Internal M.2 SSD filled with exfats running flawlessly.

I cancelled my GTA 6 preorder and jb my Pro on 13.60. No regrets at all.

Honestly, I hadn’t touched my PS5 in years until I came across a jailbreak video. I had no idea how much was possible with this console, and after discovering the homebrew scene, I went down a rabbit hole looking at all the incredible projects people have been working on. 😂

Pretty much everything shown in the photos is what I have and I’m even expecting a 5TB HDD to arrive so I can expand everything even further. Needless to say, I’m pretty excited to see what more I can do with my PS5 and what more this community has to offer 😎

But beyond all the games and emulators, I really wanted to make this post to show some appreciation to the developers behind these projects.

From PSXS5 and PS5SX2 to RetroArch, Nintendo emulators, ports, and all the other amazing tools being developed, it’s honestly incredible to see what people have managed to accomplish.

I can only imagine the amount of time, knowledge, testing, and troubleshooting that goes into making these projects work. Developing software is already difficult enough, let alone getting emulators and applications running on a console they weren’t originally designed for.
A lot of this work probably goes unnoticed, and I think the people putting their time and skills into these projects deserve more recognition than they get.

Thanks to everyone who develops, maintains, updates, and shares these projects, as well as everyone who creates guides and helps others in the community. Your work makes a real difference, and in my case, it genuinely brought me back to a console I hadn’t touched in years.

I might not understand all the technical work that goes on behind the scenes, but I can certainly appreciate the results. It’s amazing seeing what passionate people can accomplish when they put their minds together.
To all the developers who might come across this post: thank you for everything you do.

I hope you know that your work is appreciated by people like me who get to enjoy the results of all your hard work.
If you enjoy these projects too, show the developers some love, give them credit, report bugs when you can, star their repositories, or donate if they have an official way to accept support.

Much respect to everyone contributing to the PS5 homebrew scene. You guys are awesome, and I’m glad I stumbled across that jailbreak video. 🙏❤️🎮

You can now put your waifus on the screen.

Got this pop up yesterday and been looking online. Some people saying they’re glad their PS5’s have been unplugged for a while and some say that they will hold until the jailbreak drops regardless. My confusion comes from the first group of people happy that they have had theirs unplugged. Does this mean if you get the pop up ur screwed whether a jailbreak is released or not ? If not then what does it matter if it was unplugged?

Is it RetroArch with themes or is there a specific app for the PSP emulator? I know there's ProsperoEden for the Switch emulator but the launcher does not look like that so does anybody know?

For those who missed it, NeoEnabler is a payload that enables the PS4 Pro mode flag for unsupported PS4 titles. With it, you can have patches using illusionyy"s ps-patch-system (Need to be loaded first before it can actually work) to be developed to increase the game's resolution. This opens the way for patches for up to 4K depending on the game.

https://github.com/gasb07/NeoEnabler/releases/tag/v0.3.0

0.3.0 brings lots of quality-of-life improvements to the experience:

- There's no more need to copy and paste xmls to the console. NeoEnabler syncs all XML patches from the payload's repository every time it launches, and also allows you to manually scan for new updates. It then merges NeoEnabler's patches with your current ones, regardless of what CUSAXXXXX you have (It uses the Title attribute of the XML on your console to match with ours, so if it doesn't detect your game, this might a Title mismatch)

- You can activate patches directly from the web interface, and it detects the games you have that have resolution patches available. You can only choose one of the resolution patches, but any other can be activated together (Some patches can affect the resolution patches. If you have a problem, try disabling all patches and testing only with the resolution one)

- Game search: You can search for games (There are less than 10 games, but who know what the future brings?)

- Automatic enabling and disabling of PS4 Pro mode and 8GB mode: The patches selected will determine what modes NeoEnabler will activate when you start a supported game. When you close it, it disables them. For 13.20 and 13.60 (Which I still need feedback on whether it worked or not), some patches only work with the 8GB enabled (highlighted on each patch that requires it). 8GB PATCHES REQUIRE HYPERVISOR EXPLOIT TO BE ACTIVATED. 8GB mode patches can only be selected when all required condition are met (firmware + hypervisor exploit).

- GPU Boost (13.20 for now, still gonna check some stuff before trying to open to all): Force the GPU clock to run at up to 2200Mhz. It might provide some performance, it may not, but it's nice to have.
I hope you all enjoy the new changes, and if you guys have any problems, feel free to open an issue and I'll look into it as soon as I can.

After some digging got CachyOS running on FW13.60 thanks Sonic his new Linux Loader.

I know some of you guys were asking for this one! Have fun!

I've been trying to find a kernel exploit in 14.00 using the Luacore exploit in the PS2 sandbox, and i cant seem to. its been days now. -> ive started probing the webkit/user guide dns redirect bug to probe what i can see from inside the browsers frame. -> ive rebuilt missing pieces of it such as wasm. however i cant find ANY bugs or ways to even speak to the kernel (I could in luacore exploit. but the sandbox is locked tight). ANYBODY have any suggestions?

Guys please don’t ask me about discord link Idk if it’s legal to share it . Go to X ( twitter ) to sonic_iso account u will find it there
It’s a happy day 🎉🎉

Disclosure first: I work at Buddy, a CI/CD company. I built this with Claude Code as a demo of our pipeline tooling and it runs on our infra. No ads, no signup, nothing to buy. I also don't own a jailbroken PS5, so nothing on it was tested on hardware by me.

https://ps5.alternative.to

What's in it:

- /fixes/ — 15 symptom-to-fix entries. aio groups hang, kernel panics at 80%, CE-108262-9, the 9021 loader only listening on localhost on 7.00-13.60, DNS that never redirects, 11.40 wanting Poopsploit.

- /games/ — the install-method table. Public PS5 FPKG still stops at 11.60; above that it's folder dumps through ShadowMountPlus and etaHEN drops out.

- /emulation/ — setup pages for PS5SX2, KB-RPCS3 and PSXS5 from their own READMEs. Including that KB-RPCS3 has no downloadable build until the GPL-2.0 vs GPL-3.0 conflict resolves, and PS5SX2's test matrix stops at 12.70.

The weak part, before you find it yourselves: the 1,071-title game list looks far more authoritative than it is. Titles come from Wikipedia. Status comes from comparing release dates against 16 Sep 2026 - I'm still figuring a way to automate the actual list from the storefronts.

The pipeline that auto-updates the website once is scraping a few sources - if you wish to get a list let me know.

Let me know what you think.

A new ProsperoEden pre-release is out, bringing more memory configuration options, DualSense improvements, graphics fixes, and performance optimizations for this experimental Nintendo Switch emulator on jailbroken PS5.

One fix I'm especially happy about: an issue I personally encountered with Fire Emblem: Three Houses that caused the game to crash has been fixed in this version!

What's New

• Per-game memory settings — Choose 4, 6, or 8 GiB of emulated console memory, with individual settings for games that need more. This uses the PS5's existing memory pool; it doesn't add physical RAM.
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fix — Fixed a startup crash involving large modded RomFS filesystems, including the tested UltraCam setup.
• DualSense improvements — Added audio-based haptics support and improved controller handling.
• Better performance overlay — The Vulkan overlay can now show the game's actual rendering resolution rather than just the TV output resolution.
• Graphics fixes — Fixes for scenes appearing in a single flat colour, geometry-shader issues, and texture updates.
• Performance optimizations — Improvements to CPU/JIT processing, GPU cache handling, command processing, and frame scheduling.
• More control options — Split touchpad clicks, remappable menu actions, and improved Joy-Con input handling.
• Launcher customization — New Slate theme, accent presets, and experimental external launcher packs.
• Improved diagnostics — The launcher now makes the crash-report location available.
• Additional fixes — Improved font access, OnionHEN app-jailbreak support, and Malay translation.

Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Found a bug or have a feature idea? Share it in the official Discord. Include your PS5 firmware, the game you're testing, and logs when possible.

This is my first time jailbreaking. I’ve been playing wolverine but the experience sucks. Tried folder dump, and lz4. It crashes on me and game save, sound issues every new mission, specially Japan.
I’m enjoying the game but TBH researching on just making the game work stressed me out (not limited to wolverine). There is so much to understand why a game is not working. I’ve paused playing any games for now.

I hope the fpkg support will come up to 13.60 soon. Just sharing my thoughts.

Since Sony is going fully digital, and Square wont show any love for Xenogears, i decided I'd make it playable on current hardware.

Is there a way to use Discord voice chat while playing games on a jailbroken PS5, just as one would on a standard PS5, without needing a computer? Like, without having to go through the process of linking your PlayStation account to Discord.

I wanted to get in on the vibe coding ports action so I made sysdvr client for ps5. If you havent heard of this you put the homebrew on a modded switch and it streams the video capture to a client somewhere else, only way to get switch lite on the big screen.

So far I only got the wireless connection up and running but it's working great for me, my ps5 is wired and wifi router is right next to the switch.

I'm having more fun tinkering with the ps5 than playing lately! Anyway if there's any interest in this I can put it up on github.

Thanks!

Byepervisor Reborned being released gave me an idea: If I can already run higher resolutions with the current 5.5GB limit for PS4 Pro mode, what if I could use the hypervisor exploit to increase this limit to 8GB, since 5.5GB is not enough for some games at 4K?

This is the result. Bloodborne running at native 4K on a 13.20 PS5.

Unfortunately that's the only firmware version it works on since the kernel needs to be altered at runtime for this, and every kernel has a different offset. Soon I'll be releasing a new version of NeoEnabler for people with 13.20 to test. There's also an untested implementation for 13.60, but I can't guarantee it'll work because firmware support for each version requires kernel dumps that I don't have. This is a project that, if it gains traction, will require the help of the community.

In the meantime, you can try the already released version on neo-enabler with patches for 7 different games, but not all reach 4K without the hypervisor compatible version (Bloodborne being one of them)

Hello, I just noticed my game backups have the name written in a generic font instead of showing up the game logo and the small quote below like the pic related shows (not mine).

I tried connecting to the internet with the automatic DNS to see if it would fetch them up but that didn't work.

I'm currently on FW 12.60 and running my game backups in folder format. I've never logged in to the PSN in this PS5 btw, don't know if that has anything to do, cause I also don't have the welcome tile in home screen.

Could somebody help me? Maybe there is a payload that lets you fetch that metadata but I haven't found any. Thanks!

I'm running firmware version 3.60 but because my ISP wont play nice (neither does my mobile hotspot) I'm forced to use Webkit autoloader to host.

I'm using webkit autoloader-host v0.6.1 exe.

I get what looks to be several errors, but the resulting fail.

Is this common? I've just decided to jailbreak on a whim, with very little jailbreak knowledge. Seriously, any help would be amazing.
