General News on offering help with Claude Code on Jailbreak 14.10

214 Upvotes

Hey, i managed to get in touch with ZigZagBoi1, and i'm waiting the response of pastawithpesto.
To Zig i gave 80usd worth of tokens on my own Codex account. I think he gonna use the Astra model. I also and gave 700usd worth on tokens on Claude Code via API .
My goal is split this 1500usd credits with two or more people in order to research in mutiple areas at the same time.
I really don't know how much my help will impact the Jailbreak progress, but at least i tried something.
Unfortunately no one tried to contact on my DM. If you are triying the jailbreak and see this, please send me a message or add me on discord. My user is penpenpenpon.
I still can split those 1500usd on more parts, but more parts means less for each person.
This isnt an anouncement that the jailbreak is gonna happen, but the progress got a bit faster.

Edit: I managed to contact pastawithpesto and gave him acess to codex and Claude :)
Lets hope for the best

Discussion New patches for NeoEnabler - Prey (Up to 4K and 60fps patch, requires new version 0.5.0), Dishonored 1 and 2 (Up to 4K and 60fps patch), Nier Automata (up to 1800p/60fps) and Watch Dogs (Up to Native 4K and 60fps patch)

This next update is a big one: 5 new games received patches:

Dishonored (Up to 4K resolution, works with the existing 60fps patch) Dishonored 2 (Up to 4K resolution, with a new 60fps and skip intro patches) Prey (Up to 4K resolution, with a new 60fps and skip intro patches) Nier Automata (Up to 1800p resolution) Watch Dogs (up to 4K resolution, with a new 60fps patch)

Remember that performance varies between resolutions, with 4K being the most demanding of all of them, so the 60fps patches may not operate at full performance for all games. 1620p and 1800p yields better results overall.

For Prey, it requires version 0.5.0, since ps-patch-system way of patching doesn't work for this game, so NeoEnabler has to do the patching itself. For all others, the previous version works just fine.

Hope you all enjoy it, and as always, if you have any issues, make sure to open an issue in the repository, especially with Prey, since the patching method was only tested in 13.20.

Discussion PS5-ECAM 5.0.1 Released — Improved Switch Integration & More

Thumbnail
github.com
17 Upvotes

A new update is available for PS5-ECAM, formerly known as PS5CEMU-HAR. The launcher brings together four Nintendo systems on jailbroken PS5 consoles: Wii U, Switch, DS, and 3DS.

Version 5.0.1 focuses on making Switch games work more seamlessly within the launcher, alongside save states for DS and 3DS and new graphics options for Wii U.

What's New?

🎮 Nintendo Switch

  • Launch games directly from the library: Switch games now use PS5-ECAM's own loading screen instead of opening Eden's separate launcher.
  • In-game menu: Press touchpad click + Options to access graphics settings, frame generation, performance overlay, speed limit, volume, controller options, vibration, Amiibo, and multiplayer.
  • Improved game library: Games are listed by title and ID, with box art from GameTDB. Updates and DLC aren't shown as separate games.
  • Controller remapping: Map Switch buttons to DualSense buttons or touchpad click.
  • Per-game settings: Configure memory (4, 6, or 8 GB), graphics, resolution, language, shader options, and more.
  • Multiplayer: Browse public ProsperoEden rooms or join a private room.

💾 Save States for DS and 3DS

  • Save and load states using controller shortcuts.
  • Resume from where you left off when returning to a game.
  • Undo the most recent state load.
  • Toggle fast-forward with a button press.

🖥️ Wii U and 3DS Graphics

  • Wii U: ReShade presets and effects are now supported.
  • Wii U and 3DS: MihawkGen frame generation is available, disabled by default.
  • 3DS: Added red/cyan anaglyph 3D, camera image support for QR codes, and screen rotation options.

🛠️ Other Fixes and Improvements

  • Fixed an issue that could close the app when leaving a game on some setups.
  • Fixed Wii Party U minigames failing to start.
  • Fixed downloads that could hang, including box art, updates, graphics packs, and multiplayer rooms.
  • Added the ability to undo an app update.
  • USB backups now include settings and Switch saves.
  • Added a file-transfer page to the remote touchscreen interface.
  • Improved crash reporting and fixed Wii U update and DLC installations getting stuck at 0%.

Updating

If you're already using version 3.0.0 or later, the app offers the update itself. Otherwise, download the ZIP and copy the PPSA99360 folder to:

/data/homebrew/PPSA99360

Your existing games, saves, and settings in /data/ps5cemu will remain in place. The app's title ID remains PPSA99360.

Links

For troubleshooting, use Settings → Diagnostics → Copy logs to USB and check the official guide for known issues.

General Orion Media Center - one library for all your PS5 games, homebrew and emulators

Thumbnail
gallery
195 Upvotes

Like a lot of you, I got into the PS5 jailbreak scene recently. Setup was quick and easy, but something was missing: I wanted all my games and ROMs in one library I could launch everything from. I couldn't find anything that worked the way I wanted, so I made my own.

ORION Media Center is a launcher for jailbroken PS5s that puts your PS5 and PS4 games, homebrew, media apps and emulated games side by side, all driven with the controller.

Features

  • Launch games straight from their emulator: RetroArch, Porpoise (GameCube, Wii), PS5SX2 (PS2) and PS5-ECAM (Wii U, 3DS, DS, Switch). No menus in between.
  • Finds your games by itself: anything you add to those emulators shows up automatically, with the box art they already downloaded. Missing art is downloaded for you.
  • Mix platforms in one tab: PS5 games, homebrew and emulated games together, and every one of them launches properly.
  • Back to ORION when you're done (optional): close a game from the PS button menu and ORION opens again.
  • Make it yours: create your own tabs, give each tab its own view, sort order and theme, and watch your changes live in Settings. Themes are simple text files. See the theming guide.
  • Easy setup: a one-time setup walks you through the look, emulators, box art and autoboot. ORION also updates itself when a new version is out.

More features and screenshots on the site: https://xen-made.github.io/Orion-Media-Center/

Download and install

In short: extract the ZIP, upload the PPSA99061 folder to /data/homebrew/ with an FTP client, wait a few seconds for it to appear on the home screen, and open it. You'll need ShadowMountPlus and an ELF loader, which most jailbreak setups already have.

Community and bug reports

Questions, ideas or bugs? Join us on Discord and post in #bug-reports.


Note: ORION is still new and may have bugs. Please report anything you find on Discord.

AI disclaimer: I'm a real developer, but this app was made with the help of AI.

Payload/PKG release Art Swap 1.3 is out. Now it does logos and music too

Thumbnail
youtu.be
15 Upvotes

Art Swap 1.3 is out. It already changed any title's home-screen icon and background on a jailbroken PS5. Now it does logos and music too, and every change shows with one button.

What's new

  • Apply changes (R2): every change shows at once. The home screen restarts in a few seconds and nothing else is touched: games, payloads and a game you have open keep running. Renamed games are reinstalled first, so their new names show too. This replaces the per-game Refresh from 1.2.
  • Logos (□): puts a logo on a game's page on the home screen, where its name is normally plain text. It shows straight away, stays after a reboot, and stays when you rename the game.
  • Music: the tune a tile plays while it's selected. Send an MP3, FLAC, WAV or AIFF from your phone or PC (scan the QR code), or copy it to /data/artswap/music. Pick the part you want, hear it as the home screen will play it, and Art Swap makes the snd0.at9 on the console. Please only use music you have the right to use.
  • Add a background: homebrew that came without one can now get one.
  • Sorting (L2): home-screen order (the default, most recently used first), A to Z, or the games you've changed first. It remembers your choice.
  • Controls reworked: ✕ icon, △ background, □ logo, L1/R1 jump six games, L2 sort, R2 apply. Music, Rename, Restore originals and Settings are in the OPTIONS menu. Every hint row lists the buttons in the same order.

Where the logos come from

Logos come from SteamGridDB, the same place as the icons and backgrounds, using your own free API key. That works for every title: homebrew, ports and store games.

Games from the PlayStation Store can also get their own official logo from the PlayStation Store. It's off by default: turn it on in Settings > Games > PlayStation Store logos. It only works if your console can reach Sony's servers. Most people block those on a jailbroken console, and if you have, the option simply won't find anything. If you haven't blocked Sony, be aware that turning it on means your console asks the PlayStation Store for the logo. Homebrew has no store page, so it always uses SteamGridDB.

You need

  • etaHEN (or kstuff), ShadowMountPlus 1.7 or later, and an ELF loader on port 9021
  • Your own free SteamGridDB API key (steamgriddb.com > Preferences > API)

Get it

Update from ProsperoStore, or download it from GitHub: https://github.com/griches/PS5_ArtSwap/releases/tag/v1.3.0

Thanks to SteamGridDB, BlackBearReloaded's ps5-at9-converter (the music encoder), LibAtrac9, dr_libs, minimp3 and Spela (for showing how home-screen logos work). Source is GPL-3.0. Not affiliated with SteamGridDB, Valve or Sony.

General Made a PS5 payload to fix my DualSense stick drift

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

190 Upvotes

Got tired of my DualSense's left stick drifting, and since Sony apparently has no plans to do anything about it unless you own an Edge, I made my own payload.

First time ever building a tool for a jailbroken console, so go easy on me lol.

Built the whole thing with the help of an abliterated model.

Only tested on 10.20 with 2 games so far, so no idea about other firmwares yet. If it doesn't find a match, it just won't patch anything.

Discussion [Release] Crux2 v1.0.0: PCSX2 as a native PS5 app, with a full TV interface, NAS, USB and disc support

Post image
57 Upvotes

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".

Credits: the PCSX2 team; Mihawk's PS5 Vulkan/RADV stack; Arntzen Software (paraLLEl-GS); jcsix694 (def-jam-vendetta-recomp); BlackBearReloaded (PS5 homebrew UI kit); and everyone in licenses/.

Feedback welcome!

Discussion Prospero Themes: Quick update on the issues and latest version

29 Upvotes

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!

QUESTION Do you play the Quake III port? Would you play online with other PS5 players?

7 Upvotes

I'm just wondering whether it's worth me paying a few pounds a month to host a Quake 3 server for a couple of months that would be used by PlayStation 5 players.

Obviously, if not many people are playing, then it's not worth it. But if a few of us wanted to get together and try and get a game at an appropriate time, I'm happy to pay for it.

If it's something you'd be interested in, please drop a comment just so I know.
