the inflated prices as well.

It does help indeed. I was just trying to get more details on all those libSceUserService, libScePad, libSceKeyboard, libSceMouse, scePadRead, scePadReadState. I wanted to see how to get the most optimized implementation to reduce as much latency as I could. I will give the credtis to your project too.
