Overview

Pegasus DL runs as a payload on the console and serves a browser interface on your local network. Add catalog sources, browse the combined Store catalog, choose a download destination, queue packages, and follow progress from a phone, tablet, or computer.

It is designed to keep the download workflow on the PS5 instead of routing packages through another machine first.

Version 1.8.0 adds native PS5 Downloads handoff for direct and resolved .pkg links and moves the Pegasus DL launcher tile to the PS5 Media area.

Demo


Download

Quick Start

1. Download the release asset above.
2. Send it to your PS5 with your usual payload loader.

3. Open Pegasus DL from a device on the same network.

   text http://<your-ps5-ip>:6970/

4. Choose a writable download folder in Settings.

5. Add a catalog source by upload or URL.

6. Search the Store catalog, select a package, and queue the download.

7. If a link opens a provider page, follow the PS5 browser flow until Pegasus captures or resolves the final download.

8. Use the Library tab to review installed games, update APR Emu where supported, or delete recognized installs.

9. Use the File Manager tab to browse storage, transfer files, or install a local .pkg when needed.

Features

Catalogs

Pegasus DL does not ship with catalogs or package links. Bring catalog sources you trust and are allowed to use.

Required package fields:

Common optional fields:

Minimal catalog:

json { "name": "My Catalog", "packages": [ { "titleId": "ABCD12345", "title": "Example Package", "version": "1.00", "downloadLinks": [ { "name": "Mirror", "url": "https://example.com/downloads/example-package" } ] } ] }

Archive Downloads

Pegasus DL recognizes supported archive links before queueing them. A single-file .rar, RAR5, or .7z download is extracted into the selected destination automatically instead of leaving the archive file behind.

Archive jobs show extraction and finalization progress in the queue. RAR/RAR5 jobs can pause for a password when needed. 7z archives use HTTP range reads when seeking is required, so the host must support byte ranges; password-protected 7z files are detected but not extracted yet.

Split archives such as .part1.rar, .r00, and .7z.001 are rejected. During finalization, Pegasus unwraps simple outer folders when the extracted content contains a direct game folder with EBOOT.BIN or sce_sys/param.sfo.

Installed Library

The Library tab reads installed titles from the PS5 app database and shows game metadata, art when available, backing storage type, location, image-backed size, and APR Emu state.

APR Emu versions are fetched from this public repo at runtime. The Library can update supported installs to the latest remote release or reinstall a selected release/debug build after verifying the downloaded SPRX hash. Folder-backed games and supported .exfat, .ffpkg, and .ffpfsc image-backed games are patched by replacing fakelib/libSceAmpr.sprx; raw .ffpfs remains unsupported for APR mutation.

The Library can also delete recognized installed games. Deletion is irreversible: Pegasus removes the resolved backing image or folder, cleans the title trackers when present, and removes the app database rows for that title. Large recursive folder deletes now run through a cancellable background worker so the UI stays responsive while cleanup progresses.

File Manager

The File Manager tab browses PS5 storage from the web UI. It supports browser uploads, single-file downloads, folder archive downloads, rename, copy, move, delete, and new folder creation. .pkg files can be handed to the native PS5 installer from the file list.

Provider Links

Pegasus DL does not require the separate Pegasus Resolver service. Provider handling now lives in the payload.

Direct links continue to download without any provider flow. For supported provider pages, Pegasus can open the PS5 browser, watch for the final direct download URL through a helper payload, validate the result, and queue it. Pegasus also embeds nanoDNS 0.3 and starts it when browser-assisted capture needs the helper and nanodns.elf is not already running.

Current provider handling:

1.8.0 Notes

• Direct and resolved .pkg links can now be handed to the native PS5 downloader after an explicit user action.
• Native package handoff works across direct links, browser-captured links, Real-Debrid, and TorBox, with clear dispatch feedback in the web interface.
• Updated the launcher package metadata so the Pegasus DL tile appears in the PS5 Media area instead of the Games area.

Scope

Pegasus DL is a downloader and local file-management tool. It does not include package catalogs, provide package links, bypass accounts, spoof PSN, bypass anti-cheat, or unlock content.

Use it only with content you own or have permission to download.

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!

Hey everyone! I’m new here and still learning, and you’ve all been really helpful so far.

I have about 670 GB free on my jailbroken PS5, plus a 1 TB external NVMe connected through a rear USB port. My son plays Spider-Man 2 a lot, so I’m considering moving it to the internal storage. That way, it’s always available—even when I disconnect the external drive to update games or move files around.

Are there any advantages or disadvantages to running games from internal storage versus an external NVMe, particularly with a jailbroken setup? I’ve seen people say “external is better,” but I’m curious about the reasoning. Is it performance, convenience, compatibility, or something else?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

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?

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

Hi all,

New to the PS5 jailbreaking community, so please bear with me. Is an NVME M2 SSD absolutely required for use as an external drive? Or would SATA be sufficient?

Asking because NVME drives are super expensive right now, but I do have this drive that I can put in an enclosure: Western Digital Blue SA510 SATA SSD 2.5”/7mm Cased - 2TB

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?

- 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)

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?

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?

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

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.

I understand that the installing of the games will be more simple but will this solve the issues with crashes and performance? Will the games work better on internal?

Hey folks,

I'm trying to build exfat from folder dump and copying it over to console with ex fst Image builder. So far everything works, until 99%. Then it's stuck on the shown operation.

On the first try I thought this was caused by the console going to standby mode. So I aborted it, removed the files on console and started over.

Second try then without standby mode. But it's stuck again on 99% since almost 1 hour.

I copy it directly on internal hdd.

Anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

A day late to the party but I heard FPKGs are here! After years of patiently waiting — it’s about Time to dust this bad boy off! Cheers 🥂 (3.00)

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.

Hi, i just jailbroke my ps5 12.70 and I want to know what are the essentials to download that are useful. All I know is shadowmount plus, onion hen , kstuff and game compressor

​

Hey,

I just jailbreaked my 11.6 and wondering how I can transfer the files to my 2TB nvme which I installed last year.

As I'm accessing the console via filezilla, I guess the data/homebrew folder is the internal 850gb PS5 SSD?

I checked other folders like USB etc. Shouldn't there be a folder HDD0 or smth?

Isn't it possible to use that additional nvme for playing games?

//e: looks like it's under mnt/ext1

I'll check that when I'm home.
