Based on this list, it looks like you have to be sitting on a 2022 or earlier non-updated PS5 to have a chance at the 4.51 or lower firmware to use this. A chance it’ll open up to other firmwares and as said maybe there’s a limited functionality 5.xx exploit on the horizon, but just a bit of reality before you get too excited.
Didn’t the PS5 boot signing keys leak recently? The word when that happened was that it blew PS5 modding wide open in a way that couldn’t be closed without new hardware, though I guess publishing anything that used Sony’s key would have their lawyers after you real quick.
I wonder what would happen if people started mass posting the key like they did with the DVD DRM keys back in the day, though I’m sure the industry would be much more aggro these days
Ooh, that might mean that I can pick up a Pro down the line and mod that too.
Well gotta turn off auto updates immediately.
Edit: by immediately I mean years ago, apparently.
Good thing mine has been unplugged ever since I realized a docked steam deck paired with ps5 controllers was a way better experience than using the PS5 anyway
I immediately blocked my ps5 from the internet when the Rom keys got leaked, but I too fear it was already too late
If I install Linux on a PS5, can I use the Blu-ray drive as a PC optical drive to rip DVD’s and shit?
I doubt it, but if so, maybe you can do UHD Blu-Rays too, since the PS5 can handle those.
Well, that’s pretty exciting. My PS5 is already on the latest firmware though lol
Fml, my ps5 is up to date. Maybe I can try and buy an old one and sell mine.
Is it cost effective?
If you can pick up a second-hand PS5, possibly. Obviously is if you already own one and wanna Proton it.
Isn’t the PS5 already a fully functional gaming computer?
The hardware is sold under value, by having the games more expensive. And if you’ve got the console, you’re locked in, don’t have a choice.
Just like printers, actually.
Never bought a PS5, and def don’t plan on ever buying a console ever again. Long live emulators! Fuck you nintendo!!!
