Lost all my games, homebrew, and disc drive access thanks to a kernel panic, feeling bummed about it.

• Upvotes

Had a kernel panic while starting WebKit Autoloader v0.6.1; forced me to reinstall system firmware. Thankfully I was able to find one for firmware 13.60, but I lost all my PSN games and saves, I have to reinstall all the homebrew again, and now I can't use my disc drive anymore, which super sucks because that was the only method I had of watching physical movies.

One of my favorite ps4 games seemingly isn't archived anywhere, so that's gone too; the physical edition is $200 (not that I can even play it because of the disc drive being unactivated now), and it's not like I can connect to PSN on my firmware and redownload it again; so it's just lost forever now I guess.

I am having a pretty bad day.

That's what I'm going to tell my grandkids about 2026 and how we made PS5 opensource.

I remember the last time I felt so overwhelmed with possibilities was back on the PS2 OG days. I can't keep up with so much stuff

guys this might be a stupid question but I'm new to all this and wanted to know if I should update to 13.60 or stay on 13.00. I've heard that a lot of New games don't work on 13.00.

I just did the whole process.

Congratulations. My PS5 is now jailbroken. But what is the fucking point if you’re going to tell ME “bring your own disc” or “have your OWN copy of games in order to play”

How, exactly, am I fucking “taking back” control from big company. If YOU PEOPLE are telling ME that I still have to fucking BUY THE GAME. Just to play.

Why the HELL would I want to buy a $20 Xbox 360 game just to fucking emulate it on a PS5?

The videos and the amount of people talking about this bullshit process makes it seem like EVERYTHING IS FREE. But every fucking step of the way, it doesn’t matter WHAT I download. Prospero Eden. 64 Emulator. Steam remote play. EVERYTHING always has that caveat “OWN THE GAME. THEN YOU CAN PLAY”.

SO WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE ADVERTISING AS IF SHIT IS FREE WHEN I NEED TO PAY FOR IT ANYWAYS? 😂

megathread Windows Xp on the Freaking PS5!

Post image
1 Upvotes

A new project called ps5-windows-xp reportedly allows jailbroken PS5 consoles to run Windows XP, with the developer claiming full-speed performance.

What’s even more interesting is that Windows XP reportedly appears as its own application on the PS5 home screen, rather than requiring users to boot into a separate operating system.

According to the developer, the project supports 3D games, DualSense controllers, audio, and web browsing. Some Windows games are also reportedly playable.

Imagine running an operating system from the early 2000s on modern PlayStation hardware. 😂

With all the recent developments involving Linux, native emulators, Prospero-Win, and now Windows XP, it’s becoming increasingly interesting to see what developers can achieve with a jailbroken PS5.

Huge appreciation to the developers who continue pushing the boundaries of PS5 homebrew.

Hey little chickens

I've been trying to play Battlefield 3 for several hours, but I can't launch it., I mean, it crashes right before the first mission appears, on the loading screen.

Does this happen to you too in some games?

Is a ps5 pro that much better for performance?

6 Upvotes

I'm just curious because I only have a jailbroken ps4 and I'm told the pro is much better for 60fps and ports. I feel like there's more diminishing returns because the CPU of the 4 was very underpowered. Cheapest I ever saw a PS5 pro on slickdeals was like $550 after taxes so that might've been worth it

PS5 Firmware 13.00 — What Are the Chances of FPKG Support Coming Soon?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m running a PS5 on firmware 13.00, and with the recent release of the hypervisor exploit, I’m wondering what the realistic chances are of getting FPKG support soon.
I understand that FPKGs currently don’t work on my firmware, but I’d like to know how much progress is needed before they could become usable.
What are the chances of FPKG support being released within the next few weeks or months?

Is anyone actively working on the required patches or homebrew tools for firmware 13.00?

Is there any indication from developers about how close we are to getting FPKGs working?

Would it make sense to start downloading FPKG games now and keep them until support arrives?

The last question is particularly important to me because internet access where I’m currently based in a third world country and internet access is very poor. Downloading large games is difficult, so I want to use my available data wisely and avoid downloading the same games again in another format later.

I know nobody can predict an exact release date, but I’d appreciate an informed assessment based on the current development progress rather than pure speculation.

Thanks!

Hello friends, my PS5 fat is on FW 11.60 JB, everything is perfect.

I would like to know if an app or something else is available to use all the previous controllers ?

I know the PS5 restriction for PS5 games, and play Tekken 8 using PS1 controller could be masterclass ( using usb adaptator )

y2jb autoloader not playing nice with 127.0.0.1 making nanoDNS ineffective

0 Upvotes

When setting up y2jb autoloader the only way I could get it to work was by setting DNS to 127.0.0.2. Anything else would either prevent it from running or just make it revert to the youtube app. I have it running 100% of the time now by just keeping DNS at 127.0.0.2 but obviously that creates an issue with nanoDNS since it only works with 127.0.0.1.

Anybody else run into this? Did you fix it?

Why do you all want linux on PS5?

0 Upvotes

Hey

Serious question: why do you want linux on your PS5? So many emulators are running smoothly in 4k 60FPS, tons of recompiled games, tons of game streaming apps and multimedia apps

What is the first thing you will do on linux you can't on your jailbroken PS5?

Can someone give me a realistic lowdown on the current state of PS5 homebrew?

0 Upvotes

Hey folks,

Would anyone be kind enough to explain what’s going on with the recent surge in PS5 homebrew developments?
From what I understand, modders have found ways to jailbreak certain PS5 firmware versions, potentially opening the door to emulation, homebrew applications and playing games from previous PlayStation generations. I’ve also seen discussions about running digital games and using external hardware to access physical media, although I’m not entirely sure what’s actually possible at this stage.
There seems to be a lot of excitement and exposure on YouTube, but Reddit discussions often seem much more cautious about the risks and limitations. That’s made me hesitant to try anything myself.

My main concerns are the potential consequences of going down this route, including PSN bans, losing access to online features, being unable to install future firmware updates, and compatibility issues with newer games or essential updates. I’m also conscious that the situation might be more complicated than some of the YouTube clickbait videos make it seem.

For some people, those trade-offs are probably worthwhile. Personally, though, I’m reluctant to compromise my PS5’s standard functionality when I’m still waiting for GTA VI and have various other upcoming releases I want to play.

So, what’s the reality of PS5 homebrew right now?
What can you realistically do with a jailbroken PS5?
How significant are the risks of PSN bans or losing access to online features?

How restrictive are the firmware requirements, and what does that mean for future game releases and updates?

Is it practical to maintain a homebrew PS5 alongside a normal console, or are the compromises too significant?

Ideally, I’d love to hear from people who have actually jailbroken their consoles and can speak from experience, including what they’ve found worthwhile, what limitations they’ve encountered, and whether they’d recommend it to others.

I’m interested in an honest assessment of the current situation, rather than just the hype or the doom and gloom.
Cheers!
