PlayStation scene dev Sleirsgoevy has dropped some new modifications to his PS5 github repository, which is bringing the scene nearer to fpkg help on the PS5. Before everybody blows up on this, we’re speaking about PS4 fpkg help for the time being.
PS4 FPKG Support coming to PS5 soon-ish?
It isn’t any shock that the PS5 has sturdy backwards compatibility with the PS4, particularly for the reason that two consoles use the identical total {hardware} structure.
The scene received on hearth a couple of weeks in the past when “putting in” PS4 fpkg recordsdata apparently grew to become attainable on the PS5, however as many have warned, the looks of a succesful set up doesn’t essentially imply a lot, and particularly it actually didn’t imply the video games would really run, on the time.
However, getting homebrew (and, sure, piracy) help for PS4 titles on the PS5 now looks like it may develop into achievable, and other people consider that Sleirsgoevy’s newest entry to his bd-jb department may deliver fpkg help to the PS5 prior to we’d assume. In the developer’s phrases:
it’s principally the core code for enabling decryption of ps4 fpkg recordsdata. they nonetheless don’t run correctly, however studying the filesystem appears to work tremendous
technically they [fpkg files] are encrypted, simply with a widely known key
The developer has nevertheless despatched a message of warning. When requested if PS4 fpkgs may run on PS5, he replied: it needs to be [possible], however kinda no one is aware of for positive till it runs
Flatz launched FPKG ideas to the PS4 scene in 2018, and since then this has been the primary mechanism getting used to put in unsigned content material on hacked PS4s.
Download Latest PS5 BD-JB code from Sleirsgoevy
You can obtain the most recent code from Sleirsgoevy’s bd-jb repository right here. For most individuals, this will probably be ineffective in its present state. AFAIK that is solely suitable with bd-jb for the second (not webkit), and most probably solely with Firmware 4.03 as I consider that is the firmware Sleirsgoevy has been working with for now.
