New jailbreak released for PS5 & PS5 Pro

[Boswollox]

I saw a modded PS5PRO running GOW on Linux and ran better than the legit version.

I know people get pissy about the piracy aspect, but being able to put different OSs on hardware and pushing it to it's limits is exciting.

For Sony, it moves units because a jail broken PS5PRO is better value than a PC.

What exactly can you do with a jailbroken PS5? A fancy emulator machine?

You can boot into Linux too.

 

[Entropi]

You can boot into Linux too.

Yay?

 

[heroeskillrats]

Is it bad though? You think the average PS5 owner is gonna jailbreak so they have to stay offline?

Depends on how easy it is to do, I saw some say it was super easy and some say they failed to do it for some reason.
I mean this coming out 1 month before GTA 6, before GOW Laufey, before Intergalactic?
It's also rumored that PS6 games will come to PS5 for a long time or that's the assumption.

That's kind of surprising tbh, since the PS OS is built on FreeBSD. I wonder why there is enough overhead to meaningfully detract from performance in games

I've also heard this one is pretty easy. A less than five minutes sort of situation.

I'm not sure. There's the OS and maybe always online processes like metadata, metrics, biometric data and the like that all companies scrape.

Fwiw, Sony make the best hardware to jailbreak. The Vita is an absolute monster for the games it can play. Running Fallout on the go from the native files is a lot of fun, not to mention Zelda, road rash and sonic/mario.

A jailbroken PS5PRO will be a Christmas present from me to me this year. Hopefully they can push the PSVR2 to its limits as well, because that headset is something special.

The vita jailbreak used to have a lot of hoops, now you just type an address into the web browser and it does it itself. Even always you to strip the firmware back, which is a huge step.

That's actually kind of appealing, if i ever decide to fully cut off Sony i might turn my ps5 pro into a jailbroken device

Play pirated games.

can you play gta6 on release?

 

[Ico]

can you play gta6 on release?

thats all you got?

 

[Brood Intern]

More trouble than it’s worth as a busy adult with the funds to buy every major release.

 

[Shmunter]

Damn, probably emulate all the prior consoles and give the games rez and 60 boosts.

 

[arvfab]

Just wanted to remind the not-so-smart users blaming the disc drive as the reason for piracy/jailbreaks on PS5, that this one exploits yet again the WebKit vulnerabilities (in this specific case via the User's Guide).

I guess Sony should make PlayStation an offline-only console next to make it more secure....

Nothing wrong with having another PS5PRO jail broken and offline. Play legit Sony games on one PS5 and emulate games on the other. Plus you have full access to a suite of productivity applications. A jail broken console isn't just for gaming.
One can only imagine how well a console could render 3D animation for home graphics and cartoon usage.

 

[Yrassinad]

They kinda fucked up by releasing this before GTA6 comes out. Digital only means you'll likely need to do a firmware update to play/download it right?

EDIT: already patched I see

They'll find a workaround, don't worry lol. This was going to get patched either way, them releasing it just gives people the heads up to not update their consoles if they want to JB it.

Well i have a pretty powerful PC so I'm all set on productivity, the 9070XT actually does pretty well and when zen 6 comes out I'll upgrade to the latest x3d cpu. But the ability to sideload linux is kinda making me want to do it

If you pull the trigger, will you let us know how it performs? I want to see how much juice can be squeezed from that machine.
With Cerny saying that the PRO upgrades are down to developers, I doubt any of them outside of Sony will have done it. It would be cool to see how much of a battering the CPU and GPU could take.

If you have steam, you could side load Linux and run we everything through proton as well.

Yeah I wouldn't do it now as i still want to play some sony games, I'm talking about maybe later after the gen or if Sony really decides to tell consumers to go f themselves
