PlayStation scene developer LightningMods has been laborious at work with (PS4) homebrew assist on the PS5. Although the developer has already been showcasing some PS5 native homebrew these days (utilizing Astrelsky‘s libhijacker), he’s clearly been wanting on the current assist for PS4 FPKG as nicely. Today he demonstrated that his fancy homebrew supervisor Itemzflow is working on the PS5, after some tweaks.
PS4 FPKG Support brings the PS5 in control with hacked PS4s
Sleirsgoevy lately launched FPKG Enabler on the PS5, a instrument that permits hacked PS5s to run PS4 Homebrews and backups. Although FPKG Enabler solely runs on PS5 Firmware 4.03 for now, there’s hope it may be ported to different firmwares someday quickly. (I don’t suggest updating to 4.03 in the intervening time, except you’re on 4.02)
Incoming Homebrew supervisor for PS5
In the meantime, tinkerers have been busy on Firmware 4.03, and LightningMods is one in every of them. A cool wanting Homebrew supervisor on the PS5 could be superior, and his work right here could possibly be a stepping stone to a future PS5 Homebrew supervisor as nicely.

ItemzFlow actually seems to be attractive and to me is one further motive to personal a hacked PS5. Those have been tougher (aka dearer) to seek out these days however are nonetheless round on p2p ecommerce websites.
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 verify the firmware. Sometimes looking for the precise firmware, e.g. PS5 4.03 can yield outcomes. Always double examine!!!
The developer hasn’t specified what number of modifications have been required to date to get Itemzflow to work on the PS5, or when he plans to launch. The mission’s github isn’t seeing any updates lately, so I’m guessing the continued work is both personal for now, or just not prepared for a commit but.
Now we play the ready sport 🙂
