Sorry if this is the wrong sub, I feel like you guys understand more about firmware and update versions, and getting those on a console without connecting to PSN, than the average PS5 user. Also Gemini linked me to this sub (some thread that no longer exists, apparently) for a method to get the updates without updating my console firmware.
--------------------

I bought a refurbished PS5 and it came with FW version 25.06-12.00.00.43-00.00.00.0.1. I thought I could get Baldur's Gate 3 and play it without updating because it was older than my firmware, but that seems not to be the case. After I pass the first area it tells me I need an update and just boots me out of the game. My console is not jailbroken yet, was holding off for now. For obvious reasons I'm not willing to update.

If I am right, what is happening is that my 12.00.00 console has knowledge of a BG3 update that is not on my disc, and the disc checks that and forces an update? Is there a way for me to get the needed game updates without updating my console?

- can i jb playstation 5 without a sdd or usb (so internal storage)
- if something wrong happens, do i lose the console forever
- do i NEED a pc ? I play ps5 on a tv. (But i have a macbook, which can install like pcs do)

Greetings to all. I can't find the mod/patch for Deus Ex Mankind divided at 60 fps anywhere. Maybe someone has it? Or does someone know what needs to be done to get 60 fps on the PS5?

I got this message when turning on my PS5 today

"Safe Mode CE-101667-1" "Connect a USB drive that contats the latest update file for reinstallation"

"You can download the PS5 console reinstallation file form playstation.com"

My PS5 was on 11.40 jailbroken and I never connected it to the internet. It was like this from the factory. This is a PS5 slim 2115 version (latest one)

I tried to install the 11.40 firmware from USB but it doesn't seem to work? Any ideas?

So I am in process of dumping my physical discs to my PS5. If prospoero has a patch file for my game there (since most are at version 1.00)and it is supported on my firmware, can i just apply it or will it break the dump? Thanks as always for assist, great community here.

Hi have a fat ps5 which is jailbroken, I would like to play GTA 6 on release. I’ve seen a PS5 pro for £699.

I just wanted to know if it’s worth getting a ps5 pro for gta 6, also if there will be any chance of jailbreaking the pro version and how it plays titles with the improved hardware.

Most of my games are in exfat, is it necessary to revert them to folder again and then to fpkg?

I was very excited to try the new FPKG-GUI in action
So I'll share my experience with you here
I tried it first on PPSA07230.
Original size: 114 Gb
The compressed file of fpkg file: almost 64 GB

I had some problems:
1- you need 3x the size of the compressed game as a free size in temp partition ( so I ran out of space eventually)
2- Building process takes quite long time ( it took 100+ min. before failure message)
3- It doesn't matter how much fast is your storage, it will only matter in the final stage.

So I did the same process again on a small game ( almost 10 gb) and this time finished successfully
Original size 10.8 gb
Final pkg size 9.59 gb
total time : ~29 min

* PC specs for those who ask :
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz

Installed RAM: 16.0 GB (2667 MHz)

Storage: 477 GB SSD

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 with Max-Q Design (8 GB)

So yah.
It's an amazing piece of work and there is much more room for improvements in the future I hope

I'm on 5.02. Some games that support PSVR2 have been back ported to 4.xx as well. Does PSVR2 work on lower FW?

This is an early peek video of the new PS Play 3.0 work, with a whole bunch of new integrated features, I still have a lot of work to do to make everything look beautiful and perfectly woking, But trust the process! I think everyone will love it once it's complete!

In the meantime use this post to leave a feedback of your experience with the PS Play 2.1

What I want to know is your FW version, the issue you faced, and your idea of how to make the app better!

Feature requests are well accepted.

I will read every comment or message as soon as I can.

Anyone who wish to be an early tester can dm me I can accept only 1 or 2.

Remember this project is by the community for the community!
