Well, that’s pretty exciting. My PS5 is already on the latest firmware though lol
Can we not, like… Factory reset these things to roll back to whatever was installed when it was purchased? 🤔
Thats called a downgrade attack and is explicitly blocked by most modern security models that are not a PC.
That’s insane
This, this is why my PS5 has been offline and waiting for hacks’
This is not even close to the reason that my PS5 has been offline, but it’s super neat and probably means we’re close to piracy.
Well the real reason is I built a PC and gave Sony the finger for jacking the price of premium. Again.
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.
Back in March this year, security engineer and modder Andy Nguyen started experimenting with running Linux on the PS5. After months of testing and improvements, he has finally released PS5-Linux
Math was never my strongest point, but something doesent add up here.
2 months is still “months” isn’t it?
But it’s 1,5 months.
He’s really fucking fast you see.
Made sense to the LLM!
The world without editors.
There are editors. It is just an Ai chat bot 🤷
So worse than no editor.
Math was never my strongest point
Think of it like a toddler.
The first 9 months, it’s not even an infant yet. Then boom, you get a baby. 6 months of development later you have a 6 month old toddler. But process started 15 months ago.
Yes, that would make sense, if not for the “started experimenting” part. I do understand the process here, its just that the writing is nonsensical (or AI).
It makes sense…
Just not to you…
Now that I’ve explained it, you agree that it can be taken that way, but still because you didn’t immediately take it the intended way, you see fault with the writing.
That is a very bad attitude to have.
Not immediately understanding what someone means is normal,happens to everyone.
But if after someone explains it in a way you get, doubling down that the writer was at fault aost guarantees you’re going to keep having this problem.
You cant force everyone everywhere to communicate in a way that you immediately get, you have to work on being able to view something multiple different ways and identifying thru context what was meant.
Like, just for purely selfish reasons, you want to be able to understand others
If there are multiple ways it can be interpreted, it’s poorly written
If you think anything can only be interpreted one way, there’s a lot you’re not getting
No.
Plus, since consoles age must faster than humans, we have to convert time into “console years” which passes at a rate of 7 console years for every 1 human year. Therefore the “months of development” is accurate.
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.
Ooh, that might mean that I can pick up a Pro down the line and mod that too.
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

PS4 crying in a corner
Every time I think I know something.
The ps5 is much closer to a traditional PC than the PS3 which was a totally different design. There’s enough different with how the PS5 was designed that it isn’t a traditional PC but Linux is so versatile it can pretty much bridge that gap.
Which has me wondering if a PS5 is the cheapest desktop out there right now.
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
Ah yes games meant to play 720 looks great on a 4k tv…
Why are you being booed? You make a point.
Because people don’t want to comprehend that a 720p machine won’t ever be better than something that can do 4k. They just want to be bitter.
A Wii isn’t better than a ps5 that’s just asinine.
Me, still playing 480p Wii games on my modded Wii with an old ass 1080p TV, having a blast
Sure, but that’s not better than playing games in 4k now is it? Yes it’s fun, but it’s objectively not “better”.
This is the way.
… yes?
My partner has her PS4 plugged into our OLED 4K TV, and it looks great
And wouldn’t a ps5 be better though? Of course you can have fun, but it’s an objectively worse machine.
The PS5 costs lots of money, so it’s objectively worse
Compared to a steam deck? That’s not even close to being true.
The original comment compared it to a ps5, not a wii, not a ps4. Keep on topic.
Compared to a second hand PS4, which is what I was talking about.
Hell, I think my Xbox 360 has good graphics considering I got it out of a dumpster
Fwiw, im also not an idiot. You are correct.
If it was on, I assume it is already updated to 5.x which patched the vulnerability. But if it is 4.x then you’re in luck.
If the jailbreak method ever works on whatever the current firmware is, I’ll probably go ahead and do it to mine.
With hardware prices being what they are is this actually a good deal?
I would personally try to go for a BC-250 blade setup, less performance but roughly half the cost of a secondhand ps5 (in Aus at least) and still capable of modern gaming
I suppose that also depends on time invested tinkering and sourcing components for the BC-250 like an ssd, enclosure and psu
I can’t wait for bringus studios to release a video where he games on a PS5.
He essentially did. He did that one build with one of those ps5 reject boards. Based off that I assumed the ps5 could run standard Linux but I haven’t cared about consoles and modding in a very long time.
I wonder how it compares to the steam machine.
Well, you can get the hardware now for one.
Would be an interesting comparison once it does release though. Especially for a price/performance comparison now that Sony increased PS5 pricing.
Fml, my ps5 is up to date. Maybe I can try and buy an old one and sell mine.
Never bought a PS5, and def don’t plan on ever buying a console ever again. Long live emulators! Fuck you nintendo!!!
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.
