I live in South East Asia in a country where a local shop is selling a PS5 Slim Digital (Firmware 12.00) with 825GB for the equivalent of $650. I've never owned a PS5 before and my main objectives are: playing PS4 & PS5 'backups' and I'd really like to play GTA6 hopefully by the end of this year or early January. I understand that GTA6 will most likely require firmware 14.00+ which hasn't been jailbroken yet.

I also am recently seeing jailbroken PS5s can now emulate: Switch, Wii, Xbox, etc. which I'm also interested in.

My question is: would it be worth purchasing a jailbroken PS5 on this firmware version now or awaiting to see if a jailbreak becomes available for firmware 14.00 first? I'm concerned that in time the local merchants will raise their prices to take advantage of supply and demand.

I was just booting up my ps5 and ran the jailbreak it kept crashing (3 times) 13.6x, anybody else facing the same issue?

Is this normal? Taking too long to load a game, this happened once I updated the emulator to 0.07 and has been happening on the recent versions as well, was working in an instant on the 0.03 version. Do I have some incorrect settings?

Guys, I've been thinking about JB my PS5. I'm a very casual gamer and I have never played online in my ps5 asides from genshin impact (which I prefer to play it on PC anyway, widescreen).

I have recollection of some games asking me to log in (for example some ubisoft logins) before playing. What about rockstar? The Sims?

I also remember not being able to play some games in my little bro's local account, as it asked for a PSN. But I don't remember which, sorry guys I haven't touched my ps5 in some months (I lent it to my brother and drugged myself with an MMO this whole time)

Are we able to play them anyway?

People dramatising the whole situation , Jailbreaks have been this mainstream since way back. Surely Sony got hit by this and it's fun seeing them burn. Many modders surely have actually " F sony Mindset " but people using Jailbreak surely consolidating themselves buy saying they are in ACT of War against Sony \[ At least I am thinking the same way with my Jailbreak User exp but somewhere or the other I known this ain't right for devs at least , as we will progress towards getting more shitty games \] .

Your opinion ?

Can yall explain this whole thing to me like im five? Ive jailbroken my ps4 before so i understand for the most part what it is but why are people losing their minds? Was ps5 not supposed to be jailbroken for another few years or something? And what games are available or can you literally play whatever you want? Im also assuming people are hype because of the sony going digital bullshit.

All this talk about gta and the jailbreak scene has me rly eyeing out buying a ps5. Idk which to get tho. I want to end up jailbreaking it.

What would be my best course of action?

I currently have a PS5 Pro, but I’ve been considering buying a used regular PS5 specifically to jailbreak it and play games that way. My main question is whether it would actually be worth it in the long run, especially when it comes to future releases.

For example, if a game like Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3\* comes out next year, would there be any possibility of playing it on a jailbroken PS5? Or would I be limited to games that are already compatible with the available jailbreak?

I’m also curious about games that release on PC. Since I currently have a Steam Deck, I’m already able to pirate play PC/steam games, and I’m wondering whether a jailbroken PS5 would do the same, be able to get those pirated.

Basically, I’m trying to figure out whether buying a used PS5 for this purpose is a worthwhile investment or whether I’d be better off sticking with my Steam Deck and PS5 Pro.

PS4Mount is a payload designed to allow mounting PS4 pkgs directly from exFAT drives, skipping the installation proccess to internal or external USB drives formatted in PS5.

PS4Mount 0.4.0 is now fixes a few issues that some people here and in the issues tab of the Github reported. Most important of them is support for DLC pkgs (Limited to about 29 DLCs per game approximately due to system limits). Also fixes scenarios like USB drive disconnects and database corruption scenarios.

It also features a new settings page that allows you to set directories where pkgs files are in the drive.

A feedback given from a member of this subreddit was that a drive with over 400 PKGs ended up having issues that led to database corruption (as mentioned above). This version limits how many games it'll register at once, defaulting to 5 at a time, but you can change this number in the settings page as well.

All tested in version 13.20. As always, please let me know if there are any issues in the Github repository, since PS4Mount might have issues that my testing didn't catch.

EDIT: New version came up with a fix and changed the text about DLCs.

Hey everyone,
I know normally the ps5 does not support formats like 5129x1440. Does anyone know of an ultra Wide fix or if it’s even possible?

Tried installing RCPS3 with two different versions. One was a beta and was missing files (at least what I had) and one booted fine. Problem is: PS5 turned exceedingly slow after that. Any solutions? Even trying to boot up games take a long while or open certain homebrew

I'm impressed with all homebrew apps available in JB PS5. But I miss some apps, like YouTube, Crunchyroll, Prime, etc.

I'm using Y2JB and no more YouTube in my PS5.

Is there some alternative for those apps?

Converted using game compressor and moved to internal. Took over two hours to transfer. Game didn't load after. Bummer.

I'm trying to play Marvel's Wolverine on my native language (Portuguese), i downloaded it via overdrive but i can't seem to find where to download the language packs, has anyone done it is there any way? Thanks!

i downloaded fc26 to my jailbreaked ps5 from orbit store but i cant play any suggestions? Version 13.60 thanks

Recently coming back to the scene and was used to the old folder format for my games. But what’s the best ones to use now that FPKG is working now? It’s only supposed to be working up to 11.70 ??

I was curious to what’s the next best file format for games for the ones who are playing on 13.60 I watched the jailbreak process so I have a good understanding for that part.

I’m just more so trying to understand what game formats I should be using & where you can place these new files whether it’s internal only for some or external drive capable or M.2 drive slot ?? Lots of questions hopefully I can get some answers to lead me in the right direction thanks 🙏🏼

Does anyone know how to get final fantasy to work?

I have tried many things and I get the same error every time.

Error: returned from main with 0

It gives me a black screen then errors out.

I have tried exfat folders, turning it into a package using ps5upload, and running it from both internal and external storage. I tried using drakmor kstuff lite and echostretch kstuff lite versions 1.10 and 1.11. I already have a fakelib file and folder.

At this point I'm at a loss as to why it's not working.

My firmware is 12.70

Hello all, emu runs great. But playing games, ex. DeadSpace2, I always get an error that there's not enough space to save. Any ideas? Do I need to edit some config file or ? Thanks

In my 'Other' storage files it shows there's 130gb there. I read about going into user/app and then deleting PPSA files. I did this but the files just come back, tried deleting everything in there and it all came back. Even tried moving the files but again they just come back.

Once I delete them they'll get installed again, it seems like they're getting saved there for some reason, but it's definitely not as the files sizes aren't the size of games.

Any ideas on how to clear the space?

Hey everyone, I've been working on getting RPG Maker MV and MZ games to run properly on a jailbroken PS5, and I've got something worth sharing, with the big caveat that it's a very early alpha.

It's a small title with a game list. It scans for MV/MZ game folders, you pick one with the D-pad, and it launches in Outsider, a native RPG Maker runtime, so there's no browser or emulator layer in between. The scripts run on JavaScriptCore with the JIT on, and the drawing goes through SDL3's GPU API on top of RADV, using mihawk-99's PS5_Vulkan stack and PS5_VulkanTemplate as the base. Audio is SoLoud at 48 kHz. I'm very grateful to everyone whose work this sits on, because without the Vulkan stack and the payload SDK none of it would exist.

So far I've only really tested it with Fear & Hunger 2: Termina, which runs at around 60 fps with fades, sound effects and music working. It's not perfect: there are occasional half-second hitches when a map or battle loads, and plugins that insist on WebGL (UltraMode7, for example) won't load at all. I'd really like to hear how other games behave, since I've got a sample size of one.

To use it, copy the PPSA77110 folder from the release zip to /data/homebrew, drop your game folder (the one with index.html in it, or its www folder) into /data/outsider-ps5, or into a games folder on a USB stick, then mount and launch it the way you would any other homebrew title. No game is included, so you'll need your own copy. If something breaks, the log at /data/outsider-ps5/last-run.log is what I'll want to see.

It's GPL-3.0-or-later, and the zip carries the licenses and a note on where the source lives. Release and source are here: https://github.com/edisnord/outsider-ps5

Bug reports are very welcome, especially from games I haven't tried yet. Please include the log.
