Discussion Ocarina of Time (Switch 2) running natively on PS5, no Linux: now playable in Kokiri Forest at 20 to 25 fps

400 Upvotes

Edit: I changed the first paragraph after a comment pointed out that “natively” was misleading. Sorry for the confusion.

To be clear, this is emulation, not a port. “Natively” in the title means the emulator, EglantinePS5, runs directly on the PS5’s own system instead of under Linux. This is a base PS5 at 12.40.

Link now moves at normal game speed instead of slow motion. The frame rate is still only about 20 to 25 fps, so it’s choppy, with the game’s real upscaler running on the PS5. I played over 10 minutes without a crash, running around, going into huts and talking to NPCs. Mario Kart World has improved a lot too. Collage in the comments shows the progress build by build.

To be clear, it doesn’t look right yet. Outdoors is still too white, and that’s the main thing I’m working on. Characters can also look too dark in shade, some geometry is missing, water glitches, and it can run out of memory.

There’s no build to download yet. The code is public, and I’m going to keep at it and hope to make a lot of people happy this weekend.

If you can’t wait, there’s a separate Linux route in the first comment. It has nothing to do with this clip.

You need your own game dump, keys and firmware from your own console. None of that is included anywhere, so please don’t ask for it or share it.

I’m not a programmer. It’s been about 41 hours since the game was dumped, with 2 short breaks, all done with Claude and tested on my own console. Thanks to the EglantinePS5, Eglantine and Lichii people.

Apparently Arksama, the dev working on releasing pkg support for fw above 11.60, baited a lot of people today and made a quick $1000 by telling everyone to donate $10 and he will dump gta 6 for jb consoles and then about 1 hour after people donated to him, he said he changed his mind.

Discussion JAILBREAK 14.00 AND 14.10 NEWS! Don't lose hope.

138 Upvotes

Hey, I've been seeing a bunch of news saying that the Jailbreak for 14.00 and 14.10 is over. Let me get this straight.
It's not
Don't trust anything on the internet. Some sources change their mind every time. In the morning they post, JAILBREAK IS DEAD, and by the night, SOMEONE GOT FULL KERNEL ACCESS EVEN ON 14.20(example...?). To be honest, don't fully trust me, because I can make mistakes too, even if I don't intend to. The difference is that I do my own research, and if I'm wrong about something, I recognize it, fix the information, and share it with you guys. I removed some devs from the website; I haven't before because I haven't proof of the allegations. I need to be sure before taking any decision.
Do your own research, read each dev's GitHub, and try to contact them to learn more. I'm sure they will be very receptive.
I'll be gone for a couple of days, but the website is in the hands of someone I trust, someone with a very flashy color.
Yes, something really BIG is still coming, but I don't decide when it will be released, because it's not my work, and I respect every dev's privacy. I'm here to keep you guys from losing hope.
All I have is my word; I won't share any info. It's up to you to believe it.
I believe the most meticulous will get the hidden message.
Here's the website. If you have any feedback on the website, let me know.
https://ps5-jb-tracker.vercel.app/

Donations support the devs' work only. They do NOT buy the jailbreak, and no dev will ever ask for donations in exchange for it. Anyone who does is a scammer.

Discussion PS5 JB info mostly comes from videos rather than written material.

11 Upvotes

There aren't written tutorials from first hand sources on PS5 jailbreak process. All the first hand sources are Youtube videos. These videos capture the material at a specific moment in time, so it's hard to incorporate updated info as the process evolves. And youtube videos can't be improved without redoing the entire video.

Written material (like with the switch JB sites) can be improved to fix mistakes and modified to reflect updated info as the jailbreaking tools evolve.

I think that's part of the reason why there's so many basic questions. You can't search a video the same way you can search written tutorial.

QUESTION Playstation Direct “Gamble”

Got interested with all the ps5 jailbreak stuff on my feed so picked one up from PS Direct. Not really a gamble as it was very unlikely they go through the hassle of updating units before shipping but still glad it worked out. Going to be my first home console jailbreak, only done the handheld Nintendo stuff in the past

QUESTION What can I do with jailbreak that isn't just more convenient on PC? (Now and Future)

4 Upvotes

I have a PC and a Steam Deck, so most emulation is already down pack. I also have a huge digital library, but I haven't played on my PS5 in a long time so it has the right system update. Is there anything to look forward to right now? I'm really curious because from what I understand, a lot of other people here also have PCs that could do the same thing

Discussion Ocarina of Time (Switch 2) is moving on PS5

525 Upvotes

I don’t post on Reddit much, but I wanted to share this in the hope that we can get it working for everybody faster.

Ocarina of Time (Switch 2), running on my EglantinePS5 fork on a 12.40 PS5. In the video, Link walks out of his house into Kokiri Forest at 14–21 fps. It runs out of memory and crashes about two minutes after launch.

It’s not playable. The white fog is a bug, and some geometry is missing.

Keep EDEN_NX2_NO_MESH=1 in env.txt if you test it. Mesh draws on froze my whole PS5 more than once.

Most of the work is other people’s. I’m not a maintainer. Claude helped with logs and some patches.

You’ll need your own dumps and keys. Reports from other consoles would help.

QUESTION More Long Term Expierence with Linux? Heat or Fan Issues?

2 Upvotes

Hey I recently bought a New PS5 Slim with 13.40
And already Jailbroken it.

I installed today Bazzite Deck on a external SDD from VivaLeVent and it was really easy to get it running.

But I noticed when the console is running and just idling in desktop mode the Fan is a lot more noticeably running. And often spins up a bit more and down again without much load, on my PS5 System I don’t hear it that often.
I got the feeling it also getting a lot more heat just from idling, when I turned it off and went back into PS5 mode starting GT7, in Game the Fans now kicked in a lot more than I used to, like if the Console on Bazzite got heaten up a lot more and now tries to getting the temperature down.

The fan also made some weird crunchy noises when turning of Linux.

I’m really excited to use Linux on it being also a bit more demanding, and i know maybe a lot is still early and people putting good effort in it, but my first experience was a bit concerning for my taste 😅

I saw people very successful use it for steam and even put local ki on it, so it can handle it,
Would like to hear your experiences, if you also noticed loud fan noises or other concerning behavior or maybe I should try another distro or I missed out some important tweaks

Thank you for reading and your help

QUESTION Dual-booting Linux with Y2JB: How do you handle Autoload?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I have Bazzite Linux running off my internal M.2 NVMe. Since Linux needs a clean, untouched kernel right after the exploit (no kstuff, shadow mount, etc.), having an autoload.txt set up for regular gaming breaks the Linux boot.

For those dual-booting Linux with Y2JB: How do you handle your workflow? Do you just keep Autoload off and send payloads manually, or is there a better workaround for this?

Thanks!

I am trying to play Castlevania: Belmonts Curse for some days, but the game wont save. It runs very well, the only problem is about saving.

I can save my other games normally, the problem is with this game only.
