Thanks to work by Cheburek3000 to seek out the best offsets, PS5 Firmware 4.51 now joins the selective group of Firmwares capable of run PS4 FPKG. As all of us guessed by now, it’s solely a matter of time earlier than all hackable firmwares are supported by sleirsgoevy‘s Prosper0gdb and FPKG Enabler. Currently, Firmwares 4.03, 4.50, and now 4.51 are supported. I’m positive extra will come.
The PS5 can now run PS4 Homebrew and PS4 recreation “backups”
Thanks to work by Sleirsgoevy over the previous few weeks, PS4 fpkg help has been totally applied on hacked PS5s.
The FPKG Enabler is now appropriate with Firmwares 4.03, 4.50, and 4.5A, with extra firmwares coming quickly. Of course, by “extra firmwares”, I imply any firmware between 3.00 and 4.51 included, as these are the hackable variations. (If you’re on the lookout for a hackable PS5 mannequin I’ve suggestions right here)
LighningMods additionally not too long ago launched etaHEN, an all-in-one different that provides FPKG help, an FTP Server, blocks updates, and extra. EtaHEN has already been up to date to help Firmware 4.51. The developer additionally launched a Homebrew retailer for the PS5 this week.
Should you replace your PS5 to 4.xx?
As it’s changing into clear that extra firmwares might be supported by this mechanism someday quickly, I personally wouldn’t advocate updating to 4.03/4.50/4.51 when you’re on a decrease firmware (4.02 being the exception right here, I don’t suppose you’re dropping a lot by upgrading from 4.02 to 4.03).
For now, all FPKG Enabler would provide you with is the likelihood to run PS4 recreation backups and homebrew, one thing that’s already attainable, and in higher situations, on a hacked PS4. This isn’t to say that this work isn’t an amazing achievement, however I need everybody to be clear on what this achieves.
The PS5 does give a efficiency increase to most PS4 video games, and FPKG help retains getting higher with new releases virtually day by day.
Download and run PS4 FPKG Enabler on PS5 4.03/4.50/4.51
As a reminder, you will have a PS5 working firmware 4.03/4.50/4.51 to run this payload. Support for extra firmwares is on the best way!
Easiest method: run etaHEN by way of pkg-zone
The easiest method might be to easily level your PS5’s browser to https://pkg-zone.com/exploit/PS5/index.html (that’s lightningmod’s web site which autoloads etaHEN).
Alternatives: seize the etaHEN payload, or construct from supply, then load from a bunch
Alternatively, you may obtain the etaHEN payload your self, or if you wish to go extra hardcore, the kstuff supply code may be discovered on Sleirsgoevy’s github (and that is one of the simplest ways to at all times guarantee you’ve gotten the newest and biggest model). We have a information on methods to construct PS5 payloads right here.
Once the payload is acquired/constructed, you should utilize one of many many hosts out there (akin to zecoxao.github.io/ps5jb ) that may allow you to run the jailbreak and add a payload to your console, or run a bunch your self following certainly one of these guides:
Once the HEN is working:
If you might be having points with some video games not working, Sleirsgoevy has printed the next tip a while in the past:
one other non permanent repair for the library drawback (will see if it’s attainable to combine into the payload, not fully positive). pull /system_data/priv/mms/app.db by way of ftp, open it in any sql editor of your alternative. go to desk named tbl_iconinfo_[some random], in that desk discover the apps you need to launch from library, and set appDrmType to five. then add the file again to ps5 & reboot
this doesn’t bypass the whitelisting, however bypasses the lock ‘coz the system now thinks the app is free.
