PS5 jailbreak & homebrew resources

A browser-based jailbreak for PS5 firmware 7.00–13.60, as documented by its maintainer. Starts an ELF loader so you can run homebrew payloads.

Kernel patches used by native PS5 homebrew. Match the build to your firmware and the requirements of the app you want to run.

A homebrew enabler with a toolbox, plugins and background services. Check the setup guide for the build you plan to use.

Registers folder-based homebrew so it appears on the PS5 home screen. Requires kstuff-lite 1.07 or newer; check the release notes before changing versions.

A homebrew enabler and toolbox built on etaHEN. The new v0.9.0-beta1 adds 13.x testing support; it is a test build, not a stable replacement. Requires an active jailbreak and ELF loader.

Runs a cached jailbreak chain and loads your chosen payloads. On 7.00–13.60, its loader accepts uploads from the console itself rather than your computer.

Play your PS2 games on PS5 with a PCSX2-based emulator and Vulkan renderer. Needs the PS5SX2 Helper, kstuff, ShadowMountPlus and your own BIOS and games.

An experimental Nuvio TV port for firmware 13.60, with native playback through EVO. Source only: you need a Mac to build it and a computer serving the interface on your local network.

Launch homebrew and browse console files from a web interface on your computer, phone or PS5. Load it through an ELF loader after jailbreaking.

Move files between your PS5 and FTP, SFTP, SMB, NFS, WebDAV or HTTP servers. Follow the project’s homebrew web server setup guide.

A native Super Mario 64 port that launches from the PS5 home screen. Bring your own US-version game data and follow the native runtime setup.

A native Mario Kart Wii port built with WiiCompiled and PS5 GPU rendering. Requires your own PAL RMCP01 disc data; other regions are not supported by this build.

An FTP payload for transferring files between your computer and a jailbroken PS5 on a trusted local network.

Stream PS5 kernel logs to your computer to investigate crashes and payload problems. Remove personal information before sharing a log.

A debugger payload for inspecting running PS5 processes from a remote client. Intended for developers and advanced troubleshooting on a trusted network.

Build PS5 ELF payloads with compiler tools, headers, libraries and working examples. A practical place to start writing console-side homebrew.

Runs ELF payloads in separate processes after a jailbreak. Check which loader your setup uses: variants can accept different upload methods and connections.

Build PS5 payloads and native application modules in C# with a .NET 10 toolchain. Check the prerequisites for your chosen target.

A C linker, startup code and console symbol catalog for building native PS5 titles that launch from the home screen.

An experimental OpenGL 4.6 graphics stack built on Mesa, with EGL, an SDK and native examples. It is not Khronos-certified.

An experimental Vulkan 1.3 graphics and compute SDK for native PS5 homebrew. Its supported features are limited and it is not Vulkan-conformant.

Run Python in a PS5 payload with a CPython interpreter, browser-based script manager and examples. Experimental; desktop Python features are not all available.

A community-maintained PS5 reference covering hardware, software, homebrew and platform internals.

Technical explanations of PS5 architecture, the hypervisor and memory protections.

Ask setup questions and follow release discussions in the PS5 jailbreak community. Check downloads and compatibility against the original developer’s guide.
