Today it’s Echo Stretch who showcases a Ghost of Tsushima backup operating on a hacked PS5, demonstrating what may be achieved with LightningMods’ PS5 backup assist.
PS5 Backups are a actuality
Last week, hacker LightningMods (a.ok.a. LM) dropped a bomb when he shared his progress on operating PS5 backups (sure, that’s what you assume it’s) on hacked PS5s. Although some on the scene have been dismissing it as “it’s at all times been there and the prevailing exploit solely wanted minor modifications to get it to work”, there’s no denying that he’s been the primary one to showcase it working in a public method.
As I perceive it, PS5 backup assist from LightningMods is predicated on his etaHEN payload, and video games are launched through his Homebrew menu ItemzFlow.
LM has been sharing his work with trusted hackers and scene member, for beta testing. He kindly provided to ship me a replica however I politely declined, as I’m at present on Firmware 3.xx, and in the mean time most of those superior hacks are solely operating on Firmwares 4.xx. That’s as a result of they depend on Sleirsgoevy’s “kstuff” library, which has quite a lot of Firmware-specific offsets (progress on porting this to different firmwares is ongoing, which is why personally I’m not updating. You do you in the event you’re on 2.xx or 3.xx).
But from the place I stand, I assume a launch is true across the nook: even with trusted beta testers, because the variety of folks with a replica in palms begins to extend, dangers of a leak (intentional or not) develop into non negligible. I consider LM is aware of that and is just getting ready a launch for “quickly(tm)”.
Today it’s Echo Stretch who shared a video of Ghost of Tsushima’s PS5 model operating on a hacked PS5. As at all times, these movies aren’t proof of something, however Echo Stretch and LightningMods are trusted members of the PlayStation hacking scene, so in my view it’s only a matter of time for homeowners of hacked PS5s to get their palms on the up to date etaHEN.

If you’re searching for a hackable PS5:
- Hunt for both a “new in field” Launch Edition PS5 or “new in field” CFI-10xx (CFI-10xx are what you’re searching for, CFI-11xx are dangerous, CFI-12xx are no go),
or - Look for a used PS5 console the place the vendor can explicitly affirm the firmware. Sometimes trying to find the precise firmware, e.g. PS5 4.03 can yield outcomes. Always double verify!!!
