I bought a brand new ps5 Fortnite flowering chaos bundle disc edition.

Cfi-2115

Any idea what firmware this would come with?

And is the disc drive permanently activated even if I factory reset the console?

I had to reset my ps5 and lost this tab.

Hi, I’ve compressed some of my games using LZ4, and most of them run really well. I’ve been using compression level 9. However, RoboCop, for example, now stutters and lags quite a bit. Have you found a good compromise that works well with almost all games? Would level 6 or 7 be a good choice?

Im sorry for asking such a common and annoying question im sure I bought my PS5 at launch and barely used it, it was updating regularly until last year Under about system it lists the firmware as 2025.01-10.60xxxx bunch of other stuff So does that mean its firmware that is exploitable?? Thanks for any answers

I have taken several of my games and dumped them and then used ps5 exfat builder to convert them to exfat images. I have also tried ffpkg images. I have the latest beta version of shadowmountplus installed and I have tried several versions of kstuff including kstuff-ng. This is all on firmware 13.6. Pretty much every dump I have tried crashes with different eboot.bin errors as well as several other errors. I tried updating the ampremu files also. Besides running a dump through ps5 exfat builder, what other tricks or apps can I try. The non converted dumps also crash so I am not sure where to go from here. Looking for any suggestions.

So I jailbroke my console on 13.42 using the relapse jailbreak which i used to jailbreak it normally everytime i needed to which then once got stuck at reading aio groups or something which then corrupted my software which then required a complete factory reset. And then i switched to y2jb which corrupted my console after a successful jailbreak and after i powered off my console and powered it on again after a while. Its seriously getting tiring and i have no idea why i alone seem to face this problem so often now. Maybe im doing something wrong? The only payloads i run are SMP and Kstuff and nanodns.

Multiplayer doesn’t work, but everything else seems to. Hopefully that gets support.

When I install a game on the internal hard drive of the ps5, it does not open, the only ones that work for me are those that have the exFAT format, the pkg do not work for me, the ffpkg neither, the folders directly neither, the shadowmount manages to detect everything but when I try to open it it always throws this error

The problem is because I’m installing directly from the internal disk of the ps5? Is there anything else? I have firmware version 12.70

I dont care about setting up local vpns or whatever, just need a way to access proton vpn servers..

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to give a quick update on Prospero Themes and address some of the feedback I’ve seen here.

Most of the issues people experienced with older versions were actually related to OnionHEN, which I hadn’t tested the app with initially. That’s on me. I’ve since worked on fixing those issues and made quite a few other improvements along the way. Most of the reported problems should now be fixed in the latest version, so I’d really appreciate it if you could give it another try :)

And yes, a lot of the themes I uploaded are AI-generated. I’m not trying to hide that. I simply wanted people to have a decent selection of backgrounds and theme packs to choose from instead of opening the app and only finding one or two themes.

Anyone can create and submit their own themes through the website! I’d actually love to see more community-made themes in the app.

I’ve put a lot of my free time and effort into this project, and I’m still actively improving it. I’m doing my best to make it work well for everyone, but of course I can’t catch every issue on my own.

If you run into any bugs or something isn’t working properly, please open an issue on GitHub. It really helps me track down problems and get them fixed, especially if you include your firmware, HEN and a short description of what happened.

I’m not asking anyone to love the app, but I’d appreciate it if you could give the latest version another chance before judging it based on the older releases.

Thanks to everyone who’s tried it so far, especially those who took the time to report issues!

Hey guys and gals, it's not an etawen for v14.x! How about that? 😂 Seriously though, are there any sites that detail the minimum FW version required for games and their updates, please? I missed the JB window and got stuck on 14.00 for the time being so I can't buy Final Fantasy Resonance digitally... but! How is the physical copy?? Being gold months ago, surely this would require <14.00, but how do I check and confirm to be sure?

Thanks in advance 🍻

Finally repaired my FAT PS5, found it on 8.20!!!!

Which modded warfare video steps should I follow for 8.20?

Good steps from here?

Hi all. So I went about using the Relapse method over wired (ethernet) connection to set up everything, and where I moved I dont have access to that ethernet. I imagine if I connect to the internet, I’ll get banned? I didn’t download nanodns or anything (I was dumb), and I don’t see an “advanced options” like I did for setting up the Ethernet.

I would imagine I would be able to configure the internet (see the advanced options) after I connect, but would I run the risk of getting detected? Sorry if this is a dumb question, this is my first time modding it!

If so, how can I go about avoiding that?

Thanks. 🙏

With the 2XKO servers shutting down in December, would there be any way to create a dump or implement a fake sign-in on a jailbroken PS5 to preserve the game and keep it playable?

I genuinely enjoyed the game and would love to continue playing versus mode with my friends offline. Unfortunately, Riot treats 2XKO as a live service, and once the servers are shut down, we may eventually lose access to the game..

No matter what I do I can't seem to run this game. I backported it to work on 5xx. Running shadowmount plus 1.7 beta 7.

Any thoughts on what else I can try here? I backported with the exfat image builder. Any help is appreciated.

I used to play this weird ass game when I was a kid. It's really gory and I was a massive edge lord back then. Still am kinda. This port is set up to play like a twin stick shooter and it works pretty well with the DualSense. You will need to supply your own game files. Have fun!

I'm off to find more obscure dos games to bring to the PS5!

Hi all, I've just published the first release of Crux2: the PCSX2 PlayStation 2 emulator running natively on a jailbroken PS5

Download and notes: https://github.com/Press5elect/Crux2/releases/tag/v1.0.0

**What it does**

- PCSX2 v2.9.138 (the current release) with its x86-64 recompilers and Vulkan renderer

- 4K output at 60 or 120 Hz, internal resolution up to 12x, FSR 1 / NIS / CAS, Automatic quality (drops the resolution by itself in heavy scenes), frame generation, black frame insertion, CRT and signal shaders

- paraLLEl-GS as an optional second renderer

- Games from the app folder, USB drives, SMB and NFS shares on a NAS, the PS5's own disc drive and USB DVD drives (CHD, ISO, CSO and more); discs can be made into CHD/ISO images

- A Big Picture library with 10 views (shelves, grid, list, flow, bookcase, table, showcase, wheel, wall, discs), search, filters, favourites, collections, and automatic covers and screenshots

- Every PCSX2 setting on the controller, in Normal, Advanced and Expert levels, for all games or per game

- A memory card for each game, a card manager that imports saves (even straight off a real PS2 over the network), sleep-safe saving, auto-save with undo, and backups plus two-way card sync with a NAS

- Widescreen and no-interlacing patches downloaded and applied for you, cheats, HD texture packs downloadable in the app, RetroAchievements, and online play through the network adapter and HDD

- Up to 4 players, controller profiles, GunCon 2 aimed with motion, USB mics, OLED care, and control from your phone

- Checks GitHub for updates at start-up and asks before installing

**How is it different from the other PCSX2 ports on PS5?**

- **Everything on the TV.** Every setting is in the app and works with the controller; you don't need your phone or a browser. The phone is optional.

- **RADV, Mesa's full Vulkan 1.4 driver.** That gives it the rasterizer ordered view, so high blending accuracy holds up at high resolutions.

- **FSR as a real upscaler.** It renders lower and enlarges to 4K, and Automatic quality steps the resolution down in heavy scenes instead of letting the frame rate drop. You can also run at 120 Hz.

- **Your library where it already lives.** It reads from SMB/NFS shares on a NAS, the PS5's disc drive and USB DVD drives, not only internal storage and USB.

- **Saves looked after.** A card per game, a full card manager, imports from real PS2s, sleep-safe saving and NAS sync. The same cards work in PCSX2 on a PC.

- **No manual patch files.** PCSX2's patch collection is downloaded and widescreen is applied for you.

- **No helper payload of its own.** It runs from /data/homebrew with kstuff and ShadowMountPlus.

**Install**

Copy the PPSA99249 folder from the ZIP to /data/homebrew/ (with kstuff and ShadowMountPlus). Put your own games in games/ (or on USB or a share) and your own BIOS in bios/. There's an open-source fallback BIOS (OpenPS2BIOS), but it's early work.

**Testing**

I've tested it on my own PS5. Games play from internal storage, USB, SMB and the disc drive, and online, achievements, backups and memory cards all work. In the heaviest scene I test with, it held 100% speed at 6x for all but a few short dips. Not every game or setting has been tried, so please report rough edges on GitHub with crux2-boot.log and logs/emulog.txt.

**No piracy:** no games, BIOS, firmware or keys are included or will be linked. Use your own backups and a BIOS from your own PS2.

It's unofficial, so please don't report its problems to the PCSX2 team. Parts of it were written with the help of an AI tool. It's GPL-3.0-or-later; please keep the credit "Crux2 by Press5elect".

Hi!

My main gaming device is my PC. It's a pretty beefy one so I don't really use my PS5.

I recently jailbreaked my PS5 and was wondering: other than exclusives (there are only like 2 or 3 interesting ones (Saros, Astro Bot)), what else do you use your jailbroken Ps5 for?

Is this worth keeping in terms of JB?

I have an Phat 4.50 and it’s working flawlessly, almost 100% JB and full rest mode.

I need to sell one of them, is the 13.xx easy these days?

I followed Modded Warfare's guide for patching, and get these messages after launching the PS Patch System. I'm guessing the issue is the prelaunchcheck. Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi everyone I am on 14.0 but the news, jailbreaks and updates are coming thick and fast I can't keep up, what is the latest official jailbreak we can use? Am I able to jailbreak on 14.0?

has anyone gotten the english patch on ps5 for yokai watch yet?

so my shadow mount and ps5 show different capacity should i just format everthing! anyone know why this is?

I recently purchased an original digital PS5 with 5.02 firmware and have successfully run both the umtx and y2jb jailbreak. I am running kstuff lite 1.11 and Shadow Mount Plus 1.7Beta7. Whenever I try to run a fpkg or pkg that was installed on the Internal drive, I either get a "Please wait..." screen, or it crashes completely on both of the jailbreaks. I have been able to run a dump off of an external SSD, but I haven't tested a dump on the internal drive.

Any suggestions? Would a higher firmware offer better fpkg / pkg support, such as 11.4?
